The heterogeneity of Indian cities.

In Indian cities, what is called convenience or well-being is now a kind of illusion. Not only that but we are now used to living with that illusion. That is, even after many bitter experiences of the realities of urban life, we convince our minds that there is a lot of fun here. Indian cities are not regulated or controlled by anyone. They are developing haphazardly. And the man is so trapped and trapped in it that today he does not know how he is going to leave this city for his children. The vision of the future of our cities is daunting. In the past decade, Indian urbanites have increased their outings to play in the lap of nature. Even a small stream flowing from the hills would attract thousands of people on Sundays. This is the new thirst. The biggest problem of city citizens is that where nature flourishes, there are no jobs and where there are jobs, deadly carbon dioxide is increasing.

It is a pity that our cities do not figure anywhere in the list of good cities of the world. Good cities are those where any citizen of the world wants to live forever. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) frequent report and the Global Liveability Index, Delhi and Mumbai have been pushed further back. There is not a single Indian city in the first hundred cities of the world. Still we have not been able to build a good campus or even a good premises, why talk about a great and effective urban system? The reason for this is our city culture. It is still our tendency to show good from the outside that has brought all the cities to the third class level from the inside. Until every citizen realizes that this city is my home, there is no possibility of salvation of any city in our country.

Capital New Delhi's ranking has dropped because air pollution and crime have increased significantly in the last one year. However, not much has changed yet. Similarly, Mumbai has started to fail in the field of culture and environment. Our cities are also starting to lose the distinct identity they had in the past decades. Today it is not the Calcutta nor the Mumbai it once was. Now those old memories have remained in the minds of the old generation. The EIU index evaluates cities against specific criteria. They mainly include sustainability, environment, healthcare, culture, education and infrastructure. A city achieves well-planned urban culture only if it is taken care of when it starts its journey from town to city. Once a city has begun to grow through its obesity, not much can change.

Citizens are seen wandering in Indian cities. The time they estimate from home to finish work and return home is wildly wrong. These cities have now started taking up so much of our time that if you count the sum of it in weeks and then years, it becomes a very important part of life. Everyone knows this anomaly by experience, but no one has yet come up with a way to escape from the chaos of urban traffic. Many infotech companies in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad are now encouraging their top engineers to work from home. Even before the start of the Corona period, they work from home because of traffic. In Bangalore, hour-long traffic jam scenes have started happening every day. The top ten in the index always proudly includes the cities of Australia and Canada.
