Neighbourhood concept of sector-48 Chandigarh

Chandigarh Sector 48 is a locality in Chandigarh City in
Chandigarh State, India. It is home to 23 societies with
2,433 apartments spread over three floors. It also has
the biggest motor market in Chandigarh with over 400
shops
In a sense, Sector 48 signified the end of Corbusier’s
Chandigarh and the beginning of a Metro Age. Eager to Hospital
make room for the ever-increasing population of the city,
The first sector to be built in the third phase of Chandigarh’s development, it
heralded a new way of life in a city that had so far mainly seen horizontal
development. Sector 48 was vertical. It had no room for independent houses, for it
favoured apartments. It turned its back on an insular neighbourhood, long reviled
for being cold and unfriendly, and embraced community living.

Peace and security are the twin characteristics of the sector.
All the societies have at least four security cameras working
24x7 and the police patrol is regular and vigilant. This is the
safest sector in Chandigarh.
Sector 49 police station lodged in the sector, makes it even
safer.
High on safety, the sector may fall a little short on shopping
as it has just one market with 22 shops to cater to the daily
needs of the people. With three ATMs, a salon, a stationary
shop, two eating joints a few departmental stores and
chemist shops, it certainly falls short of variety. a resident of
AOT Complex and owner of a very temperamental
dachshund, doesn’t feel the sector is lacking in this
department. “Peace is the most important thing; you don’t
get disturbed by honking. Parking isn’t an issue and we have
all the facilities in adjoining sectors,”
