Conclusion • Promenade architecturale is a myth, not a reality, in Chandigarh • Redundancy and fragmentation are dominant themes • Differentiations obtain in Brasilia, despite its “baroqueism” • Chandigarh is highly redundant at the global level • Brasilia is highly informative at the global level • Fissures of order happen in Chandigarh at the local level • Fissuresof disorder happen in Brasilia at the local level
