When politicians eat up a majority chunk of the infrastructure project budget, then you don't have enough money to build quality infra, as a result, we have sub-par infrastructure.

政客们吞掉了基础设施项目预算的大部分，就没有足够的资金来建设高质量的基础设施，造成我们的基础设施落后

Every City Can be Nice in India but people lack civic sense. People freely urinate in open, Throw Trash in Water Bodies, Defacate on Railway Lines, Throws the Waste Unsegregated. This is a HUGE Problem in India. People blame Population but Hong Kong and Singapore have one of the highest population density in the world and yet those cities are one of the cleanest. People blame poverty but Poverty doesnt give you license to Litter around and Defacate in Open. The Attitude of Indian People must change. This civic sense should be taught in schools from a young age. Trash Segregation should be taught in Environmental Studies Subject

印度的每个城市都可以很好，但人们缺乏公民意识，露天随地大小便，往水体里乱扔垃圾，往铁路上乱扔垃圾。

这是印度的一个大问题。大家说我们人口多，但香港和新加坡是世界上人口密度最高的城市之一，这些城市也是最干净的城市之一。人们怪贫穷，但不是说穷就可以在公共场所乱扔垃圾，随地方便的。

印度人的态度必须改变。这种公民意识应该从小就在学校里培养，应该在环境研究课程中教垃圾分类。

City doesn’t have to look like that, a city should clean, organized, traffic should flow, storm drainage and no distractions. The most important ingredient is people with civic sense which we don’t have.

一个城市应该干净，有组织，交通应该通畅，排水要做到位。最重要的是公民要有素质，我们的公民没有。

Mumbai having little bit flood at the same time this video is airing, makes the timing perfect!

好巧不巧的，在看这个视频时，孟买发了洪水

A small suggestion: There are munipal swepers and cleaners all around our cities deployed. They must be trained and given little power and ownership of a particular area they must take care of in cleaning and beautification in a small extent. Also to get the municipality attention on the issues.

一个小小的建议：部署市政清洁工，他们必须接受培训，划分责任区，负责区域的清洁和美化。这也是为了引起市政当局的注意。

why because if it costs 100 Rs to build they'll charge 500 Rs & still put low quality lobour & materials because who's there to keep a check on them? ofcourse this had to happen

为什么？假如造价100卢比，他们会收500卢比，而且仍然使用低质量的劳动力和材料，谁来监督他们？

an ideal city for me is a city that is made for the people to comfortably live, the space is green and clean with proper drainage system, water harvesting system and sustainable sources of electricity generation. a city where in the citizen can simply walk or bike to places rather than using vehicles fueled by non renewable fuels  and also has well developed public transport!

And, is safe.

(so, basically a mixture of Singapore and Germany )

对我来说，理想的城市是人们可以舒适生活的城市，绿色，干净，有完善的排水系统，集水系统和可持续的发电来源。

一个市民可以步行或骑自行车去出行，不一定非要开车，而且公共交通也很发达、安全。(基本上是新加坡和德国的混合体)

India’s system is all crroupt from basic level workers to top tier officers. For instance im from a small town and town got 2cr. grant from government but all muncipal members take it a bribe and used only 20 lacs on infrastructure….20/200lacs …same on our system

印度的制度从基层工人到高层官员都很糟糕。例如，一个小镇拿到2000万卢比政府拨款，但所有市政成员都贪污了，修建基础设施只用了20万卢比。

First we indian need to develop civic sense

首先，我们印度人应该培养公民意识

In varanasi also they gave free dustbins to everyone. 1 for dry waste and 2nd for wet waste.

Almost all of them used those dustbins to plant some plants and throw wastes on the road.

Even tho the garbage dump truck or van comes daily.

在瓦拉纳西，他们也给每个人免费提供垃圾箱，1个用于收集干垃圾，1个用于收集湿垃圾。几乎所有的人都用这些垃圾箱种植物，把垃圾扔在路上。

即使垃圾车每天都会来收垃圾。

Let's hope Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh's capital, learn something from this.

希望安得拉邦首府阿玛拉瓦蒂能从中吸取教训。

Corruption is in the blood of Indians. No political party, IAS, IPS etc can solve this problem.

腐败存在印度人的血液里。没有政党能解决这个问题。

In our Howrah Municipal Corporation of West Bengal, last elections were held in 2013. It's term expired in 2018. So it's next term was supposed to be held in 2018 but it wasn't in last 6 years. 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.

But we know even if elections are held nothing will change because they will be in only name- we couldn't cast our own vote but it'll be ballot rigged by booth capturings by local strongmen and goons & mafias of the state ruling party.

我们西孟加拉邦豪拉的市政公司，上一次选举是在2013年举行的，任期于2018年到期。之后一届任期是2018年举行的，2018年已经过去6年了，仍然没有举行。

想象一下，一个任期持续5年，但整整6年没有选举。现在也没有废物管理，公共卫生服务，下水道是全国最糟糕的之一，是东印度的垃圾之都。

到处都是非法建筑，破坏生态，到处都是辛迪加，甚至我们的部长也接受了！豪拉也是印度最脏的城市之一。

但我们知道，即使举行选举，也不会有什么改变，因为只是名义上的——我们投票也没用，会被地方权贵、暴徒和执政的黑手党操纵选票。

Public transportation is really important for a city as it lowers traffic. The problem is that in some cities buses look cheap and downgraded. So, only lower class ppl use them while middle class and upper middle class use vehicles leading to more air pollution as well as traffic congestion.

城市公共交通非常重要，能降低交通流量。问题在于，在一些城市，公交车看起来很廉价，档次也很低。所以，只有下层阶级的人坐公交车，而中产阶级和中上层阶级一般开车，造成严重的空气污染和交通拥堵。

I started my career in Delhi thinking there is hope when I was 22. Today I am 44, and let me tell you things have gone from bad to worse. There is zero accountability with the thousands of ppl in state and central govt, and life here is horrible. The story is same in each and every city of India. This you realise when you see how the rest of the world lives.

22岁时，我在德里开始了职业生涯，当时我认为这里有希望。今天我44岁了，我告诉你们，事情变得越来越糟了。邦政府和中央政府没有问责制，这里的生活很糟糕。印度每个城市的情况都一样。对比其他国家的生活方式，你会懊恼的。

yjvyas

I mean... Indians literally INVENTED the grid pattern, urban sanitation, and high-level urban planning. The fact that we can't do it better than our ancestors 5000 years ago is appalling.

印度人发明了网格模式、城市卫生设施和高级城市规划。我们做得没有5000年前的老祖宗更好，这一事实令人震惊。

ibacstudio

I dont understand why none of the videos on indian cities use hyderabad in any of their case studies or examples. There are definitely a lot of things to learn from hyderabad too.

我不明白为什么没有一个关于印度城市的案例研究中用海德拉巴。海得拉巴也有很多值得学习的地方。

its crazy how most of us viewers know more than actual lawmakers. I bet that a random viewer will perform better than politicians.

我们大多数观众知道的比立法者还多，真是太疯狂了。我敢打赌随便一个观众都会比政客做得更好。

I live in Bangalore and i travel just 13km to work and it takes me 2 nd half hour

我住在班加罗尔，离公司仅13公里，去上班要花两个半小时

madarauchiha7765

Central Bangalore is messed up because it was planned almost 2 decades ago. Currently there is good planning and development of infrastructure going on towards North Bangalore, Airport road.

In fact there is a new and much bigger business park than Manyata opening next to KIA.

班加罗尔市中心混乱不堪，它是在近20年前规划的。目前，班加罗尔北部机场道路的基础设施正在进行良好的规划和建设。

事实上，在KIA旁边有一个比Manyata大得多的新商业园区。

most important china, japan build their houses according to their traditional architecture, and we Indians build our houses in Western style, take any city of China, you will see all their traditional things, culture, they maintained a perfect balance of both traditional and modern.

最重要的是，中国，日本建造自己传统风格的房子，而我们印度人建造西方风格的房子，去中国的任何一个城市，你都会看到他们的传统和文化，他们保持了传统和现代的完美平衡。

Jugglervlogs1o1

Another great example of careful planning and development of an Indian city by Govt. is Gandhinagar.

Great city to work and live in.

印度政府精心规划和建设城市的一个好例子是甘地纳格尔。

这是一个非常适合工作和生活的城市。

ASK2nine

Wouldn’t harm to learn about how Hyderabad solved its water problem and waste management issues.

不妨学习一下海德拉巴是如何解决水问题和垃圾管理问题的。

The real problems are with people in India.

真正的问题在于印度人。

sudhanshututi

Political will is the biggest hurdle. Take example of Amaravati, the city whose masterplan was build by Norman + Partners. Investment offered by World Bank. Singapore as mentor.

政治意愿是最大的障碍。以阿玛拉瓦蒂为例，这座城市的总体规划是由诺曼建筑事务所(Norman + Partners)设计的。世界银行提供投资，新加坡作为导师。

og5145

Blaming people is not gonna solve the problem. Because people lack civic sense but they are not aware of that. The government should spend money on spreading public awareness about these things. Im pretty sure it will work.

责备人民并不能解决问题。人们缺乏公民意识，他们没有意识到这一点。政府应该采取行动。

Fresh air and trees are much more important than building a modern city

新鲜空气和树木比建设现代化城市重要得多

varunjha6004

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. Now they have an IT park as well in both Chandigarh and Mohali so it has got everything

昌迪加尔也是印度城市规划的一个好例子，网格状的道路，没有超过3层的住宅。每个人都遵守交通规则，安装了测速摄像头和其他摄像头，如果你闯斑马线，超速或闯红灯，就会立即收到罚单。那里有独立的自行车道和完善的基础设施，方便租用电动自行车，有良好的公共和私人基础设施。

jimbrutan_senior

A lot of bureaucracy and politics or say corruption in India cannot allow these plans to be implemented effectively & sustainably.

印度的官僚主义和政治或者说腐败使这些计划无法有效和可持续地实施。
