Chandigarh, the new capital of Punjab in India was conceived a bit earlier. Nehru wanted the flame of modernism burning and asked Le Corbusier to take over Town Planning/Architect's role from American Albert Mayer. Corbusier predictably applied CIAM principles and divided the city in sectors, not unlike Islamabad. Fry and Drew, the British veteran architects did some housing with one of Corb's relations.
Apart from hearing that Chandigarh suffers from much less pollution, jury seems to be still out about the success or otherwise of the townplan.

We track flags by user on Metafilter -- when someone has a comment or post that is flagged, it goes into a db table that we keep around for posterity, and on the per-user admin pages the site generates for us we can see those flags in reverse chronological order, as well as a graph summing up the last year or so of flagging activity directed at that user's content.
This is where I've been flagged over the last year, in graph form, as well the beginning of the canonical list of flags. (You can see that I've been flagged a total of 402 times in the 10+ years I've been on the site, which is a pretty solid stack in fact, but I'm also an extremely active user and, as a mod, unusually visible.)
I've blurred the names of the folks doing the flagging, but you can see that each line item tells us what sort of content it was, what the db id is, what the flag was, and who flagged. The widgets off to the right can be used to manage flag visibility on the admin flag management screens but we rarely use them on this screen specifically.

A photograph of administrative department who raised money for a television for Carrs Lane Home.
It was decided in 1952 by the Administration Group that in order to commemorate the coronation; the department would raise money and buy a television. An appeal for 100 guineas was launched and a barometer was set up in the office. The fundraising proved a great success and by April 1953 115 guineas had been donated. The television (along with the first years licence and 5 years free maintenance) was presented to the residents of the Carrs Lane Home.
