Infrastructure

[shuturmurg]

Any Gujju's here ? Saw a video of GIFT city, looks like there is no footpath. Is that correct ?

Very important part of infrastructure is hygiene and sanitation. India is severely lacking in this department. Any word on this? Landfills? Anything? Cleaning toilets and washrooms? Water recycling? Anything? Sewage? Septic?

Its easy to do in some other's Natives land that's virtually unaltered or when some country is too homogeneous.

What word salad nonsense is this? You enjoy looking at trash in your back yard or holy sites?

The Taj Mahal is being visited by Lakhs of People every year. The Tajmahal and its surrounding area looks clean with that parks and other monuments. The moment outside it is basically a shithole which is super ugly and it never redeveloped.

In the name of facelift few of the contractors done this.





Basically putting an lipstick on a dirty pig and call it a day.

Urban planning in India needs a massive push. Things like waste management, water pipelines, electricity supplies, footpath, parks, sports area needs to be done.

For an country which build some of the most complex architectures today struggle to build even some simple things.

This is what happens around the world. Countries cleanup the areas around places of important. Just add aesthetic lighting and this area will look 10 times better.

I visited old quarters in Shanghai with similar street as Chandani Chauk in Delhi - cramped and small shops. They did same things as pics above, cleaned up streets, pukka walking paths, denting-penting of the shops and put latest billboards with aesthetics lighting and Bingo a Modern Historical place in city visited by lakhs of people.

Half of the change is the people themselves, even if we clean up the things our locals make is look 100 times worse. They park vehicles anywhere they like, not in any order, spit everywhere, stand in middle of road and talk loudly on phones holding traffic, no lane discipline, littering everywhere.​

Gobi has build a lot of public toilets everywhere + there seems to be small garbage trucks( size of a 4 wheel tempo ) to pickup the trash throughout the day.
Most of this "throughout the day" thrash is generated by your average handcart streetfood seller

these days redevelopment projects are no longer bits and pieces, there would a comprehensive project plan with local bodies having a say in it.

it's tempting to limit our opinions on info tidbits what ever social media gives traction to. bring in the rest of the information as well like scope, scale, cost, phases and projects taken up etc.

last year, when we were discussing ayodhya redevelopment. from the pics what looked like just a 30 ft road relaid in some gulli. it was costing more than 1.5 crore per km because of underground sewage and utility lines etc. this kind of info we can get only when we dig into tender data beyond superficial info a pic can provide.

Frankly much of the trash that I saw seemed to be there for quite a while, not freshly thrown. You can tell by the way parts of it has degraded. It was disgusting. This was in Uttarakhand btw. Public toilet sanitation was... well... it was pretty bad. Little-to-no maintenance and just extremely foul smelling

We are used to living in filth.
People want cleanliness but they have no means to dispose their garbage.
Walk on a street you won't find a single dustbin unless it's a area with eaterys. What are people supposed to do in this situation? They throw the garbage in any space that does not belong to any indi individual. Often under lamp post, drainage, building corners or building back side area.

I agree. I noticed the dearth of dustbins in many places. But I also noticed that people with dustbin access would rather throw their trash onto the street (this was at Gangotri of all places!). It's a dual-faced problem. The dustbins were also quite full and emptied maybe once per day. Government really needs to step up and that's my complaint. Infrastructure isn't just roads, it's sanitation too.
