Chittagong vs Kolkata

[Species]

Some shameless Indians comparing decade old figures to save their faces. It's okay, no problem, we shouldn't make fun of them.

Under construction World Trade Center Chittagong

There is no world trade center in Kolkata.

Given the vast gap among the indian states,it would foolish to compare relatively homogenous BD with unequal India when we compare per capita income.It would give a distorted picture.As I said earlier 1/3 of India is better of and 2/3 of India is worse of than BD.

No, because Indians can go and work in any state, both skilled and unskilled Indians go and work in major economic centres like Maharashtra. I am sure many skilled and unskilled Bangladeshis also go and work in their economic centres like Dhaka. But you want to exclude the income of economic centres for India, but want to include the income of economic centres for Bangladesh. That's unethical in so many ways.

Then come up with latest figures from credible sources.

You want us to name one of our business centres as "World Trade Centre"? Does that make your city New York?

Who said gdp distribution in BD is homogenous ?

OMG! are these the best pics of Chittagong? Third-grade Indian colleges have better buildings than those shown in these Chittagong's pics

They are under the jurisdiction of World Trade Centers Association, such trade centers are usually iconic landmarks in their cities. I hope Kolkata will also be getting one in near future.

Every major city in South Asia is infra deficient, what's new there?

but the buildings you have in Chittagong, those seen in the pics, are similar to what private tuition centers own in India. No offence but chittagong being the Mumbai of Bangladesh deserves better

lolwa,Nice one...

lack of intercity or intracity connectivity is a major drawback for Chittagong

The pics are actually older ones, Chittagong is witnessing a construction boom with many highrises under construction. The recent skyline is way way better but they are hard to come by.

Not as much as Chittagong !!

This is a joke, yes Chittagong doesn't hve a metro but that is not all that a city should look for. Consider the Chittagong Circular Railway, I think it's the best circular railway in South Asia.

Can't help it, the best city they have seen is Dhaka, and practically Dhaka is yet to become a city....they entire city has just two proper malls and one or two multiplexes, and public transport system is cycle rickshaw, they only have about a thousand taxis...and that's the capital city, can you imagine!!

Re: part in bold - Not even.

Most major world brands with the exception of Uniqlo (in colaboration with a local company with awfully laid out stores and terrible visual merchandising all 'round, quite different from any Uniqlo store worldwide), are absent in their biggest mall. It's like a local shopping centre spread across many levels. Lighting and finishing is terrible.

Exactly. Infra wise, even a city like Indore is years ahead of any BD city.
