2. What is the historical and theoretical context for the ideas behind your thesis?
Chandigarh was intended to be established in two phases, with a population of half a million
people. Today, Chandigarh is a home to more than a million of people. The fast expansion
and development of Chandigarh resulted in increased demand for its services and utilities,
resulting in the creation of two satellite towns: Mohali in Punjab, now known as Sahibzada
Ajit Singh Nagar (SAS Nagar), and Panchkula in Haryana.
Mohali located in west of Chandigarh, is becoming a desirable location not just for the IT
industry, but also for housing and urban infrastructure related projects due to prime
connectivity. Over the years, improvements in infrastructure, Chandigarh international
airport, the creation of parks and open spaces, and a stable law and order situation have aided
Mohali in becoming an autonomous town. It has grown into a significant commercial and
institutional centre, with regional offices of enterprises and organisations serving several
states. It has also become a popular investment location for both Indian and global
companies.
3. Discuss the context of your thesis. In what ways is your project situated in and
influenced by the culture in which we live?
According to data, Chandigarh has seen a 25% rise in tourist footfall in recent months.
According to reports, 31549 international visitors visited Chandigarh in 2016 and 39681 in
 2018. On the other hand, in 2016, 11.8 lakh Indian visitors visited Chandigarh, which grew
to 15.4 lakh in 2018.
In Chandigarh, the hotel industry's occupancy rate has increased significantly. Throughout
the year, the average yearly occupancy rate in the budget and mid-market segments is about
75 percent, while in the luxury category it is around 60–65 percent. Whereas now, the luxury
sector of hotels has an occupancy rate of around 90%. Which confirms the need of luxurious
hotel in upcoming years.
