Cities Are Experiments in Constant Motion — India Is Finally Moving #urbanindia

Why are Indian cities such a mess? The answer isn't corruption or incompetence alone — it's timing.
In 1947, India's priorities were survival: build the army, feed the farmers. Then came institutions — IITs, ISRO, Bhakra Nangal. Then public housing. Cities only became a real focus after economic liberalization in the early 1990s. That's barely 30–40 years of serious urban attention.
Compare that to London — once one of the most disease-ridden, squalid cities in the world before it cleaned itself up. Or Paris — chaotic and disease-infested before Baron Haussmann redesigned it from the ground up.
Every great city went through its ugly phase. Cities are experiments in constant motion.
India is finally reaching its turning point. We'll make mistakes — unnecessary flyovers, premature metros — but the direction is changing.
And that's enough reason to be hopeful.
"You can never be disappointed in a city. Cities will be redone and recreated all the time."
