You said it yourself. People are growing richer but the living conditions are bad. This is clearly because urban bodies are badly run and corrupt as hell. Not enough urban income is generated to proper run cities. Cities should be collecting good amounts of taxes and other revenues so they can have good credit rating to list their municipal bonds and raise cheap, long term debt to finance municipal infrastructure. This is what all modern cities do including Chinese cities. But modi has been a total retard in this area. the Urban development ministry is a totally useless ministry. They could not even get more than 5 cities to list municipal bonds in the debt market.
Lmao. As I said before, the world will be in for a huge surprise at how much of a bigger shithole than they conceived most Indian cities are, as more and more districts and city have street view access. So far, other than Kangladesh, I have yet to see cities this filthy on street view. Cambodia is quite rough, but generally cleaner than our cities (but their bad roads/slums are just as bad) and the images are from a decade back. Who knows the state now.
Indonesia is quite interesting. Inner gullys can be quite poor and filthy but generally in most towns, the main roads pretty good

Kenya looks like a very typical Indian city. Non existent rubbish collection and chaos and broken roads everywhere. Same for Nigeria and Ghana.

Other than kanglus who somehow look even worse, other African tier countries generally look the same as most of our towns and cities. India's urban infrastructure deficit is easily in the trillions and this government has done absolutely nothing to fix it. Modi has given up on his swachh bharat jumla. Most cities and towns here in Karnataka somehow look filthier than a decade back, even though people have grown a lot richer
The US helped to list Vadodara’ s municipal bonds recently. Lol that we don’t even have the expertise to list and trade in municipal bonds. This is why Nirmala madam does not have much respect as an FM.
‘Here is a sad example. Mumbai’s urban budget is $10 billion. Shanghai’s urban budget is $90 billion. The gap is immense. So do t expect our cities to be consistently developed everywhere. On,y a few areas here and there would become developed. It is a total system failure and Modiji has done NOTHING about it. Sad.
