But then the fact of the matter is that they do lack infrastructure and a lot of that is because of government policies.
I agree, every city of India deserves to be there just because of the Traffic Chaos. I was in Bombay in 2008 and have regularly seen BEST (City) Buses jumping RED Lights with Pandu smiling & waving at the Driver. Not just Jumping Straight but making Right. Before this 2008 trip, I always thought that Bombay Traffic is much better and disciplined. But not to be and all that Honking. I still believed n travelled thr Train - to save time. I can still take Train Chaos.
I think Riyadh has made it to list because of its lack of respect for Non-Islamic & Female popullation and top it up with conservative & strict conduct.

When was the last time you were in New Delhi? I was there in Dec 2007 and gone to all the places you have mentioned. Looks just ifne and they have been taken care.
Frankly, I think the capital of our country deserves better, much better.
I can't understand how you find nothing wrong with the way our national heritage is being maintained in New Delhi.
You actually believe Qutub Minar is getting the care it deserves?
It is one of the oldest standing monuments in our country, yet it gets no better treatment than a public urinal.
I'm sorry to be harsh, but I grew up not far from Qutub Minar.
As kids, we used to go there very often.
That was the time that you could go up to the very top of the tower.
Same for Red Fort, although it is newer than Qutub Minar.
If you compare those sites with the ones in the USA or Canada, these guys preserve and care for even the silliest or flimsiest of monuments, no more than 100 or 150 years old.
The construction and traffic situation in Delhi may (or may not) resolve itself after a couple of years, but someone needs to control the rate of development in that city.
It is out of control.
Quote:Surely, that can't be the only criteria for judging a city.
Did you know that there are thousands of whites work/live in Delhi?
Whites living and working there means nothing.
Whites live and work almost everywhere in the world.
Anyhow, I think we are wasting too much bandwidth on an inconsequencial article

I lived in Riyadh too. I would rate it the worst in the world. I was hardly happy despite the money. Worst by all means.

I don’t know about other cities, but Bangalore definitely deserves to be on the list.
I’ve lived in Bangalore for 4 years and the traffic and sanitation in the city is a mess. It takes hours to drive through a few city blocks during peak hours and at times I used to walk to work to avoid all these chaos.
The Bangalore metro rail project is still under construction stage when this project should have been implemented decades ago.
The new International airport is located 40 km outside the city and it takes around 3 hours to reach the city from the airport whereas the flight duration between Chennai-Bangalore itself is less than an hour. What a joke of infrastructure?
As check-in for international flights start 3 hours prior to the departure time, an international traveler has to start at least 5 hours prior to the departure time to reach Bangalore airport and clear all the check in/immigration formalities and board the flight on time. Even the travelers to JFK Airport, the busiest airport in the world, don’t go through such an ordeal to reach the airport.
In 2004, Infosys, Wipro and a few other software companies had threatened to quit Bangalore owing to the city’s poor infrastructure (Refer link below).

The situation still remains the same and the only achievement of the Karnataka govt. with regards to Bangalore was the renaming of the city from “Bangalore” to “Bengaluru”. That’s it! Their mission has been accomplished and everybody went back to their deep slumber.
