Delhi, India's MEGACITY: Capital of a Billion People

One of the major reason why Delhi is like this is because of Urban Land Ceiling Act 1976, it was a socialist act made to stop large private companies to not buy large plots of land and develop it by themselves, the land would be in control by the government who would distribute it equally but refused to develop these lands...this is a major reason why in the main cities you cannot see skyscrapers, the planned development and highrises are only present in the city outskirts which have been developed since this anti-development socialist law was repealed in 1992...

16:23 Now that AAP has won in Punjab, which is the major source of crop burning, it will be interesting to see what the AAP govt does to counter it, as they have always been blaming the crop burning in punjab as a major source of pollution in Delhi.

Visiting Delhi was the worst travelling experience in my life. The pollution was something I've never experienced. The amount of scammers was staggering. I don't care about the money hustled... but experiencing all the deceiving and dishonesty was just sad as we just curious about their culture and lives they live. Glad we got out of there after a few days. Luckily I enjoyed other parts of northern India we visited and met some lovely people

This documentary should be a wake up call for city planners in India.. Wonderful explanation! Loved it!

i like how u showed both the developing and undeveloped sides of Delhi while covering the topic instead of BBC and CNN where all they show is large slums and drainage

Only words which could describe our development "we started late, all this should have started long back "🙏❤️

For a six month period between 1998 and 1999, I spent quite a lot of time in Delhi. As a backpacker I saw the best and worst of what the city had to offer, but it had an undeniable spirit and heart. I’m really glad to see some of the positives that this well-researched video highlights so eloquently. All the best to Delhi and the whole of India.

Great video! I definitely learned some new things about India. Good to see the country slowly moving in the right direction.

there are a lot to learn what India did in last 20 years taking on the biggest challenges that humans ever faced in their history, glad to see this report about Delhi and how they are trying to solve some of the problems a mega city can face. very very long way to go but still good job Delhi from Pakistan

As an American who has been to India twice, my love for your country and her people is immense. I hope all of India’s dreams come true and that all of her people reach the highest prosperity. I have traveled all over this world and I can honestly say that in all my travels there isn’t a more special place to be found. 💞💞💞💞💞

New delhi Central Delhi: heart of delhi and most developed aera Especially Cannaught Place it's time square of Delhi South West: Rich Aera with some unauthorised Nabour and with international Airport South: Rich!!!! South East: also rich and boarding Delhi NCR's most developed city(Noida) East: UNAUTHORISED NORTH EAST: ALSO UNAUTHORISED NORTH: ALSO THE SAME NORTH WAST: finally some planned Aera (Rohini) WEST: Cheapest but Unauthorised NCR: finally some 150m-300m tall skyscrapers

Having lived in Delhi noida gurgaon for quite some time this seems to be quite well researched and un biased video. Well done brother..

"It has major problems in inequality" Yes. There are now super wealthy people who are lifting up the rest of the country with them. A small % of the population is creating immense wealth and opportunities. India is heading in a positive direction. Has been doing so for a while now. The future is bright, despite the many issue they have.

12:44 He is lying here. Many people actually want it to be like that but it does not happen. So many projects are stuck in the land accusation phase. It's so easy to stop infra projects by denying to sell land and then asking 10-15 times of the actual value. So many projects have been canceled as costs keep rising because of the delay.

I missed these documentaries! Main reason I subbed to you. Glad to see them coming back

I really appreciate the hard work you did to cover the historic background or Delhi , demonstrating the future and showing excellent view of present Delhi.

My India Great India will be the world leader once again! We are coming !! The expressways and metro constructions are at a record pace. The rail freight network is being expanded across the nation. The contributions from solar and wind energy are increasing day by day. The manufacturing sector is gaining momentum, especially mobile manufacturing, car manufacturing, etc. We are becoming more self-reliant and I believe that India has the power to move from a developing nation to a developed nation in the next 25-30 years and once that happens it will change the global perception of India

I really don't think electric cars are the 'solution' to a city of 32.1million people, projected to grow to 40 million. Western cities are just now starting to realise the error of their ways--or in Amsterdam's case, they've known for half a century--now is absolutely the worst possible time to make as colossal a mistake as investing in the automobile.

The music sent goosebumps through my spine. I grew up in Delhi, lived there for 23 years before moving out last year. I miss my home and I wish to go back soon.

6:51 the man speaking is himself accused of many scams and many cases are pending on him. Indians and the irony 😂😂
