Since I was talking about urban infra and planning, here's some random city in literal Congo.

These are some more




Although, yes most of their capital/country looks like this...

But, it's GDP per capita (as what their government claims) is around $700. Less than Bihar. But in reality, it's per capita electricity consumption is more than a dozen times less than India per capita, and a quarter of Bihar. Indicating that it is an extremely poor country with agriculture as main source of economic activity. Even in agriculture their output of various agro commodities is far lower than India per capita.

By the way these are much older numbers, our output volume has increased by a lot since these were published.

Now, this isn't supposed to shame them or mock them, but rather appreciate how they built better urban infra than much of India given their conditions. Although much of Congo's cities look pretty rural, that is expected due to very low population density and economic prosperity.

This is literally how entirety of Bihar looks like.

May I ask where would you live, Bihar or Congo based on the visible difference?

Large portion of Indian cities look similar, just slightly better than above.


Meanwhile capital of Philippines, country that is slightly poorer than India.

Seriously though, what exactly is wrong with us? This is embarrassing.

Before and After, Pune suburbs. Look at the difference. The "before" looks like typical Indian streets, but with pavements, they look how cities are actually supposed to look. Only blackpill it, this will not be done nationwide or maybe even citywide except few areas as showpiece.

Interesting how even the most basic improvements can make our cities not look like literal fourth world. Just paving the roads until the edge along with footpaths eliminates that dusty war torn country look.

We don't have urban planning at all. Seeing through the naked eye in Bangalore, how the ORR region has developed over the last 3 decades. Roads ending in front of a society that could have been used to connect major roads, lack of ring roads, and footpaths to name a few. Each of these things only needed planning to develop, not even money!

Sadly the natural entropy in indians (genetically) seems to be filthy. Indians can't withstand cleanliness at all, so expect the above to return to its natural state in 2 years. No other 3rd world country is this way. When their shitty streets get paved/redeveloped, they tend to stay in the new state with some grime etc, but nothing like this
