Has Lahore overtaken Colombo and Islamabad as the cleanest city in South Asia?

[ethan hunt]

I certainly think so . Lahore wasn't all that bad to begin with but recently it has gone through a major facelift and some of the newer localities are absolutely top notch . Islamabad to me is just too small compared to the other major cities and even if you disregard the size i think over the years it has lost it's shine a tad bit . Still top notch by South Asian standards though . In terms of size and cleanliness the only real competitor to Lahore has to be Colombo . Any PPer from Srilanka who has been to Lahore(Pakistan) in the last few months ??

Indian and Bangladeshi cities need a major makeover . Even the bigger ones like Mumbai , Delhi , Dhaka , and kolkata have terrible aesthetics.

This Indian scholar on South Asian affairs seems to agree somewhat.

Agreed. Indian cities are at the bottom of the pile, with Delhi being the 'best' of a very sorry bunch.

Using the entire budget of a province generally results in massive development in a city.

Lahore still has quite a way to go to beat Karachi economically but in terms of modern infrastructure there really is no comparison in Pakistan. The Metro bus, the metro train and the ring road all are first world level infrastructure.

 

[sjahmed23]

As a karachi wala I must admit I am a bit jealous of the video above ^^^

 

[Slog]

Lahore is actually pretty clean if you go to the right areas

And infrastructure is up to date

Obviously if a budget of 100 million people is spent on a city of 11 million you expect such results

 

[Slog]

Wouldnt cities like Chandigarh, Bangalore be cleaner though?

its all roads and underpasses and bridges though

hopefully they also start investing in education, health, police force. Even if its Lahore only.

Someone should post the heart of lahore pics i mean NA120 and you will think it's a different city

Thanks to the by election the nooras are under pressure and doing work in this area too. Here is an example of their quick work to win election tomorrow

Kulsoom was going to win easily even without this lalach because the mindset of typical Lahoris specially NA120 is ke yeh izat ka masla he Nawaz Sharif ko jitana he baaqi humaare halaat behter hon ya na hon sher ko jeetna chahiye. This was clearly the trend in all surveys of NA120 now it's just about the lead if it's going to be 10k 20k or more.

I havent followed this as much as previous elections for this reason

but any shows where reporters have gone and conducted a poll type video where they ask ppl on street?

 

[big_gamer007]

This is something which we need to learn from our Pakistani brothers.. We as Indians like to blame authorities but we ourselves throw waste on the roads even if the dustbin is 1metre away from you..

Same people when they go out of India follow all the rules of cleaniness so it's not like we can't follow but more like everyone is dirtying it so ill dirty the city too..

[CanadianG00se]

I dont know much about Lahore or any Pakistani cities but in India, Ahemdabad has to be the cleanest city along with Rajkot and Surat. In last 20 odd years Gujarat have made tremendous improvement in its infrastructure and its motorway has to be best in India.

Mumbai due to its large slums has to be at the bottom of the table

 

[kingusama92]

Lahore was average when I went in 2003.

But 14-15 years is a long time.

They seem to have done a lot of work in developing it.

Karachi could be developing too but unfortunately Bhutto is still alive.

 

[Enigma_]

Yes. After I went there myself I can vouch for it being the most clean city in South Asia. But the massive population is such a problem (not just for Lahore though - but the entire country). Unfortunately the theology in the state means that people think more people = ummah increasing. Women are merely baby making machines.

The traffic seems much better than Delhi and Bangalore. When I visit those cities, I tend to just stay wherever I am because I do not want to deal with traffic.

Problem for Indian cities is that while the private sector is growing fast, the government expands infrastructure at its own pace. Of course, bad traffic is also a sign of economic development. India produces more than 20X number of motor vehicles Pakistan does.

Well obv India will produce multiple times as many vehicles as Pakistan esp since many manufacturers have set up their own plants in India

obv i dont have figures but i would think the number of cars on streets of karachi and lahore is comparable to the number in mumbai and delhi

 

[Varun]

Chandigarh is a planned city, but is really small - both in size and population.

Bangalore had fantastic advantages - its excellent weather being among them - but was the first city to globalize when the IT companies set up shop here in the 1990s. The population has more than tripled and it's now a glorified junkyard. Decent nightlife, however.

Delhi is an absolute monster, no other South Asian city compares to it. The number of cars registered in Delhi is now over 10 million:

http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/na...les-in-delhi-crosses-1-crore-mark/417394.html

This doesn't include parts of the Delhi Metro area that lie in other states like Gurgaon (Haryana) and NOIDA (UP). Adding these could increase the total by 50%.

In comparison Karachi probably has about 4 million (based on it having 3.5 million 3 years ago and assuming a growth rate of 5%):

[WhenSultansBowled]

Sorry to rain on my fellow Pakistanis'/Lahoris' parade here but Lahore (in 2015 when I visited Pak/Lhr): it was a complete mess.

The airport was worse than any 3rd class Romanian bus stop. Beggars everywhere, people (who were not waiting for anyone) sleeping everywhere, people bumping into each other, I feared for my luggage (I kid you not!) that someone might pick it up instead of me. Just 5 minutes drive outside of airport there are Pujab Police Jawans waiting for you to bribe em.

These are facts, observed by me. And I highly doubt anything has changed since then.

It's just showing some parts of Lahore. To see the opposite side of Lahore (the real old lahore) check the first video in post number 15. That area is the home constituency of our 3 times PM Nawaz Sharif and he and his party is winning that seat since 3 decades but did nothing in that area, people can't even get clean water there. After his disqualification there are by elections on that seat today and his wife is the candidate and they have been doing some quick work and patches in last few weeks to win this seat again.

Oh wow damn that is an extremely filthy place, so this whole thread is basically misinterpretation where only the clean area of a city is shown? Even Delhi has places which are very clean and greenery all around where the politicians live but overall the city is dirty Lahore seems the same from your video..

What are the chances of his wife winning? I never understand why people vote any leader after 1 term if he didn't do development in his first term.. Once someone gets elected you can't do much but at least in next elections you can throw him out..

She is definitely winning it thanks to the mindset of blind voters but now it's all about the victory lead to see if the court decision had any impact on voters of sharifs? Because Nawaz won with a lead of 40k votes from here in 2013. Want to know another interesting fact? She wasn't even in Pakistan to submit her to nomination papers last month in election commision and she is in London from last 1 month for treatment of cancer and today is election day but still we are not sure when she is returning. PMLN can't find a candidate out of sharif family! this isn't democracy this is demo-crazy

I wish we had an independent election commission like india with full power instead of a compromised one like now.

I am not from Lahore but it is the cultural centre in Subcontinent and a beautiful city. And the posters from Karachi needs to get over this jealousy factor and appreciate it as this is a part of Pakistan. Yes, the rulers have focussed too much on one city but at least they have done something for the city and not only filling just their own pockets (allthough they have robbed the country) PPP and MQM could also have done something for Karachi but they have ruined it, but as a pakistani I want Karachi to become again what it was known for : the city of lights and in sha Allah it will become that.

Delhi is not even in contention.
Notice how diplomats and guests compare the current state of Lahore to Colombo .
Yes being a southasian city it really isn't ideal but it still is miles cleaner than other southasian cities and some of the better localities are developed world standard .
The thing that i hate about lahore and other pakistani cities are the airports . Lahore has a terrible airport . Karachi has a somewhat decent one in pakistan . Indian airports in comparison are much much better . Good thing though is that the work has already started on the airport and by 2018 it would have gone through major renovations.

You nailed it .
I love karachi . The place has the most potential in pakistan and even the people there are the most liberal but the budget allocation is only one part of the problem and the issues are deeper but that is a thread for another day . I hate the PLMN as much as anyone else but there is no need for politics here .
Also to the guy that keeps on bringing NA 120 . I would hate for them to take away the soul of the old city . I like how they have gone about the renovations not that they had a choice because those people are super influential in the Lahore circles.

Ok so I'm reading contradicting views from Pakistanis here.. Some believe some parts of Lahore are extremely well kept and clean while other parts are filthy same is the case with Delhi as well.. Some like you believe it is truly a clean city which is comparable to the best of South Asia..

its the cleanest city in Pakistan for the most part with good infrastructure

most areas which a upper middle class or higher person (which I assume is most of PP) is likely to live in or spend most of their time in is likely to be clean with decent infrastructure. Ofcourse there are exceptions. On the other hand In Karachi and even Pindi there is garbage even in the 'posh'areas

But obv if you do a percent land mass comparison, more of Lahore is dirty than very clean. However I would assume that is the case with most South asian cities

I am only comparing it's present state to the rest of southasia.
Its obviously far behind by world standards.
Things you cannot argue against are that it has improved massively in the last few years . It has gone through a major overhaul without losing its soul which is very impressive . It took about 50 minutes to travel from a place like Samnabad to defence now it hardly takes 20 minutes . The roads are broader and cleaner from a few years ago . Even the old city has gone through operation cleanup without losing any of its charm . The food street is a prime example. The new localities are easily the best in Pakistan right now and absolutely world class .
If you travel regularly you would appreciate the changes.

Lahore is pretty clean without a doubt. Speaking from 2016's visit to Lahore, i found Lahore quite a livable city now. Roads are clean, There are malls opening up all over the town, international chains are opening their branches. security wise it's pretty safe as well.

 

[amax]

Lahore is top notch by South Asian standards and imo over the time people have developed a sense of entitlement of the city and try to keep it clean

 

[DW44]

Montages made specifically to make the city look good aside, no, it still has ways to go before it comes close to Islamabad. Islamabad has been on the decline since 2006-07, while Lahore's been on the way up since around 2008-09 but even now the gulf between the two cities as a whole (as opposed to just the shiny parts of each) is pretty big and not one a city of Lahore's size can easily make up for any time soon.

 

[Napa]

I certainly think so . Lahore wasn't all that bad to begin with but recently it has gone through a major facelift and some of the newer localities are absolutely top notch . Islamabad to me is just too small compared to the other major cities and even if you disregard the size i think over the years it has lost it's shine a tad bit . Still top notch by South Asian standards though . In terms of size and cleanliness the only real competitor to Lahore has to be Colombo . Any PPer from Srilanka who has been to Lahore(Pakistan) in the last few months ??

Indian and Bangladeshi cities need a major makeover . Even the bigger ones like Mumbai , Delhi , Dhaka , and kolkata have terrible aesthetics.

I hear the traffic condition in Karachi is abysmal hopefully this metro thing can help alleviate some congestion in the city.

Delhi and Karachi are mohajir cities. Their culture has immensely benefitted from the refugees across the border.

Mumbai is chaotic,dirty but even the slums there have more individuality then the entire south Asia,no offense,that city might be 0 on general knowledge but they are very creative,whether its arts or recycling Mumbai is remarkable.

As below Mumbai might be dirty but they can rap about it.

Same can be said about Slums in Chennai. Whats so special about Mumbai slums that is different from lets say your Chennai sllums ?

Why do we even have discrepancy between roads in india ? . Clearly quality is compromised thanks to correction.

Its probably local road contractors,I found the best roads in Ahemdabad Gujarat,the city in terms of logical infrastructure was ahead of all metros I ve been to.

Chennai and Kolkata too have that culture,the thing is Mumbai usually was ahead in owning up to its slums,Chennai just started now and they are getting their own individuality as wealth is increasing,even being jobless doesn't mean no food anymore unlike earlier years,so they are able to be more creative,Mumbai is probably 10-20 years ahead.

Only Delhi lives in denial.

Chandigarh has many Mohajirs as well,but luckily for that city Politicians didn't end up having their base there.

In chandigarh, the mohajirs continued the culture, while in delhi they replaced it.

No they made their own West Delhi culture,old Delhi is still alive in areas,ofcourse by culture I don't mean gaaliyaan.

Though I lived in Delhi for many decades, I never heard the Punjabi refugees being referred to as Mohajirs.

There is no point in comparing Pakistani cities with Delhi or Mumbai. They are different animals.

It is easier to be clean and pretty if there isn't much growth happening.

Literally the whole thread is full of posts telling you how much Lahore has developed over the last few years and than you come up with this gem .
So are you saying that Indian cities are dirty because of growth while Lahore is clean because there has been no development ?? Do you even realise how silly you sound ??
Lahore has far better roads than Dehli , Cleaner streets , better planned housing societies with far superior aesthetics . So what growth are you actually talking about apart from having more people and cars when the city itself looks poor in comparison.

Numbers obviously mean nothing to you. That explains why you deleted the numbers I gave while quoting my post. You win.

Islamabad is leagues ahead of any other Pakistani, Indian or Sri Lankan city you can name.

That's all nice and all, but people go to bed there at 7pm

On a serious note, no city in pakistan, sri lanka or bangladesh can compete with any of the top Indian cities, everything is on a way bigger scale here, sure the problems are bigger too but so are the perks, it's like comparing an elephant to an ant.

P.S. Chandigarh wipes the floor with ever other city in the world #FACT #GREATESTCITYONPLANETEARTH #TASHAN

You've got to be kidding me? Come visit any of Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi or even cities like Peshawar, Faisalabad or Multan and you'll know that they literally have no competition.

Yeah that's all cool but if we want, we can drive on desolated roads at 1 AM, Karachittes can't do that even if they want to. You don't have a choice.
