Corbusier took elements from both these traditions. He was a charismatic and forceful personality, an “(a)ll powerful master planner who would demolish an entire existing city and replace it by a city of high-rise towers in a park.” (Peter Fitting)

Corbusier, as Charles Correa has pointed out, created a new visual language.  

At the same time he took elements from both the Garden City Movement and the Monumental tradition. The Garden City approach gave the plan its anti-urban bias. The neighbourhood concept was applied because it was said that Indians were villagers at heart. The plan was supposed to combine the best of city and country living.
