More of a coincidence I guess

How long has that been happening? There has to be a reason for so many locations to have that occur. For example, in the US, the richer areas are usually to the North and western side of cities due to wind patterns; being up wind of industrial areas. This is also true in the UK; The West end of London being the richer area, historically, while the East end is a working class part of town.

Don’t know, in case of Delhi’s southern areas the place has been built by the brits, same goes for Mumbai and most rich people have been living there for long.

Rest of the cities I don’t know much, can be can be not. In case of Hyderabad its West Hyderabad where all the skyscrapers and high rises are popping up and the rich celebs live in Banjara Hills there.

How would one know from just looking at a city, that one area is a rich area?

True, historically rich area maybe “old money”; inherited properties but may not indicate where the richest neighborhoods are located; areas MNCs maybe willing to put up a Starbucks or a luxury fashion store (what many Americans have told me they look for when deciding if an area they want to stay in while visiting a foreign city).

Is there generally a physical feature of these richer areas, wider streets, a center type of store, etc.?

Wider streets, less congested, mostly bungalows and villas.
And far from chaos.

And what would characterize a rich area of high income be apartment buildings? MNCs and foreign visitors would want an area that is rich and dense.

Nope, MNCs will invest where they will get high RoIs, Gurugram/Gurgaon for example didn’t had anything like that, it was a poor barren village some 25-30 years ago years ago area but DLF started building office spaces here and all MNCs came running to lease office space and invest tonnes of money and real estate developers started buildings apartments in Gurugram in huge numbers.

Now this is a ‘tourist’ attraction as well for those who come to visit NCR. The richest areas of the cities are the ones having the most high paying jobs/ booming businesses. So it can be anywhere. Most of the high paying jobs in Mumbai are in the Southern portion. Delhi’s southern part has remained very posh for decades, now areas like Rohini, Okhla are some sort of posh as well. In Hyderabad its the West Hyderabad where all the booming services and real estate sector is located.
