[@earthling017]

I agree about lack of civic sense, however these same people observe the civic laws with utmost sincerity when they go to other countries. It's the combination of availability of infrastructure, awareness of cleanliness and threat of fines/action that allow people to follow the rules. For example, in Dubai, there are dustbins every few meters. These dustbins themselves are regularly emptied and maintained in a clean way. With such a level of availability, it becomes very easy to ensure that any rubbish is always discarded in dustbins. Plus there's the constant threat of heavy fines if someone is found littering or spitting in public places.

Of course this is a negative video, we are talking about a poor country that just recently starting to become self sufficient. Funny she compares with South Africa and Brazil. Brazil had higher GDP than India less that two decades ago, now India has double the GDP. While India is the fastest growing major economy in the world South Africa is falling back to become a third world country. Well, at least it's not CCP paid propaganda. Talk about China, their cities are full of suddenly imploding roads due to bad quality. Their highest buildings are unsafe to use so they are largely empty. Parts of their buildings fall on the street with strong winds. Currently another huge flooding problem in China that is much worse than India because dams release water without warning, so you can have meters of flooding within ten minutes. So for all the bad publicity, India is doing relatively better than China, just have some patience.

So just imagine - a term last for 5 years but whole 6 years void of elections. As a result it's now also void of waste management, public hygiene & sanitation services, one of nation's worst sewerage, garbage capital of East India . Illegal construction & ecological sensitivity destruction & syndicate everywhere which was even accepted by our CM!🤦 And was one of dirtiest cities of India.

[@amu_meh]

As an urban planner, I really appreciate the fact that our cities are finally becoming a topic of discussion by online creators (which I hope it trickles down in the physical world). But this topic is so vast and complex that it deserves a series of its own. While I agree with a lot of points raised in the video, I do not agree with the modernist approach that is still used as a reference by Indians. For example, it has been widely studies that treating cities like machines and separating their uses only lead to longer travel time and a car-centric development (look at northern American cities). In fact, there is something called the 3Ds of urbanism that is considered a good practice today: Density, Diversity and Design. Similarly, it is time we stop obsessing over Le Corbusier and his plan of Chandigarh. Check out how his proposals to redesign Paris were kicked off by the French! For Chandigarh, he came out of nowhere, had no idea of Indian culture and context and just imposed his plan. City planning is a continuous process that should be democratic and decentralized! In the end, I really think the key is to make urban planning a political topic. It’s crazy how our bad air, water and overall built environment is not at all discussed in our local elections.

[@ashishy]

You're right, we should focus on dense, walkable, mixed-use development. Chandigarh is the opposite, and it's frustrating that its design has been idealized, leading to the creation of large, unwalkable "Sectors" around Delhi NCR . However to differ a bit, I think city planning should blend centralized and decentralized approaches ie it should be mixed. The center should set the overall framework and regulations, but local governments should implement these plans, considering local contexts and public participation and input. For example, zoning and land use categories along with accosiated fsi/far framework should be standardised nationally, but local governments should have the power to designate specific areas according to those guidlines. Japan does it that way, and it seems to work. Another example could be universal design codes. You are an urban planner in India, which I think is rare, people like you are our only hope! 😄

[@amu_meh]

@@ashishy I'll be surprised if your are not a city planner (or a well read architect) yourself! I do second that, planning should infact be iterative and a mix of bottom-up and top-down approach. Our neighbourhoods inherently were quite walkable places, but a lot has been lost after the post 90s automobile boom..

Lack of Civil sense Most imp problem

[@tamilstoic]

I am no expert on urban design, but as someone living in Europe, I see that there are other good street patterns apart from grid. Instead, most cities have a ring pattern, which is divided into sectors where people can find their basic amenities within walking distances. This is something that I have seen only in Chandigarh, even though it has a grid pattern. Also, almost every European city I have been to has a park, waterway, or some element of nature at a walkable distance. Apart from patterns, there are a lot of other elements that are well planned and executed here, for instance, flow of traffic - one way streets which allow two way traffic only for bicycles. Or take this - Low Emission Zone (LEZ) restriction implemented in many important cities, which prohibit the entry of vehicles below a certain emission class. If those people still want to enter the city, they can either pay a fee, or park their vehicles outside the city and take public bicycles to go inside the city. These can be taken and dropped off at bike stations that are maintained by the city and paid by subscribers. Measures like this encourages the use of bicycles instead of other polluting means of transport. This is not meant as a way to beatdown Indian cities, but a call to draw inspiration and make our cities better. I understand that India faces a problem of scale, corruption, and a lot more. But if we can achieve impossible feats like sending a probe into the dark side of the moon with a budget that is a fraction of what countries spend on similar projects (and still fail), can't we solve the issues of our cities?

[@anujsinghrajput8287]

For anyone who wants an even deeper understanding of these things, get in touch with an architect/landscape architect/urban designer/planner. I can speak from the perspective of an architect since I am one myself a lot of which you presented in the video, we get to learn in our college studies. There are multiple ways to approach city planning and each development has numerous layers of different types of professions and perspectives involved. There are a lot of complexities and intricacies involved which are left behind due to the rapid developments we are seeing and the partial fault of the people involved. If you delve even deeper into the topic you will find more issues to discuss and present. A good video nonetheless.

There is huge difference between test taking and actual implementation of that knowledge successfully on the ground. I do agree if compensation was competitive many could go that route, but difference between India and Developed countries like Singapore, US, Can, New Zealand, Germany etc..is that young ppl WANT to be in these type of jobs...not just for money but for doing the right thing. Even in those countries, these are typically not highly paid jobs...but there is a natural interest in doing these jobs with decent income but. huge impact on the civilization. In India... ppl are just not interested in anything useful and if someone is...they dont make any money and corruption sets it. Its a vicious cycle.

@@ayushnews5735 correctly said. Thats why look at how almost all infra projects are given to basically the same 2-5 companies...you know which companies im talking about.

Chandigarh is also a good example of how Indian cities could be planned. It has markets in every sector, grid pattern roads, no residential house has more than 3 floors. Everyone follows traffic rules because there are speed cams and other cameras installed which captures you and challan is issued instantly if you jump zebra crossings, if you over speed or jump lights. Separate cycle tracks are there and proper infrastructure for hiring e bikes. Good public and private infrastructure.

I take the Cubbon Park whenever I have an opportunity and honestly every road in the UK is on par with that. Also citizen driven organizations like National Trust that takes care of a large portion of green spaces is also important. The story of why National Trust was started is also very noble.

Today, we may have bad infrastructure, but no problem, we will slowly and steadily improve. 3) We Indians are not systematic; our ancestors were, but now we have become very lazy.

1/ Over 85% Chinese own their property. 2/ China's constitution states that NO GOVERNMENT or PRIVATE COMPANY can forcefully evict land owners from their house. So what happens if government wants to built a motorway leading to land acquisition from land owners ? Answer : They offer land owners way above market price, but you do get some greedy landowners that wants 4 or 7 times the market price so they refuse the offer. The state own or private construction companies will just advise them that they will built the motorway around or next to their house. That's why you see online in China pictures of motor ways built next to or around people's house, those greedy land owners will eventually agree to the offer because who would want to live next to a motorway with all that noise. 3/ Here in Australia, if the state government wants to built a motorway and needs land acquisition from land owners, they will offer to buy their properties at market prices. Land owners that refused to sell will be given a set date to vacate their properties, if they fail to vacate the property on the set date given they will be evicted by law enforcement officers and charge to appear in court.
