Gadkari ji is DFI lurker confirmed. And he delivers results in quick time too. I had asked this just 1 month ago and now here is India's first suspension road bridge coming up:- Bit short but I am happy nonetheless. Suspension bridges are my favourite type. Bro I just looked at the photos...

Putting the line through an underground service duct is one thing, but isn't simply burying it like they appear to be doing here problematic? What happens when they need to replace it? If its a service duct, access is easy. If its simply buried, they'll have to dig it up again. And what happens...

Ignore the video title, there is no new policy discussed here. But its a compilation of change in rules related to urban planning and its implementation since last few years:- Out of these there is only one law that somewhat addresses the redevelopment problem and that alone is not...

What does multi-corridor mean? Rail and road both?

Nah. they will do it despite the bill. You can't criminalize having more children. Only thing you can do is prevent them from entering govt jobs and the like if they have more than two children. That affects the goody-two-shoes Hindus more than it does the Muslims that live in their own...

Didn't this change after RERA?

Bruh. This is almost 1 Kanal. Forget 50 Lakh, will take at least 2 crore to buy land and build a house on it, without considering urban land price appreciation.

But there are multiple other factors: urban sprawl causes transportation issues. Especially the American style suburbs that makes mass public transit a non-started due to low population density. We need a sweet spot denser than this but not the densest. One idea is to have "builder floors"...

Assuming what you say is true (its not), what do you want us to do? Cut down trees in Delhi till it looks less green? Because according to you, trees don't belong in cities and tree lovers should just go to a village or something. What will it take to convince you that its possible to have...

Noted. The argument was about having trees in cities. Take another example of a country with a similar enough population density to India: Japan. Tokyo has a 52% tree cover. And its urbane and sophisticated as a city. Centered around public transit as well. Even the denser parts of Tokyo have a...

Don't know dude, I am not an AI that can pixel correlate and tell you the ratio of green. Especially when I can't tell if you cropped Paris's picture deliberately or not. Tell you what though, I can do a google search. And Delhi and Paris are evenly matched in green cover at around 20%. My...

This population control bill drama is stupid. For multiple reasons. TFR is already about to dip below 2.0. Such a bill/law would have made a difference 40 years ago. Not now. Stupid idea.

Trees are an important part of the city design because more problematic than dust due to exposed soil is the heat island effect the absence of trees would otherwise create. Exposed soil can be kept wet with sprinklers or drip irrigation systems to ensure it doesn't lead to dryness and dust. But...

True. Bridging long spans with minimal piers is specialty of suspension bridges. Take MHTL for example. They are using steel decks for minimizing pier nos. to minimize hinderence to ship movement.

That is a cable stayed bridge, not a suspension bridge. Although I find cable stayed bridges to be beautiful as well. In terms of aesthetics I think: Suspension bridges > Cable-stayed bridges > Arch-bridge > Extra-dosed bridges >> others like viaduct, box-girder, etc. Yeah, but there has got be...

On the contrary, suspension bridges are much more cost efficient, especially with respect to material cost as a function of bridge span.

Someone please explain why we have no Suspension Road Bridges in India. I mean we do have bridges long enough where a suspension bridge would have been economical and made sense. Yet we didn't build suspension bridges there. Only Indian suspension bridges I know of are all pedestrian bridges...

Think about it like this: why was Iwo Jima captured? Because the IJN failed to defeat USN. Once USN fleet surrounded Iwo Jima, it was only a matter of when not if for the defenders of the island.

Because failure of a Blue Water Navy to destroy the enemy fleet on the high seas is what exposes the coastline of a nation to threats in the first place. No matter where our INS Vishal CSG will be, if its shadowing and holding back a PLAN fleet, it is in effect defending this island chain...
