Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Le Corbusier, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, proposed a vision for a contemporary city that could accommodate a population of 3 million people. This vision was laid out in his plan for the "Ville Radieuse" (Radiant City).
The Ville Radieuse was designed to be a model city with efficient traffic flow, abundant green spaces, and high-rise buildings to house a large population. The plan was never fully realized, but it significantly influenced modern urban planning.
Le Corbusier's approach to urban design sought to address the problems of overcrowding and inefficiency in cities by using zoning, skyscrapers, and green spaces to create a more livable and organized city.
