India’s $2.7 Billion Capital Project Explained

As a planner from India, I do not agree with some of the comments down here. Sure there are people who are corrupt and eat up a lot of money while building apartment complexes and public facilities. But do you realise that keeping them in a good condition is who's responsibility? Spitting gutkha, urination at public spaces, breaking and vandalising public infrastructure is what people have been doing, which makes the government spend unnecessary funds for upkeep and maintenance. Also 'quality town planning' according to one oof the comments would have been already done if there was enough resources, and also if it was THAT easy to do! The nature of how India functions is very informal, based on which informality there are a HUGE amount of people who thrive; jinke pet depend karte hain iss informality pe. "Quality town planning' will remove vendors, cycle-rickshaw wallahs, that raddi-wala on your corner, the paan ka tapri where you buy your cigarettes, that boot polish person near your office. WHO WILL FEED THEM? Also: note that not everything that comes from the west is always nice and desirable. DECOLONIZE YOUR MIND please: written in English to convey my thoughts: can't write in all 22 official ones (yet).
