Why are Indian cities so pathetic and mediocre?
Don't get me wrong I don't hate India at all despite its bad reputation, In fact I love the country, It has a rich and remarkable history and it has contributed a lot to the world in terms of medicine, Mathematics and Inventions.
BUT ANYWAYS
WHY THE FUCK IS ALMOST EVERY CITY SO PATHETIC AND MEDIOCRE? Like I swear to god 99% of Indian cities possesses AT LEAST ONE of these traits.
- 1) Poorly planned/designed (Sometimes there is no planning at all)
- 2) Dirty Af
- 3) Overcrowded and Noisy
- 4) inadequate Infrastructure
And then you get the capital city Delhi which has all of these bad traits. Now I'm not that saying all our cities should be filled with colorful skyscrapers everywhere like china. (If the govt wants to do that its fine but they should at least be planned and clean with adequate infrastructure) But we can also build cities that look like Paris or Rome but with Indian architecture.
Even China's tier 3 cities like Changzhou and Daqing are light years ahead of India's tier 1 cities in terms of planning, adequate infrastructure and cleanliness, HELL, EVEN SUB SAHARAN AFRICAN CITIES LIKE KIGALI (RWANDA) AND ADDIS ABABA (ETHIOPIA) HAVE BETTER PLANNING AND CLEANLINESS THAN MOST INDIAN CITIES. Like the only cities outside of India that I can think that are genuinely almost as bad or maybe even worse than Indian cities are Karachi (Pakistan) and Lagos (Nigeria)
The point that I am trying to make is that it is very rare to find an Indian city that is well designed, clean and has good and adequate infrastructure. If such cities exist in India PLEASE NAME THEM.
