Been watching Polymatter for years now, never thought I'd be seeing my own streets in a video. Being born and raised in Gurgaon, I never realised this isn't how cities are supposed to be. I used to think it's normal to have slums next to a mall. Only in the past couple years have I realised the extent of the disparities those not as fortunate as me have faced. This inspired me and now I'm studying economics, hoping to understand the very place I've lived in.

Correction. Gurgaon accounts for 30 percent of the tax revenue collected by the state govt. Not the federal govt. Unlike other federal countries, the central govt here collects more taxes than all the states combined. Mainly because of Goods and Services Tax. They compensate the states a few billion dollars each, every year.

Northern states suffer from governance issues while we in the south have institutional rot. As for gst revenue going to those two states, it's a Destination based tax, it's not that government is taking money away from the southern states and giving it to the north, the north consumes more goods than south, they're just getting back what they paid to the government in so far as GST is concerned, infact prior to gst it was unjust on northern states who were actually paying taxes but all money went to western and southern states. Which is why west and south indian state developed and the north remained in poverty, fyi the biggest opposition to gst was from the state of Gujarat who rightly saw the implications of GST.

@@hazardeur Dude these are first world problems. Most people have to worry about getting a job(if you're young), managing daily budgets, educating their children and other such things. Most people you meet on YT are atleast somewhat economically better off compared to the average Indian because they know English. Cleanliness will only come when basic struggles are eased. And when an atmosphere like that is created, even many well off people stop caring(since it's dirty anyway so they might as well save the hassle). That coupled with the fact that it's very hard to impose fines on cleanliness(again, because corruption) makes it a very hard challenge to solve. We've made some progress on that front recently but there's still a long way to go, specially in the economically weaker "slum" areas of urban cities

What happened was, back when Congress was the central government. DLF wanted to buy a lot of land for development purposes. So, the government instead of selling it directly to DLF did some trickery (corruption and bureaucracy) and sold the land to Robert Wadra who was son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi at a very cheap price. Mr. Wadra then went ahead and sold the land to DLF builders, making huge profits. That's why DLF owns a lot of land in Gurugram.

Seems to be me, it could have been a good city. But it requires people to pay taxes, and for those taxes to stay inside the local area in order to provide services to that local area. Instead of the taxes going to a "state" and then the state distribute it else where. This would force the other cities in the sate to improve their situation so that they could also have lots of taxes to work with. Also most taxes should come from people being productive, NOT from real estate development (sale of land etc.), but rather from civilians being healthy, having a good education or skill so they are productive at work.

But when Capital reached, they were looking for an established place and here Gurgaon won . Even today Architects in India are taught at their universities about Gurgaon as the example how not to built a city.

(context: have lived in Gurgaon for 6 months) One issue is the lack of green spaces, trees, parks etc. Because green spaces were never incentivised to be built, the whole city is basically concrete (save from small pockets of green inside residential complexes) There is a lot of disconnect inside the city; what i mean is slums-next-to-high-rise type of scenario The drainage system is great if you are in a privately built residential complex, but for everywhere else it's a joke. Even the main highway practically becomes a river whenever it rains (ironically right next to high rises and offices) The railway station is outside the city, like 40-45 minutes drive. I used to board a metro, go to Delhi and take a train from there instead of going to Gurgaon's station Pollution, due to the lack of green cover, heavy traffic, private generators and dust everywhere In short, if you are affluent and your lifestyle is primarily going out clubbing/restros/bars, then it is great. For everyone else, it sucks

@Titan Rising Greenery can be implemented even in big cities, if planned correctly. Chandigarh is such an example, it has 1 million people and still a sprawling green cover. It helps with pollution levels, and especially with mitigating the urban hear island effect, also the ground provides water absorption, helping with the rainwater. Lastly, it also prevents dust storms from becoming severe due to lose soil As for pollution, a robust public transport system can help with that, which is again severely lacking in GGN.

We have our own Gurgaon in Indonesia. The "city" is just outside Jakarta and comprises 6 big private property developers, spread across 2 cities and 1 district. The place is called Tangerang, and those 6 private property developers have their own "island" with self-sustaining public infrastructures. The property developers built those infrastructures (road, sewage, water treatment centre, parks, and shopping malls) to boost property prices. Moreover, the public infrastructure was maintained using the city's maintenance fund, paid by the residents each month to the developer and not to the state's administrative government.

The true reality is that other state governments are investing a lot of effort in their own IT Hubs. Maharashtra already has Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, yet they are developing Pune. Telangana has Hyderabad which it is developing with all its might. Same with Bangalore in Karnataka. These cities are building extensive metro systems, ring road systems, elevated arterial traffic cooridoors. Building colleges and universities. Working on land-laws. There's dedicated effort towards developing them as IT Hubs and startup paradise. Hell even cities like Coimbatore and Mysore are also seeing their own small IT booms!

2:30 the car wasn't a failure, they just haven't made any car in the 11 years of development as they were looking for a joint venture with a foreign experienced manufacturer for the expertise, Sanjay Gandhi died in 1980 and in 1981, they struck a deal with Suzuki for a joint venture, and the Maruti Suzuki 800 and its iterations were the best selling car in India for 20 years starting 1985. Maruti Suzuki was owned by Indian Government with a minority stake owned by Suzuki until 2003 when the government privatized the company and Suzuki bought the stake.

I live there and all you say is true. However, I would like to add that living in particular areas where bureaucrats have themselves taken up property is even more convenient for living as their water, sewage, electricity are all regularised. The one upside has been the real estate price spike that happened two decades ago for whoever bought at the time. Of course, sadly every day of living here you know if you were to try even on your own you would want to do a lot better in terms of building a modern, well-functioning city. Thanks for making this video.

I've been living in Delhi who visits Gurgaon rather often and I had no idea. There was something strange about the city and all its insane high rise building and just a general lack of any proper drainage systems. I didn't know it was due to a lack of government. Wouldn't the government of Haryana have jurisdiction over Gurgaon? This doesn't make sense. EDIT: Upon research, I'm correct, Gurgaon does have a government that operates, it's more of them not doing much and privates going "I'll do it myself" It's not a private city. There are still government structures. The same governments that gave these private companies the permission to build. Rapid Metro is also no longer privately owned and operated as of 2021. While the details are true, the thesis of Gurgaon being a private city with no government is just false and clickbait. It's not private owned, it's private built.

This is a true story, some Gurgaon-residents are super rich while in the country side, the folks are struggling, since the countryside is not very fertile.

Gurgaon became a cyberhub of india and developed, and it's no surprise to me that all this has happened just because gurgaon *lacked a government and bureaucracy.* Which proves that they are the main reason why development is slow in different cities of india with a proper government.
