I went to Hong Kong recently. They also have narrow streets and a very dense landscape. Yet they had clean roads and not much traffic. They had great red lights for crosswalks, one way in many locations, and camera trackers everywhere for vehicles. I rarely saw police going around patrolling there, yet people followed the rules.
It's not impossible to turn our cities into modern beautiful locations. We just need political will to make the change.
Not a political will, indians need a whole new mindset, still i can see your comment carries old mindset of "govt fault etc etc"
Nope it's not govt's fault, it's our problem, we never follow rules, whenever i travel it's a hell for me, everywhere honking, no rules, anywhere cars are parked on roads.
For certain reasons we can abuse govt like no footpath, diff lanes for two wheelers, lane marking, etc. But 90% is our fault.
@@shivam_nagar69 Oh yes, I agree about mindset change dude. My blame to the government was mostly about lack of good roads(which don't get clogged), lack of footpaths, one way rules in dense areas with small roads.
Above all, we have a very slow and lazy Municipal Corporation. We don't have decent garbage collection departments, we don't see the streets being cleaned. We don't see people who litter getting fined.
Yes, people need to change. But we all know that they don't change unless someone is holding a stick on their heads.
So, in a way, government has to get serious first and lead by example + force.
@@bigchairmanmeow even if government makes footpath,, then after a few days shopkeepers and vendors will encroach the footpath. Making civilian lives miserable. And government will also be reluctant to drive them away because of vote bank. Also if government tries to drive them away then opposition parties will come and support them.
Exactly, The US, which this video takes example of, is in fact one of the worst examples of urban planning and commercial infrastructure.
For Indian urban planning, EU style non-car centric planning should be the target and to reach there starting like our asian counterparts is a good way just like you said about HK since they are most compatible with our existing cities and it would just take minimal upgrade and of cource policy changes for the citizens.
Dude pata hai ki kitna mehanga hai hong kong and kitne taxes high hain waha pe? But convenience bhot hai kyunki citizens get back what they pay in terms of taxes! India me paise hi nhi logo pass itne taxes dene ke and agar de bhi de to sarkar ka bharosa nhi hai kuch bhi!
This channel deserves a lot no wonder why is indian audience like this😢
Yaa bro they r more towards cringe content
indians are more interested in how pakistan is gonna collapse in 2 weeks (news channel has been saying this for the last 6 months)
Most people don't like to be educated about a range of topics. True in the developed world too. Europe feels like it bucks the trend because they have too much time and money burning inherited wealth and influence.
this is objectively bad information. I don't wanna diss on the guy too much but come on
I don't think we should take America as the best example for everything. They have wide roads and good parking yes, but it's also causing lot of problems for the people. It's very difficult to get anywhere in the US without a car. The urban heat island effect is very bad even in low density suburbs because the roads are unnecessarily wide and lack green cover. Also despite having such huge roads, they still suffer with worse traffic congestion because of lack of public transport. India is at a good spot with medium size road in most cities. I think we should follow a more China style system with more trams, metro and other public transit instead of wider roads. It's nice that you addressed the good effects of having pedestrian friendly areas, especially in old markets.
Never thought about these before thanks 👍
Yea the person who made this doesn't know what he's talking about. It is just popular opinion that wide roads are good but that just makes everything go farther. It is better to focus on proper maintenance of roads and stricter laws to prevent encroachment of footpaths
In USA 90% people have a car that's why USA people doesn't need public transport for urban area, but if you need public transport for urban area in USA then you can rent a car.
Europe was not planned...it's still better than your guttr country😂
Lol😂😂it's not what you think!
Americans mostly prefer car ( safety reasons ), Or they travel airways!
And ,no matter if American cities or country side you'll see wider roads!
Chinese urban planning is best example which India should try to emulate.
we can't but in newly build cities yes we can
That is worst u will realise if buldozer just wipe ur house or shop nearby road and compensate you with market or less amount and make u to shift outside area
@@nag1010 true !!!
when people get money they will slowly move out to new nicer place !!!
nah, stop watching CCP videos, I am not saying we are better or anything, but trust me, their cities are examples of what not to do. If anything, probably take some guiding principles from European nations, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and a bit of the USA (still better than Chinese cities, so it works) but Urban Planning has to be unique to India, heck even unique to each city.
@@pramod_p5 lol no, even Chinese tier-2 cities are better planned than tier-1 cities of western countries. But that's due to the government owning all land for unrestricted urban planning. Only a few democratic countries like Singapore have better planning than China.
Wide roads and car-centric infrastructure is not necessarily "development". Walkability is important in a modern city. I think it is bad if you cannot get anywhere without your car because everything in the city would be sooo far away! Also you need more parking spaces and we see how a large area of North American cities is wasted because of them.
However, while India is not car-friendly, it is also not pedestrian-friendly. Good quality public transit, cycle paths and even footpaths are rare in most tier-2 cities and I've seen cycle paths in bad condition all over Delhi. I think India can accommodate its massive population in cities only if they encourage public transit and cycling/walking as there's simply not enough space for each of us to get a car. It will also serve well for the poor populace of India as they can be easily affordable and will promote equality. Also fitness will be encouraged.
Agreed. sadly most people could care less and just want to destroy their own city like the americans to acomodate cars.
@@anantpathak2899 Indian government, state government or municipal corporations need to make new rules regarding cars, like they have in Europe. We have ULEZ zones and high parking fees in main city area's that discourages people to travel by car within the city. Indian cities could apply the same, but first a robust public transport system and infrastructure for pedestrians is necessary.
1. City in the USA transformed the 1950s(Robert Moses wasn't mentioned once in the video ) not 300 400 yrs ago. Usa didn't have car back then as well. They had railway line around which towns n cities are formed.
2. Denser city are better for business n for the environment. Everything is close by. For eg. Paris early was made of 3 4 town which has everything within 20 minute distance. Same with our cities as well.
I hope the channel creators promotes denser cities ,zoning laws, n showcase that car centric infrastructure isn't sustainable. How it financially impacts the lives of people. How suburbs in the USA are a ponzi scheme. How mixed use development is better. Reason why our old cities nmarkete are still located in denser zones. Because pedestrian friendly infrastructure boost business. For eg. Chandni chowk in Delhi was transformed completely for pedestrian. Also the creator can dig in more n understand how alot of our cities as well have grown closer to railway lines.
.
My Thinking about Why There is not Planned City in India is because India Not Face Too Much Destruction Of Cities as faced by European Cities. Many European Cities are Destroy Several times in WW2,WW1 And many more Wars. So After Destruction there is chance of Planned Cities And India not face this level of Destruction. So Government don't make planned cities except newly found city. Imagine government came and says leave your house because we want to make road wider. Correct me If I am wrong.
Why Indian's don't follow the traffic rules 🥺🥺?? Gov. Bhi strict nahi hoti kyu ki unhe vote cahiye.
😂 indians are burden of whites
low mentality and lazy attidude towards learning
Come to aizawl capital of mizoram, there people strictly follows the traffic rule.. Other parts of india should learn from mizoram state..
Sir but what about Chinese cities??? Chinese civilisation & cities are also almost as old as India's but whenever I see Chinese street view videos, their street tends to be much wider.
property rights were taken from the people and transfered to CCP in revolution so they destroy most of the old part except heritage and build it as new
and in heritage area also people dont live those area are reserved for retail business and hotels
Chineese cities are new.
@@nknkannadiga9742 a lot of them such as Xi'an aren't.
The real China's progress started when the CCP was formed about 70 years ago... also they have a very big land for their population, even vertical growth helped them to not be congested whereas India focuses on horizontal growth which needs more land , which backfires as India's population to land ratio is high..
Look at population density bro
No only Indian, European Roads are way more Narrow than Indian roads, And Now India's Roads are Expanding Especially in the Outskirts of the City like in Noida, Greater Noida, Navi Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Gurugram etc

One thing that indian cities must implement is the usage of trams. Many European cities provide free public transport to make lesser people use cars thus making roads less congested and environment clean and it works
Metro+Buses took over where the trams stopped. It is not energy efficient for the population density, time efficient for the speed they travel at and revenue efficient for the kind of investment they require.
Bhai jyada se jyada log iss channel ko subscribe karo. It deserves more.
the problem is cities in india are just extended villages.
there is a village in the middle of Cities
we cant move village so we build city around them
Nope. Overcrowded sl%ms
@@Ishantyagiofficial yes agree bro but it is done without proper planning, for example corruption in real estate has made citites worse literally anyone can make illegal construciton and then get it regularised but what happens to urban developement and infra no one seems to care about about it

American suburbs are the worst model of urban planning. It is a more car-centric design. The problem in India is not with population density rather with unreliable public transportation system and taxation policy on private vehicles.
Absolutely. There's a TH-cam channel called Not Just Bikes that shows the difference between north American car-centric urban planning vs Dutch-scandinavian urban planning.
You are right suburbs are
un sustainable because of sprawling infrastructure
They have stuff like HOAs, which doesn't even allow the small Kirana shops we have here to be set up in each street. They force close them down. Suburbs aren't bad, but they have worsened with many regulations. For all the land of the free and the home of the brave rhetoric, they don't even allow small mom-and-pop shops to sell everyday items.
@@HariKrishna-sy1kp He has a lot of good stuff to offer, and he is definitely worth listening to.
But his philosophy of what a home is different from others. It also reflects his view of urban planning too. For a good chunk of urbanized Europe, home is primarily for resting and being out is more like a default option. In contrast, most of us in India and a good chunk of the USA believe that home is like a default place to spend most of the time, taking care of a family and stuff. And going out is just for getting the necessary stuff done (work, entertainment, shopping etc.). Thus a bigger home with more space for tagging along with the family, an individual lawn for the kids to play and adults to relax vs a single-storey home with maybe 2 bedrooms and more community places like green spaces or parks, clubs, shops, restaurants and outside interactions are the competing results based on which policies are adopted. Both philosophies have their own benefits and problems. But he generally sticks to the house as just a resting point philosophy in most of his videos. This is what I have observed from a good chunk of his videos, but again, I may be wrong too.
@@pramod_p5 you are right imagine you need a car to go to bring milk and grocery. This is the most stupid kind of urban planning.
Indore and Chandigarh is a hope for other Indian cities,
Broad roads + cleanliness + minimal corruption
bro i want you to make a video about bad habits of Indian crowd
the main bad habit i feel is spitting in public places like a face several incidents on daily basis where i had to argue with people for stopping them from spitting in public places. and i always gets to see this mentality where people don't want to accept that they are doing anything wrong by spitting in public places. they just say its a natural thing to do but i feel this habit is largely came from gutkha market and i don't want to blame people for whatever they eat or do but spitting in front of my always makes me uncomfortable and i live in pune main city right now and i had to travel in public transport (PMPML) on daily basis for my work and collage and whenever I'm standing at a public place or walking from a crowded street it is impossible for me to even walk while looking at ground just because of spitting everywhere
and spitting in open also has lot and lots of heath problems for others but i had faced some situations where people get offended if I say them anything about it. but i think our government should take some steps regretting this point (i don't think they even care though ).
pune is a historical city and i always see a lot of tourists come to experience this city and i love to help them and guide them but few days before i met a tourist he was from outside India somewhere and he also talked about this thing with me and he said that I'm never going to visit this city again just because the unhygienic behavior of people and i felt bad about it.
at least make a short video to make people realize that whatever they are doing is not correct
I also feel worried about it.. People in India think public places as their private property and do things as they do in their home without caring others what other feels about them.. They don't give a damn care.. And it is just because of flexibility of law and low moral values of people.. We can't change our society in a single day.. It will take time.. And upcoming generation is expected to be more environment friendly and possess more moral values to differentiate between right and wrong..
General mentality of people is not good in india.india is not clean because of Indians not someone from England lol.
@@vibhakarsingh7104 fr bro. Indians in general are not hygienic, punctual, disciplined, when I was in Jaipur wherever i looked I saw people spitting on the roads. We can't even have a proper line in railway station booking counter
Talking about car centric urban planning, I think it is more prevalent in countries where automobiles and fuel are cheap. What do you guys think?
It has more to do with the history of urban planning and availability of space than fuel. If you visit New England, Spanish era Floridan cities, old Argentinan cities, you will see the same width not seen in England, Portugal, Spain and France. Though it's not the same as modern cities in both American continents.
Generally and simplistically, there are three schools of urban planning. European(very similar to ours), New World/American and postmodern.
"Car centric urban planning" is an adaptation of New World urban planning where roads got straighter and zoning laws to separate residential, business, manufacturing and agricultural lands were made.
Cheap and expensive depends on per capita GDP.
This has to be done In 1950s when we have much less population ab nhi ho payega
Yes agreed we had 40 crore people back than it would had been easier back then lekin ab to bhul hi jao ki Indian cities gonna be planned.
It's a concern that you didn't mention anything about unethical parking and unregulated public transport
I have a question if in that case why are China's cities also planned?
Cuz they demolished almost everything that came in their way of developing cities during Mao.
@Official_DataMy bad😛

Even for planned city we have same problem...for example Navi Mumbai & Newtown/Rajarhat has developed as a satellite city of Mumbai & Kolkata but of those( Navi Mumbai/ New Town- Rajarhat) cities we still have lot of old residential areas with narrow roads....I am not sure if NOIDA & Gurugram have same problem too
Noida also has many parts with same issues, but Greater Noida has no such issues.
Some people think noida is well developed but actually it's like other NCR cities especially like ghaziabad, they see Greater Noida and start calling Noida is best.
Land is a problem in India,let me explain india has similar *available* area as china and a similar population(in terms of numbers)however in china people don't actually own land,the ccp owns it therfore for the chinese it is easier to build planned cities they(ccp) can easily throw you out of your home in they want,the same is not applicable to india and people can buy land and build anything.
Someone is really telling bitter truth. One of the best honest videos that keep making honest videos are really rare❤
Can you study the suburbs of Bengaluru, I personally think Bengaluru's planned development was mostly after independence but unplanned development started post 1991 due to private (some times corrupt) real-estate boom.
I agree and disagree with it, coz there were parts of suburbs that were entirely owned by some prominent landowners, which the family sold to make it a residential area, yet we somehow got parks, shops and stuff. The expansion after 1991 was too high to regulate anything, and the most significant benefactors were politicians. A good chunk of them own lands for IT parks and sold residential areas around it to become extremely rich.
A relative of mine worked in BBMP. Let me quote him. "No one can anticipate or plan for that kind of growth.
These are few small small reasons. Because most of the city we see today are built after the introduction of vehicles.
So the biggest issue is that govt brings in infra change but those changes are like too little too late.
After suffering in traffic for 10 yrs, govt decides to broaden road but they take into account the road traffic which was present 5 yrs earlier. So, even after broadening roads, traffic issue is not resolved. Everyone might have seen this.
I am talking about the roads which has land to broaden. Atleast highways passing through the city should be broad. Highways passing through city are like arteries.
American cities are bad examples of city planning🤣
Exactly, american suburban sprawl is the worst.
Better than India
@@ramkumarsharma6331 definitely not, Usa ia rich and India is poor that is why it appears that way.

If you visit tokyo you will find narrow roads in the city. But very well maintained and organised traffic.
Chinese civilisation is also old but still their roads are world class better then European and American cities… we Indian are experts in giving excuses …never try to implement and improve anythin
2 most imp points are 1. people (walker+vehicles) following rules, 2. encroachment on road side. apart from that other more organized cities has narrow road because this cities are not planned vehicle centric.
In 20th century too planners failed to think about future generation and planned narrow roads...
In Every busy area, govt should buy some buildings and converted them to parking spots to avoid parking on the narrow roads...
why not buldoze the whole city so everyone can drive everywhere?
we can start from parking ... add parking space every 800 m for market area and same for small venders give them some place and free the road.. no stopping no parking on road.

Yes, and are very much walkable.
Narrow streets ok but parking on narrow streets, also dirty, lack of cleaning, wires and west electric poles this what make our streets bad
Just removing encroachments and street hawkers would solve 90% of the problem. Where I live, footpaths are illegally occupied by hawkers and bikes. Government will never take steps because of vote bank.
Big cities in India are already gone case. Nothing will make them livable. Better to develop Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities with good planning, so at least after 30 years, they will be good quality cities.
Humare yaha aisa hi hota hai....
Yeh hai india meri jaan.....
You forgot that European cities have first class excellent public transport that reduces the need for wide roads, and if you see the Netherlands, they have created bike lanes on literally every road, so the vast amount of people travel with cycles and metros only. They tax cars so high that people prefer cycling.
India may cars bhot sasti hai na??
Fun fact: In Europe taxes on buying cars ranges from 17-27% whereas in India taxes on buying cars is 28% gst plus 22% cess which equals to 50% taxes.
Cycling lanes European climate ke liye theek hai. Imagine Jaipur, Delhi, Mumbai jaise shahro main cycling karke kaam/school jana. Climate ki vajeh se sabke liye feasible nahi hai.
Iska solution hai Japanese idea. Japan me bhi kuch roads , alleys aisi hai kuch cities me jo narrow hai matlab adhik wide nahi hai. Vehicles waha par use hoti hai usi type ke mini vans etc. Hamare cities me density bahut adhik hai, aur hame pasand hai SUV's to traffic jam hogi hi.

Worse is even green urban cities being build have narrow medium sized roads.
In my city roads are wider but all shopkeeper acquires about 1 lane from each side which makes roads conjested
India ki cities bahut hi bekar hai, because city planning is managed by uneducated local level politicians. and illiterate babus.
The biggest problem in our country is that it’s population increased at faster rate then what city planning can handle. If y’all understand, they did have plans for all cities if I remember but the population growth in cities was far too much and quick that the developments couldn’t keep up and slowly the planning went downhill to compensate for all those people.
The best solution for India is to slowly have its population go down. Looking at the size of the country it should have about 400-500M residents. 1.4B is just not good. Even countries such as USA, Russia, Australia which have a lot more land then us have combined population that’s less then ours.
If india were to reduce its population to 500M which is still a lot of people it can deal with many problems it faces easily, less population will mean. Better education, better healthcare, better infrastructure, better city planning and redevelopment of them, less pollution, less needs of people, less traffic, better standards of living, more job opportunities, better population density, better homes, more safety, rules will be followed more better, and much more.
I do know that we are talking about a lot of people being dead but we technically aren’t killing anyone we are slowly over the course of 50 or so years reducing population which can be due to natural deaths and such. We need to remember that as long as the population increases of india it will only bring more problems to the nation itself no matter what we built any infrastructure will be overtaken quite fast and to keep up will need to built more infrastructure and the cycle will keep going. A countries biggest concern should be its population from my point because too much population can cause huge problems just as much as too little would so we need to keep it in good shape.
If you think otherwise please do tell me why?
Sahi baat hai bro. Log mane ya na na mane lekin overpopulation hi desh ka sabse bada durbhagya hai. Pehle ke log andha dhun bacche paida karte the 4-5 to common the shayad pehle fhir unko pal pos nahi paate the. We can many examples like this in our neighborhood's. Yeh wala analysis mere mind mai bhi aaya tha some 3 months ago ki India ki ideal population should had not more than 25cr but then ab Jo ho gaya uska kuch nahi kar sakte. Overpopulation is not at all good in any manner.
@@winny1057 mane to bahuto ke 10 12 bhi dekhe hain bachche 😑
For this kind of population, it's a compulsion as land is too valuable for middle class which is greater than their need for wider roads.
Europe also had ancient civilization. The problem with india is even new roads are not planned
Narrow streets becomes narrow as strow because of vendors. If we can give them proper shop, food truck and more employment so that they can have option for making living.
You may have noticed that garbage's also occupy a lot of space and make place look like garbage bin.( A portion of credit of this cause also goes to me.)
this is the question i asked 1 year ago on ASKPT of Infranews #472, Thanks for the Detailed video about it
Here in Banglore I have seen multiple one way roads and 98% of people follow as well it is best way to make it less chaos, without major investment as we already have multiple narrow roads just divert the traffic properly and it would be smooth.
Also people follow here one way roads as in Banglore if someone break this rule he will make huge traffic congestion and he will also be stuck also traffic police are there to fine those kind of people.
In India just make traffic fine more strict most of the problem would be solved
1:51 aajkal toh chalna bhi possible nhi hai roads pe😂😂
In India cities one cannot walk because he have to risk his life even for walking because in our roads 10 wheelers to 2 wheelers all run in same undeveloped roads.
India should take Inspiration for Urban Planning from Japan especially Tokyo. And they also have world class infrastructure, Buildings that can save them from frequent Earthquakes and many more. When it comes to public transportation system within the city India should take inspiration from Europe and Japan.
We should have Japan like foothpath & simple sidewalks with greenary & not pedestals with random hudles in the middle.
some cities are very planned like chandigarh jamshedpur bhubaneshwar.
Having a wide road isn't good,
Having public transportation with high focus on walking to walkable distance (say around 1 mile radius) is the solution for congestion, traffic, obesity and trade.
Can you make video on development of road and infrastructure in various part of Mumbai like in Andheri, borivali how they got developed and when
you forgot that Europe got bombed completely flat in WW1 and WW2, so almost all their cities are new as well. Mostly rebuilt in the 50s

Totally fault of Indian citizen who select uneducated politicians, They don't have big vision. Still new cities are created like Navi Mumbai but not proper water management Not proper electricity, parking, safety issues a lot of that's why sensible people choose to move other countries with family.
I dont care about roads and other stuff as long as something is done about spitting on roads, waste management and shops on platforms. I live in Chennai and i can guarantee that not one platform in the city can be used for walking. Most of the time its filled with shop stalls (who by the way throw waste around them). Other times its filled with construction material or there are vehicles either driving or parked on them. And in some cases there arent any platforms at all, demolished in the interest of widening roads.
Since these cities are made for walking, maximum people should walk through these cities and make few wider roads elsewhere where the roads aren't made yet
We goes with the nature
Age of cities is not a factor for indian cities to be like this and dosent justifies worst Town planning policies and peoples lack of asthetics.. None of the big 7-8 metro cities were there 300-400 years ago except for Delhi which existed for 1000 years, the part of Delhi which is old is only 1/10th of current size of Delhi. So no justification for Bad Town Planning. Even After Independence many cities were smaller in size as compared to their present form, but no proper town planning was followed and executed, hapazard development with no regards to law was allowed by the government (both elected and opposition) in all states.It also not about the govenment, we Indian's as a whole dosent actually have any problem with mess around us and always we try to break rules within our own limits. So actually no one to blame, a society deserves to be as they are.
Indian roads should be wide and they should discontinue the narrow roads.
Sir our government is already in a deficit how will it fund building and maintaining highways + they are not very people friendly
@@manmohanmishra5301 because of narrow road public get irritated due to heavy traffic in narrow road so that is why, they should construct the wide road so that there traffic should be low.
Road and the other side of the street is a little down as I am now back from the UK
I think the best and most effective way to solve this problem would be to upgrade the public transport system. The problem with the American system is that even if u have to go like 800 m u have to take a car because they make so wide rodes. and it can just induce more traffic to the city because people will buy cars for transport rather than using public transport and the city will end up having congestion after 4 or 5 years and it will be way worse than before. and it is bad for the local economy
how it is bad for the local economy?
Brother is topic par video banaye,,,
Brother ek bada issue ye bhi hai ki jin logo ki jameen highway ke just kinare hoti hai , wo to apni jameen me hotel , ghar, hospital , colony bana lete hain lekin uske just peeche wali jameen ko connectivity nhi dete hain aur peeche wali ki connectivity block ho jati hai , yahi pattern road ke kinare kinare kai kilometer tak jata hai jisse peeche wali jameen ko highway ya road ka koi fayda nhi hota , ye pattern bahut bad hai future me infrastructure ke liye , gov ko is par dhyan dena chahiye aur jinki jameen road ke kinare hai unko compulsory minimum 20 feat ka rasta peeche ki land ke liye chhorna chahiye, ye issue kewal highway par hi nhi city ke local roads , state roads , district and town roads par bhi hai , aajkal sehro aur towns ke bahar ke area me bahut dekhne ko mil rha hai
If the citizens in India start following lane discipline and proper parallel parking then that is more than enough to eliminate most traffic congestions.
Many people get it wrong when they say "North American cities were Built for the car". This is NOT true. Almost all american cities are older than cars, and they were as dense and walkable as any other city in asia or europe. You can simply google and see images of any US city you know of before 1920's or 30's.
Its only after WW2, that US started something called the "Suburban experiment". The US Interstate system was born, street car (AKA Tram) companies were bought by auto companies and entire networks were dismantled, Huge highways and interchanges were built on the city land mostly consisting of minorities, strict zoning codes were introduced, mandating construction of only single family car dependent houses on most of the land, huge parcels of land were dedicated to parking.....All of this after years of lobbying from Automobile and Oil companies.
This is the worst form of development which has destroyed social fabric of cities across north america. Dedicating most of your city's space to roads and parking which do not generate as much tax revenue as businesses has put american cities on huge pile of debt.........and many see such development model as a symbol of prosperity.
Coming to why European cities don't have much traffic in their city centre is simple:
1. they have an excellent public transport.
2. They charge heavy toll tax on bringing cars to city centre. As far as I know, If you want to bring your car to central London, they charge around 35 pounds.
3. Less types of vehicles on road. In other countries, you will find (mostly) Cars, Buses, Motorbikes, Cycles, Vans, and thats it. In India, you will find three wheelers, cycle rickshaws, Bikes converted to rickshaws, Hand pushed carts, Animals and what not.
4. Better planning and traffic sense.
Every one is praising Chandigarh and Indore for wide roads. Check out Bhubaneswar and its urban planning.
The first and main point of ancientness is completely wrong. It is true that India is a far longer and more ancient culture than America but even then America is atleast 400-500 years old, ignoring the natives who already lived there.
Also, the real reason why Americans have wide road is because of their govts car craziness while India did not have or even has such craziness.
Americans, in 1700s walked the same way that Indians walked and their cities were still old, New York was built by Dutch during 1600s while Kolkata was built around the 1700s. Also, cars came much later than all of the cities that were built but it was the American's craziness about cars and president Eisenhower's rebuilding project after ww2 that brought about the wide roads and highways.
Watching some American TH-cam videos like from vox would clear things better. 😊
Indian roads and the mindset of people both are narrow
Missing a big point here our one city has more population than their entire country.
India is actually way ahead than them with what we have.
I've seen multiple roads where footpaths are bigger than roads. Not to mention unnecessary cycle tracks, which is so impractical use of that much space. For 50-60 two-wheelers and 20-30 four-wheelers and 2-3 buses and trucks there's like 1 cycle that travels, which btw can (and in reality it does) travel on same road as cars and bikes on sideline. Entire lane is practically wasted in this.
Isse acha waha bade wale aam k ped laga dete, chav bhi milti aam bhi milte.
Israel is also ancient but its infrastructure is good
They redevelop there city
we should plan our city to be more pedestrian friendly rather than car friendly . I would like people to know more about by "NOT JUST BIKES" .he explains how a city should really be made.

I live in Guwahati city. All the footpath are occupied by the local vendors. Its a serious issue but no one cares
i dont think it is good to compare our cities to american cities but rather to compare them with europian ones as even these cities have a long history and narrow roads
Me ujjian se hu . One of the oldest city in world
Try making a video on why India has bad wiring systems and webbing of wires
US cities are not really to be compared with
They are more shittier
European cities do have great planning tho
Indian government can develop big buildings and infrastructure for people to live ….. and relocate them to new buildings and develop the old cities areas and roads
Europe me cities me road hamare roads se bhi narrow hai but waha pe strict rules ko follow karte hai aur one way system use hota hai....hamare yaha one way banae toh bhi usme bike Wale wrong side se lekar hi jaemge
The premise of this video is factually incorrect. The actual reason for narrow roads is not that Indian cities are centuries old...but due to poor urban planning and uncontrolled development of real estate.
In India, you can build a huge building anywhere without adequate road access . This is due to corrupt politicians and land mafia and poor regulatory framework. Else how do you explain this issue even after 75 years of independence.!!
Whatever you have mentioned may hold good only for old cities that are only a very small percentage of the total land area of the cities of today !!
All okay, but I live in Bangalore from before it "boomed". In 1995 there was farms, today NARROWEST roads are there in these areas and lakhs of people live and complain no public transport. The road is too narrow to send a bus.
Nice. Please make more videos about urban design
Believe me USA Canada cities not good in planning. It is good on paper too much car centric ,zoning . I like japanese cities planning mixed use type . Even high population density city Tokyo is well planned with best transit system.
Europe was not planned...it's still better than your guttr country😂

It will going to change gradually
The planned city of Navi Mumbai, in its one of the most sought after residential areas, there is zero planing for cars parking.
Govt is trying to do redevelopment in bhendi bazar and Dharavi pr log karne nai derahe hai
Acha! Toh iss logic se London, Paris...Moscow, ye saare cities bhi congested hone chahiye..
Not adhering to traffic rules is still a solvable problem- wit CCTV, AI and image processing we can track and penalize. Enroachment is the real problem here.

India's overpopulation is the biggest curse for this country. India's population had to be max to max 25 crore considering our landmass. USA landmass is bigger than India and has 33 crore population but then comes india with. Huge mind-blowing population of 140 crores. If we had less population then implementation of certain things could have became easier. Illegal encroachment makes me realise that this country does not need population anymore.
take singapore example for this instance they have much more population than India per square kilometer
@@ibrahimaiwayi but Singapore is a lot more smaller country in area that's why more people in per sq km.
@@winny1057 it's not about size of a country it's about management
