Delhi, Mumbai far from being world class cities, says UN

[Trisonics]

UN had a different take on Namma Bengaluru: praise and some caution...

The UN State of the World’s Cities Report-2012 has put Bangalore at par with Silicon Valley in the US, acknowledging the advancement the City has registered in various sectors, even as it expressed concern over the adverse impact the city’s environment has suffered in recent years.

“Some cities in developing countries have embraced the model of world-class innovation clusters, such as California’s Silicon Valley or Boston’s Route 128, to become “high-tech hubs.” Those that have met with success in this endeavour, such as India’s Bangalore, owe it to the same basic factors: The presence of top-quality academic and research institutions as well as substantial public and corporate investment,” the report said.

According to the report, experts “saw a strong link between research and development (R&D) on the one hand and enhanced prosperity on the other with public authorities and other stakeholders playing significant roles in the areas of business, industry and technology.” The report placed two cities of India, Bangalore and Hyderabad, in the list of Asian cities which share this quality. “This was the case in Singapore, Hyderabad and Bangalore (India), Shenzhen and Chongqing (China), Gaziantep (Turkey) and Cebu (the Philippines),” it said.

The emergence of Bangalore as a knowledge hub is having a visible impact on policy, entrepreneurship and innovation, the report said.

With more than 66 engineering colleges and 55 polytechnics, the city has developed as a centre for scientific innovation, research in aeronautics and electronics with strong public research facilities,” it said.

However, the report noted that all is not well with the knowledge city of India and expressed concern over the poor health of environment and uneven growth infrastructure.

It quoted several observers who claimed that the city needs to pay more attention to infrastructure development and to ensure that the benefits of growth are evenly distributed among its population.

“Experts point to poor air quality, depletion of ground water tables and fast receding lakes (in the city),” it added.

UN body has praise and some caution for City

develop a film industry as potent as Bollywood for Shanghai or a Media as vocal as that of Delhi in Beijing.the communist citadels of your cities are merely propaganda.you should rather learn from Indian cities on how to develop a character.You can clean up the slums by stopping immigrants from villages into cities like China has done or you can construct skyscrapers within a few years if you have money but it is hard develop the feel of a cosmopolitanism bustling metropolis especially out of monotonous monstrosity that you guys have brought yourselves into. I would say that Chinese cities are huge shopping malls with dirty dark basements and shiny shops selling products products products and products and a few chandeliers and fountains here and there.

Wait, who tell you China stop immigrants from villages into cities?

If you kown nothing about China, you should shut up your mouth.

Shuting one's mouth is a chinese trait..I can understand....as you belong to the 50 cent army of communist party let an outsider enlighten you beyond the typical propaganda...
Communist party ensures that only a limited lot migrates to city, it drives temporary workers out. despite so many empty luxurious apartments a most of your migrants live in cramped suburban homes reason because they cannot ask for it as communist party will most likely drive them out of their virgin metropolises.

An ignorance man attack your motherland, you definitely will counterattack. If it is 50 cent, then everyone is 50 cent, you also 50 cent of your government.

It is really sad such stupid person attact everywhere in PDF.

But who tell you these stupid things? imagine?? Attact by imagine also one of Indian tradition.

Chinese may have not much freedom, such as speech or parade.
But Chinese can go anywhere they want to go.
you can go any Chinese city and settle down, live in luxurious apartments of centre city if you can affort it.
It is capital economy and market behavior.

Please don't tell me Indian poor migrate are living in the luxury apartments , not the slums.

Personnel flow is basic of economic development, you kown it ?

I find someone really been brainwashed, they think:
1. if you don't against China，you must be 50 cents party and been brainwashed
2. Chinese goods and weapon are all fake or copied or stolen, someone will try to find a "father" for every PLA weapon;(such as yestoday I saw http://www.defence.pk/forums/indian...l-operating-buying-new-bvr-less-fighters.html
China
PLAAF
J-7/F-7------------350 (MiG-21 copy)
J-8----------------180 (Su-15 copy?)
this made me laugh, J-8 began in 1964, first flight in 1969, Su15 first flight in 1964, began to produce in 1969; may be that's why he made a "?"
)
3. every com and people in China are controled by CCP, every Chinese go to abroad as spy, every goods of China may be used as spy
......................

If these can make a country success, then the god must has died

Some part of Delhi might just look like world class but whoole city is full of $hits..
And Mumbai !! never.. There is lot of room for improvement and good thing is that our gov is working on it..
.
And one question to chinese buddies, a world class city has good environment servivability... But somewhere I have read one article saying beijing is one of the worlds polluted city.. Is it true ??

Yes, true. Beijing is very polluted, since the dessert and heavy industry are all in North China, around Beijing. Beijing is dirty in terms of air quality, ground water quality. I have a UK friend, who has been to India and China, he told me Beijing is industry-dirty style, India is toilet-dirty style. No offensive, guys, its his original sentence. But we dont have much freedom of moving as Indians, so there is no slum in Beijing, that may be a reason Beijing looks cleaner.

You can clean up the slums by stopping immigrants from villages into cities like China has done.

LOL.what will happen if we don't "stop immigrants from villages into cities"?

Cool, now compare the percentage of urban slums in all three countries Pakistan, India and China.

People migrate to cities because of two reason either there is no opportunity in rural areas or high opportunity in Cities( possible for China but not others). Pakistan still have feudal system in rural areas with very less growth opportunity for landless peasants.

thats why we call Indians delusional and simpleton

I will prove that how a Chinese troll started this mess and then tell who is delusional and who is simpleton

A Chinese---

India has no cities that can rival shanghai!

An Indian replied---

thats true in terms of infrastructure sky scrapers/high rises.

Chinese troll replied---

That's true in terms of everything.

Another Indian replied in humour and sport---

No need of rubbing salt in our wounds!!

The previous Indian replied---

I think the air is more polluted there. BTW Dont worry, i am not taking the credit away from shanghai for being better than Mumbai or Dehi.

just in response to the ignorance of speech of phylumchordata .datas tell the truth.

no need to compare the percentage of urban slums,We have villages-in-city.But it is different from slums in india.maybe some people live there are poor, they are potential millionaires.

3 years ago when i was working in shanghai ,i met an old couple who ran a small grocery store in there village-in-city.They have a house of 60-70 m2,almost collapsed.Every time I visited their store,they asked me how much money they can get if their house was expropriated. although i cann't give them an accurate price,i'm sure they would get ￥2-4 million.they were looking forward to the arrival of this day.


Unbelievable??? i can give address to those who want to make sure...
