Why Indian Cities Dont Have a Grid || भारतीय शहरों में ग्रिड क्यों नहीं है ?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- In this video, we explore why Indian cities lack a grid layout, diving into the historical, cultural, and practical reasons behind these unique urban designs. Unlike Western cities that follow a structured grid, Indian cities evolved under different influences-ancient planning like in Jaipur, colonial transformations, and rapid urbanization. We discuss how high population density, existing infrastructure, and local geography make it challenging to implement grid-based layouts, along with the impact of rapid growth that often outpaces planning efforts. We’ll also highlight ongoing developments in urban planning and Smart City projects aimed at enhancing India’s infrastructure. Watch till the end to understand why a grid system might not be the best fit for Indian cities! #IndianCities #UrbanPlanning #Infrastructure #CityGrid #SmartCities #IndiaGrowth #Urbanization #CityDesign #UrbanDevelopment #IndiaInfrastructure #CityLayout

ENCROACHMENT, poor plaaning, corruption. I live in Jaipur which is Griddier than Most cities and i still feel we could do more
I think Europe is a new continent 😅
Not new but destroy and developed as green field cities after Getting modern techniques which India and Old civilisations like CHina and southeast asia lacks@@ReepuShudan
Chandigarh city in Northern India💀
@@jhakumarmrinal2727 yes Chandigarh and Panchkula are one of my favourites in India. Great weather, lush green, very clean, well planned and so close to so many hill stations!
@@DocPrakhar yes I have there been in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar and Ambala I didn't fell for SAS Nagar but Ambala really impressed me actually less density more less problem!
Irony is that Indus valley civilization first had grid pattern cities in the world.

Chandigarh has a grid system and is one of the best-planned cities in India (IMO) , though there is currently a big traffic problem during peak hours.
I saw its pretty good but sector 45 looks bad
Also gandhinagar
Planned by Britishers
Naya Raipur is also Good
It is Planned & Sustainable City
@@y.u.v.i Also Tatanagar is also well planned.
Rourkela Odisha.....one of the good planned city in India 🙂

unplanned cities like european cities japanese cities are also well developed even after not having grid. so having grid or not is not a big problem.
European cities have Radial design, Japan also follows Grid patten.
They dont have that much population density like indian cities.

Indian cities are just villages with flyovers.
Post independence we haven't created a single independent(not planned suburban extensions like noida or navi Mumbai) planned city with great economic output. And before you guys say anything chandigarh is just a retirement hotspot not a economic hub like mumbai.
India should give up on romanticism of villages and handover city streets maintainence to private bodies, increase fsi and enforce emergency era laws for world class cities.
Africa got better cities than ours
navi mumbai and noida are different cities they are not part of delhi and mumbai
Kuch government toh kam hi nahi korta just like our state government. Metro, highway, undesign flyover , Raillines bohut hua ab government ko Indian cities ke upor focus karna chahiye, high quality roads, footpath, cleanness, building ke upor
@@riderchallenge4250 they are an urban extension of Mumbai/Delhi with majority of economic output dependent from their host cities (Delhi and Mumbai).
They are just glorified suburbs nothing else where people stay and go to work to host cities.
I'm talking about complete seperate Greenfield cities like how AP state have recently undertook amravathi
@@ChinmoyMandal-pj7eb give cities more independence from state control and remove l1 tendering. That will solve most of road issues.
@@JoGoat20 humhare yeah kolkata pe state government pichle 10 saal se kuch bhi nahi kiya. Nh far better than before but our city roads disgusting, no sidewalk ,no cleanness, poor quality undesign flyover
Government departments focused on planning should prioritize hiring individuals with educational background in planning. These professionals are already knowledgeable about planning history, issues, and concepts, enabling them to make better decisions for our cities and address urban challenges in a more organic way.

Its never about the Grid, Its the poor planning of the cities and lack of a central commitee on how to develop various parts of India via different type of planning for different terrains, also mixed used, grid with a radial type of planning with transits in mind is better for any cities, tokyo is deveoloped this way.
A significant reason for the difference in development is that America gained its independence many years earlier than India. While America was progressing rapidly, India was engaged in a struggle for independence, and the British colonial rulers showed little regard for India's development, focusing instead on exploitation. After gaining independence, India faced challenges and was not in a position to initiate development immediately. However, after several years, India has become much more stable, and we can now see planned cities under construction. In 30 to 40 years, we can expect to see even more planned roads and urban developments in India.
No, US suburbs were developed in the post world war 2 boom, aided by a car centric lifestyle. It's a modern creation and it started not before the 40s. So, time can't be a factor here. The real factor is space, India lacks land
Only sensible comment about the main significant reason!
What about Pakistan?
@@kajaljadhav174 I don't know much about it, but this is my perspective. If you have any other views, I would be keen to hear them.

What about China
Bhai china ki ek city hai jo pahad pe bni hai. Phir bhi itni well developed hai. Wha building ke andr se train bhi chalti hai. Itna tgda planning hai us city ka. Bas bhana hai apne desh ka ye sab.
In prayagraj, due to mahakumbh municipal corporation ne bola ki sabhi businessman ya ghar jo bhi main road pr h sabko ek jaisa paint krne ko taki uniformity aaye to ye sale aandolan par baith gae ki hum kyu karcha kare paint ka nahi krwaynege paint.

urbanplanadvisor AI fixes this. Why Indian cities lack grid
The Reality is India is not our Home, Where is our family there is our Home its our mentality !!
Yes awareness over mind, and that is good thing
We lack creative, curious & honest people.
That's it.
That's why we are mediocre in everything freaking thing.

Hum log modernization and traditionalism ke beech aaj bhi confuse hai. Our technology is modern but thinking process in still medieval.
True 👍
This is an extremely important issue to solve for India in the coming years. we must follow the examples of cities like Tokyo, Seoul and London which are radial cities but have managed to create world class urban centre. This was a good explanation on the subject.
please make more videos on city designs and urban planning of Indian cities.
Main reason is govt doesn't develop roads before homes
Their are 20homes besides a service road area so people consulted govt to develop a road and they said their is gap between one after one home. So still the gap fills with homes they won't start building a road
What happened is after people builted homes in service road area
what happened is happened
Atleast now they should implement first constructing roads before homes
The question is why newly planned areas of the cities are still not in the grid structure. Once you start making them good, that will spread to the rest of the areas of the city
One of best Jaipur city grid pattern in the world.

As a city skylines 2 player, i always use grid option for roads

@@Ashwinkumar. 😂😂😂😂😂
you are right, but i visited punjab and haryana, all their new developed parts of each city has grid pattern or planned townships. their old parts still same but newly developed parts are planned in all the cities.
Grid style planning also have their major issues. See NYC and London which has lead to what is called as grid-locking leading to the worst traffics in the world.
This can be done in India also, as most of the cities and towns are getting old and need redevelopment, government can put out a policy of cluster development. People can come together can rebuild that towns, the mim size can be of 500 acres. No property tax for 10-20 years, the FSI should be increased to 10 or above. No maintenance cos [done in magarpatta city pune] Goverment can provide solar electricity and rain water harvesting system so free electricity and water for people. A lot can be done is there is enough motivation to do it.
Government doesn't want to fix unplanned cities.

But good explanation....❤❤❤❤
noida, gr. noida, chandigarh are exception
पंचकूला, हरियाणा भी
Also kota
mohali, chandigarh (UT), noida, greate noida, gandhinagar, new town(kolkata), new chandigarh(punjab), Panchkula, kurukshetra(70 percent planned). these are the only functional planned cities of india. i might haved missed only 1-2 cities.
But i do like the colours and design of houses, only the management of infra is bad.
European buildings ka colour bhi accha hai bhai... yaha city ki baat ho rhi drawing ki nhi 😂😂😂
Chandigarh has a grid system bhai & india first planned city❤😎
जय हिंद जय भारत 🚩🇮🇳

Population is the biggest direct or indirect reason for most of the problems.
The cities of Europe are also very old, but they are also built on the grid system. Even 2000 years ago, the cities of the Roman Empire were built on the grid system. This is not a matter of circumstances but of civilization. 😮
After the Indus Valley Civilization, the people of india keep their houses clean and beautiful but not their neighborhood and city 😮
In our place, people first build a bigger house, whether there is a road or not, especially this happens more in villages, wherever you see, there is a fight for the road.
Good info 👍
Sir can you increase the volume of your videos. i always have problem with the volume on your videos only. Please sir do it
Yes sir

In all countries, first the city is planned and then the roads are built, but in India it is the opposite, first the houses are built and then the roads are built.😅
The City Beautiful "CHANDIGARH" grid city. A Swiss-French architects Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Independent India’s first Prime Minister, laid down the new city when he said “Let this be a new town, symbolic of freedom of India unfettered by the traditions of the past an expressions of the nation’s faith in the future”. The city is a product of Nehru's Vision.
Problem is over population over pollution over traffic cars over crowded cities and most important over consumption 😅 it will be a big disaster for our country.... if most of land will have cities.... so there is a chance in future we will also import wheat and rice 😊
For people saying it poor planning or encroachment.
it has nothing to do with that.
India is an OLD CIVILISATION as compared to USA, so our cities were already built this way.
even Europe is an Old Civilisation.
America is probably the MOST RECENT discovery.
If you go to Europe, China, etc you will find cities this was as well, where there is no grid system.
be it France, Italy, UK, etc
And this is actually good.
Look at the thumbnails, how boring the US city looks.
Like I love such Ungrid cities.
The curves on the road, roundabout, etc feels so nice as opposed to just straight lines.

Bangalore has grid system in core city areas worst only in south-east bangalore highly depending on main roads making it as an star type design causing traffic congestion
Chandigarh planned in rectangle pattern and delhi cannaught place planned in star and grid pattern 😊
It's a nexus between Builder Lobby, Politicians and Local, State level Bureaucrats who makes money out of large land deals and planned minimal or just to survive type of city developments plans.
Nice video.
Because of Congress !!! Ruled 70 years but couldn't ever think of bringing good city plan!!!

I think american cities are not the best example for city planning. They are divided in residential, commercial and other zones which are very far apart from each other and forces residents to use cars. In india we have quite opposite where you have shops near your houses. I think european cities are best example for us in that they too have houses and commercial area near to each other (everyone walks there) and they are very old and therefore does not follow grid pattern but are very well planned. Tokyo is another great example.

Important point bring discussed
I prefer NON-GRID system.
Grid system looks boring.
But even in non-grid system, the cities in India really need to be well planned.
like, you choose. Do you like houses or cities of US or Europe, like vienna, Italy, France, UK, etc
US just looks SOUL LESS.
Old European cities are not in grid pattern , but still they have good transportation systems
Most important reason is poor planning, high poverty and corrupt politicians.

grid system looks good, efficient and easy to implement but actually grid system is not so good just see map of tokyo and remember one of the most efficient city is tokyo, grid system introduce many road crosses annd that leads to more car accident just see city planning vidoes

Grid pattern is useful when everyone has a car. It's not environment and social friendly.
They plan their city. We didn't plan it, it just grows up a village to a city
