I went to Hong Kong recently. They also have narrow streets and a very dense landscape. Yet they had clean roads and not much traffic. They had great red lights for crosswalks, one way in many locations, and camera trackers everywhere for vehicles. I rarely saw police going around patrolling there, yet people followed the rules. It's not impossible to turn our cities into modern beautiful locations. We just need political will to make the change.

Chinese urban planning is best example which India should try to emulate.

This channel deserves a lot no wonder why is indian audience like this😢

I don't think we should take America as the best example for everything. They have wide roads and good parking yes, but it's also causing lot of problems for the people. It's very difficult to get anywhere in the US without a car. The urban heat island effect is very bad even in low density suburbs because the roads are unnecessarily wide and lack green cover. Also despite having such huge roads, they still suffer with worse traffic congestion because of lack of public transport. India is at a good spot with medium size road in most cities. I think we should follow a more China style system with more trams, metro and other public transit instead of wider roads. It's nice that you addressed the good effects of having pedestrian friendly areas, especially in old markets.

Why Indian's don't follow the traffic rules 🥺🥺?? Gov. Bhi strict nahi hoti kyu ki unhe vote cahiye.

Wide roads and car-centric infrastructure is not necessarily "development". Walkability is important in a modern city. I think it is bad if you cannot get anywhere without your car because everything in the city would be sooo far away! Also you need more parking spaces and we see how a large area of North American cities is wasted because of them. However, while India is not car-friendly, it is also not pedestrian-friendly. Good quality public transit, cycle paths and even footpaths are rare in most tier-2 cities and I've seen cycle paths in bad condition all over Delhi. I think India can accommodate its massive population in cities only if they encourage public transit and cycling/walking as there's simply not enough space for each of us to get a car. It will also serve well for the poor populace of India as they can be easily affordable and will promote equality. Also fitness will be encouraged.

Bhai jyada se jyada log iss channel ko subscribe karo. It deserves more.

Sir but what about Chinese cities??? Chinese civilisation & cities are also almost as old as India's but whenever I see Chinese street view videos, their street tends to be much wider.

It is the first infrastructure news channel love bro from odisha keep it

No only Indian, European Roads are way more Narrow than Indian roads, And Now India's Roads are Expanding Especially in the Outskirts of the City like in Noida, Greater Noida, Navi Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Gurugram etc

the problem is cities in india are just extended villages.

Talking about car centric urban planning, I think it is more prevalent in countries where automobiles and fuel are cheap. What do you guys think?

One thing that indian cities must implement is the usage of trams. Many European cities provide free public transport to make lesser people use cars thus making roads less congested and environment clean and it works

Although China was also new developed countries and it's infrastructure is way advanced than USA. India should learn it Ham kab tak Democracy democracy bolke yahan slow kaam hoga?? Ye to ab Excuse lagta h!!! Hamko abhi to jarurat hai wide road and decongestion and most importantly Cleanliness and greenery

Indore and Chandigarh is a hope for other Indian cities, Broad roads + cleanliness + minimal corruption

It's a concern that you didn't mention anything about unethical parking and unregulated public transport

this is the question i asked 1 year ago on ASKPT of Infranews #472, Thanks for the Detailed video about it

Someone is really telling bitter truth. One of the best honest videos that keep making honest videos are really rare❤

bro i want you to make a video about bad habits of Indian crowd the main bad habit i feel is spitting in public places like a face several incidents on daily basis where i had to argue with people for stopping them from spitting in public places. and i always gets to see this mentality where people don't want to accept that they are doing anything wrong by spitting in public places. they just say its a natural thing to do but i feel this habit is largely came from gutkha market and i don't want to blame people for whatever they eat or do but spitting in front of my always makes me uncomfortable and i live in pune main city right now and i had to travel in public transport (PMPML) on daily basis for my work and collage and whenever I'm standing at a public place or walking from a crowded street it is impossible for me to even walk while looking at ground just because of spitting everywhere and spitting in open also has lot and lots of heath problems for others but i had faced some situations where people get offended if I say them anything about it. but i think our government should take some steps regretting this point (i don't think they even care though ). pune is a historical city and i always see a lot of tourists come to experience this city and i love to help them and guide them but few days before i met a tourist he was from outside India somewhere and he also talked about this thing with me and he said that I'm never going to visit this city again just because the unhygienic behavior of people and i felt bad about it. at least make a short video to make people realize that whatever they are doing is not correct

Sir apki har video deken me baut maza aata hai itni mushkil baate itne easily way me bta jathe ho bilkul be bhor feel nhi hota really 👍👍👍👍

भारत की सबसे बड़ी समस्या "जनसंख्या" है। जनसंख्या नियंत्रण कानून ही भारत का विकास कर सकता है। 🔥🔥

I have a question if in that case why are China's cities also planned?

Nice. Please make more videos about urban design

This has to be done In 1950s when we have much less population ab nhi ho payega

Nice Information 👍

Can you study the suburbs of Bengaluru, I personally think Bengaluru's planned development was mostly after independence but unplanned development started post 1991 due to private (some times corrupt) real-estate boom.

Even for planned city we have same problem...for example Navi Mumbai & Newtown/Rajarhat has developed as a satellite city of Mumbai & Kolkata but of those( Navi Mumbai/ New Town- Rajarhat) cities we still have lot of old residential areas with narrow roads....I am not sure if NOIDA & Gurugram have same problem too

Can you make video on development of road and infrastructure in various part of Mumbai like in Andheri, borivali how they got developed and when

जय हिंद जय भारत 🇮🇳🚩

1:51 aajkal toh chalna bhi possible nhi hai roads pe😂😂

Indian roads are not narrow Indian mentality is 😎

Need more skilled engineers not online classand test products

If you visit tokyo you will find narrow roads in the city. But very well maintained and organised traffic.

American suburbs are the worst model of urban planning. It is a more car-centric design. The problem in India is not with population density rather with unreliable public transportation system and taxation policy on private vehicles.

2 most imp points are 1. people (walker+vehicles) following rules, 2. encroachment on road side. apart from that other more organized cities has narrow road because this cities are not planned vehicle centric.

These are few small small reasons. Because most of the city we see today are built after the introduction of vehicles. So the biggest issue is that govt brings in infra change but those changes are like too little too late. After suffering in traffic for 10 yrs, govt decides to broaden road but they take into account the road traffic which was present 5 yrs earlier. So, even after broadening roads, traffic issue is not resolved. Everyone might have seen this. I am talking about the roads which has land to broaden. Atleast highways passing through the city should be broad. Highways passing through city are like arteries.

we can start from parking ... add parking space every 800 m for market area and same for small venders give them some place and free the road.. no stopping no parking on road.

*Bhai Aapka Knowledge to Kamaal ka he🙏😂*

Worse is even green urban cities being build have narrow medium sized roads.

7:31 Vaise China mai bhi Property Rights strict hai! Agar kisi ka Ghar Roads ke construction ke beech mai padh jata hai toh uska Alternative route nikala jata hai.. Kyunki Aapne jo pehle video mai bataye tha ki Asian countries bohot pyrani hai aur ek culture bana hai Khaas kar ki unn countrues mai jahan Civilization bohot Purani hai... Umm Btw sir Koi solution ho sakta hai then?

Narrow streets ok but parking on narrow streets, also dirty, lack of cleaning, wires and west electric poles this what make our streets bad

Humare yaha aisa hi hota hai.... Yeh hai india meri jaan.....

We goes with the nature

For this kind of population, it's a compulsion as land is too valuable for middle class which is greater than their need for wider roads.

In 20th century too planners failed to think about future generation and planned narrow roads... In Every busy area, govt should buy some buildings and converted them to parking spots to avoid parking on the narrow roads...

Just removing encroachments and street hawkers would solve 90% of the problem. Where I live, footpaths are illegally occupied by hawkers and bikes. Government will never take steps because of vote bank.

Iska solution hai Japanese idea. Japan me bhi kuch roads , alleys aisi hai kuch cities me jo narrow hai matlab adhik wide nahi hai. Vehicles waha par use hoti hai usi type ke mini vans etc. Hamare cities me density bahut adhik hai, aur hame pasand hai SUV's to traffic jam hogi hi.

Europe also had ancient civilization. The problem with india is even new roads are not planned

some cities are very planned like chandigarh jamshedpur bhubaneshwar.

European cities look beautiful ❤️

Road and the other side of the street is a little down as I am now back from the UK

It will going to change gradually

Here in Banglore I have seen multiple one way roads and 98% of people follow as well it is best way to make it less chaos, without major investment as we already have multiple narrow roads just divert the traffic properly and it would be smooth. Also people follow here one way roads as in Banglore if someone break this rule he will make huge traffic congestion and he will also be stuck also traffic police are there to fine those kind of people. In India just make traffic fine more strict most of the problem would be solved

Whats the BGM

In my city roads are wider but all shopkeeper acquires about 1 lane from each side which makes roads conjested

Sahi kaha ye aapne. Ek k baad ek Ghar bante chale jaate hai. Jaha Ghar Bane hote hai waha ek ped Tak nahi dikhta

Indian roads should be wide and they should discontinue the narrow roads.

Indian roads and the mindset of people both are narrow

If the citizens in India start following lane discipline and proper parallel parking then that is more than enough to eliminate most traffic congestions.

Brother is topic par video banaye,,, Brother ek bada issue ye bhi hai ki jin logo ki jameen highway ke just kinare hoti hai , wo to apni jameen me hotel , ghar, hospital , colony bana lete hain lekin uske just peeche wali jameen ko connectivity nhi dete hain aur peeche wali ki connectivity block ho jati hai , yahi pattern road ke kinare kinare kai kilometer tak jata hai jisse peeche wali jameen ko highway ya road ka koi fayda nhi hota , ye pattern bahut bad hai future me infrastructure ke liye , gov ko is par dhyan dena chahiye aur jinki jameen road ke kinare hai unko compulsory minimum 20 feat ka rasta peeche ki land ke liye chhorna chahiye, ye issue kewal highway par hi nhi city ke local roads , state roads , district and town roads par bhi hai , aajkal sehro aur towns ke bahar ke area me bahut dekhne ko mil rha hai

We should have Japan like foothpath & simple sidewalks with greenary & not pedestals with random hudles in the middle.

In India cities one cannot walk because he have to risk his life even for walking because in our roads 10 wheelers to 2 wheelers all run in same undeveloped roads.

Bring back walking to school/office/friends house/market

The planned city of Navi Mumbai, in its one of the most sought after residential areas, there is zero planing for cars parking.

Narrow streets becomes narrow as strow because of vendors. If we can give them proper shop, food truck and more employment so that they can have option for making living. You may have noticed that garbage's also occupy a lot of space and make place look like garbage bin.( A portion of credit of this cause also goes to me.)

Totally fault of Indian citizen who select uneducated politicians, They don't have big vision. Still new cities are created like Navi Mumbai but not proper water management Not proper electricity, parking, safety issues a lot of that's why sensible people choose to move other countries with family.

Me ujjian se hu . One of the oldest city in world

India should take Inspiration for Urban Planning from Japan especially Tokyo. And they also have world class infrastructure, Buildings that can save them from frequent Earthquakes and many more. When it comes to public transportation system within the city India should take inspiration from Europe and Japan.

See our cities are expanded by the choice of people only so , if we can work little on the renovation, it is possible to look organized and neat and full implementation of swatch bharath have to come , when fines started then only people change ,then they will not throw dust on roads. hope good , jai hind

But why Bangalore has narrow streets, even the new areas around Outer Ring Road?

I dream for india similar to europe

we should plan our city to be more pedestrian friendly rather than car friendly . I would like people to know more about by "NOT JUST BIKES" .he explains how a city should really be made.

Having a wide road isn't good, Having public transportation with high focus on walking to walkable distance (say around 1 mile radius) is the solution for congestion, traffic, obesity and trade.

Since these cities are made for walking, maximum people should walk through these cities and make few wider roads elsewhere where the roads aren't made yet

I dont care about roads and other stuff as long as something is done about spitting on roads, waste management and shops on platforms. I live in Chennai and i can guarantee that not one platform in the city can be used for walking. Most of the time its filled with shop stalls (who by the way throw waste around them). Other times its filled with construction material or there are vehicles either driving or parked on them. And in some cases there arent any platforms at all, demolished in the interest of widening roads.

Indian government can develop big buildings and infrastructure for people to live ….. and relocate them to new buildings and develop the old cities areas and roads

Acha! Toh iss logic se London, Paris...Moscow, ye saare cities bhi congested hone chahiye..

हमारे वनी शहर महाराष्ट्र में वन वे सिस्टम शुरू हुआ था पर ज्यादा गालियां होने की वजह से किसी भी लेन से किसी भी लेन पर चले जाते थे जो फेल हो गया इसका फेल होने का मुख्य कारण था सबको का छोटा होना ओर उन्हे जोड़ने वाली गलियों का ज्यादा होना

Govt is trying to do redevelopment in bhendi bazar and Dharavi pr log karne nai derahe hai

I've seen multiple roads where footpaths are bigger than roads. Not to mention unnecessary cycle tracks, which is so impractical use of that much space. For 50-60 two-wheelers and 20-30 four-wheelers and 2-3 buses and trucks there's like 1 cycle that travels, which btw can (and in reality it does) travel on same road as cars and bikes on sideline. Entire lane is practically wasted in this. Isse acha waha bade wale aam k ped laga dete, chav bhi milti aam bhi milte.

First visit

Wow India so develop

Israel is also ancient but its infrastructure is good

Aur in sabke baad ek ghatiya traffic signal laga diya jata hai jiski zarurat to thi hi nahi balki uski vajah se traffic jam alag ho jata hai,it's irritating,ajkal to har jagah signal dal diya hai,signal tod dene se traffic jam mein fasne se bach jata hu.

I think the best and most effective way to solve this problem would be to upgrade the public transport system. The problem with the American system is that even if u have to go like 800 m u have to take a car because they make so wide rodes. and it can just induce more traffic to the city because people will buy cars for transport rather than using public transport and the city will end up having congestion after 4 or 5 years and it will be way worse than before. and it is bad for the local economy

Europe me cities me road hamare roads se bhi narrow hai but waha pe strict rules ko follow karte hai aur one way system use hota hai....hamare yaha one way banae toh bhi usme bike Wale wrong side se lekar hi jaemge

Age of cities is not a factor for indian cities to be like this and dosent justifies worst Town planning policies and peoples lack of asthetics.. None of the big 7-8 metro cities were there 300-400 years ago except for Delhi which existed for 1000 years, the part of Delhi which is old is only 1/10th of current size of Delhi. So no justification for Bad Town Planning. Even After Independence many cities were smaller in size as compared to their present form, but no proper town planning was followed and executed, hapazard development with no regards to law was allowed by the government (both elected and opposition) in all states.It also not about the govenment, we Indian's as a whole dosent actually have any problem with mess around us and always we try to break rules within our own limits. So actually no one to blame, a society deserves to be as they are.

Missing a big point here our one city has more population than their entire country. India is actually way ahead than them with what we have.

you forgot that Europe got bombed completely flat in WW1 and WW2, so almost all their cities are new as well. Mostly rebuilt in the 50s

Try making a video on why India has bad wiring systems and webbing of wires

Chinese civilisation is also old but still their roads are world class better then European and American cities… we Indian are experts in giving excuses …never try to implement and improve anythin

Every one is praising Chandigarh and Indore for wide roads. Check out Bhubaneswar and its urban planning.

I live in Guwahati city. All the footpath are occupied by the local vendors. Its a serious issue but no one cares

i dont think it is good to compare our cities to american cities but rather to compare them with europian ones as even these cities have a long history and narrow roads

Aisa is liye ha kyonki europe 2nd world war m khatam ho gye the jiske baad inko fir se new style m basaya gya tha । 1950 ke baad sabhi city ko planning ke sath basaya gya tha । Is liye ye itne stylish aur develop ha ।

"Ultra bad planning" Bhai planning he kab hooi thi😭😭😭😭😭

u did not talk about china and japan which i was looking for. 🤷‍♂

😊👍 Hey

समस्या ये नही है कि हमारे शहर बहुत पुराने है समस्या ये है कि समय के साथ हमारी सरकारों ने नए शहर नही बनाये न ही एग्जिस्टिंग शहरों में प्लानिंग नाम की कोई चीज़ हुई।

Gareeb desh ke Ameer politicians ne city plan kertey time thodi socha tha ki aam admi gadi khareedne ki aukat rakh payega. Congress ne Jo mehnat ki thi Bharat ko gareeb rakhne me usi ka nateeja hai. Ager acchi sadke hotey toh log karobar bdhatey fir kis gareeb janta se vote mangti congress?
