Because Sector 17 is a non-residential commercial zone, it does not have a traditional list of native residents. However, its identity is deeply tied to its creators:
* **Le Corbusier:** The Swiss-French architect who master-planned Chandigarh and personally designed the core brutalist aesthetics, pedestrian layouts, and commercial blocks of Sector 17. * **Pierre Jeanneret:** Corbusier's cousin and collaborator, who heavily influenced the civic architecture and urban furniture found throughout the sector.
