India's exploding population: Infrastructure under strain in Mumbai

印度爆炸式增长的人口：孟买基础设施紧张

According to a UN forecast, India will overtake China as the world's most populous country this Friday, with more than 1.4 billion inhabitants. Large Indian cities like Mumbai are already saturated. More than 20 million people live in the country's economic capital, in an area barely six times larger than central Paris. Mumbai is the victim of excessive urbanisation, with rents soaring and wealth gaps widening between the upper classes and poorer residents, especially those living in slums.

根据联合国的预测，本周五印度将超过中国，成为世界上人口最多的国家，人口超过14亿。像孟买这样的印度大城市已经饱和了。超过2000万人口居住在印度的经济首都，其面积仅为巴黎市中心的六倍。孟买是过度城市化的受害者，租金飙升，上层阶级和较贫困居民，尤其是那些住在贫民窟的居民，之间的贫富差距不断扩大。

以下是印度网友的评论：

1. India's population growth rate is already decreasing.

2. Massive infrastructure development is already happening, whether it's road, train or air or waterways.

1. 印度的人口增长率已经在下降。

2. 大规模的基础设施建设已经在进行，无论是公路、火车、航空还是水路。

Government is working on many infrastructure and development projects which will transform India in next couple of decades. Its a long journey but steps in the right direction.

政府正在致力于基础设施建设和发展项目，这些项目将在未来几十年改变印度。这是一个漫长的旅程，但正在朝着正确的方向前进。

That’s why ring road construction is happening in Mumbai. Never saw a positive reporting on India. Well done! It always encourages us to aim higher, what we need to do better and cheaper.

所以孟买正在修建环路。从未见过关于印度的正面报道，但这总是鼓励我们把目标定得更高，我们需要做得更好，以更低的成本。

This is misleading. Mumbai has less density than more than 3 cities in France.

这是误导人啊。孟买的人口密度比法国的3个城市还低。

Downtown Mumbai has a lot of one story buildings for some reason. The rest are mostly 2-4 story buildings, which is strange in a city that's so densely population. I know these are old buildings, but in those days they should've followed the Paris or Barcelona model of "gentle density" and built their buildings with 7 floors.

出于某种原因，孟买市中心有很多单层建筑。其余的大多是2-4层的建筑，这在一个人口如此密集的城市里很奇怪。我知道这些都是老建筑，但在那个年代，他们应该效仿巴黎或巴塞罗那的“温和密度”模式，建造7层的建筑。

Even Singapore & Hong Kong had huge slums in the 60s & 70s. Mumbai is on the right path , but it may take another 15-20 years to catch up.

即使是新加坡和香港在60年代和70年代也有很大片的贫民窟。孟买走在正确的道路上，但可能还需要15-20年才能赶上别人。

Shift many offices to other cities... Pune or Navi Mumbai ... Also some to Ahmedabad, some to Nagpur or any other smaller city. 30 million if you consider all 8 municipal corporations together abutting Mumbai.

把一些办公室搬到其他城市去，普纳或者新孟买，还有一些去艾哈迈达巴德，一些去那格浦尔或其他小城市。如果把孟买附近的8个市政公司加在一起算的话，就有3000万。

Population explosion already happened in India. Almost all the tier 1 & tier 2  cities are full of population. There is no basic standard of living in these cities. Delhi and Mumbai along with Ahmedabad Bengaluru Hyderabad and kolkata are like worst cities among the world. No life in these metropolitan cities coz of huge population. All cities have more than +10 M population and Delhi and Mumbai have may be 2.5 to 30M population each...

God know in which direction India going on.

Note:- Present Modi Government really doing great job.

印度已经发生了人口爆炸。几乎所有的一线和二线城市人满为患。这些城市基本的生活标准都达不到。德里、孟买、艾哈迈达巴德、班加罗尔、海德拉巴和加尔各答属于世界上最糟糕的城市之流。由于人口众多，这些大都市的生活水平都很低。所有城市的人口都超过1000万，德里和孟买的人口可能各有2500万到3000万。天知道印度会往哪个方向发展。不过现在的莫迪政府确实做得很好。
