[edit] I would merely like to point out...
that some of the earliest planned cities in the world were established in India many, many centuries before the modern age. To suggest Jaipur, founded in the eighteenth century, as the first sits very poorly with me, and ill befits the august nature of this, our little project. Does the word Harappan mean anything to anyone? I merely suggest that perhaps it should be changed to better reflect historical reality. -user Bordergroves
Bordergroves you have misunderstood the line. What the line "'that some of the earliest planned cities in the world'" means that Jaipur is the earliest one which incorporates modern principles of city architecture. ==
[edit] Introductory paragraphy
a majority of the openning paragraph is taken word-for-word from the website www.pinkcity.net, from its disclaimer at the bottom of the homepage. the site looks official-ish, and if it's going to be directly copied, it might as well have been listed under "External Links" (unless the copying was done without permission, then it should be removed/re-worded). and it's this site's disclaimer that mentions Jaipur as the first planned city in India (as discussed in the previous comment). that statement doesnt sit well with me either, but if we're going to take it up with somebody, it might as well be with the site where the info was copied from in the first place.
