In this episode of Facts & Figures, we explore the state of Delhi’s urban planning and the contrasting realities between Lutyens' Delhi and the rest of the city. Despite being marketed as a model city, Delhi faces a multitude of infrastructural issues that highlight the failure of town planning. From traffic jams caused by inadequate road designs and poor parking facilities to flooded streets during the monsoon due to an inadequate drainage system, Delhi's infrastructure is under constant strain. The episode takes a deep dive into the city's history of urban planning, starting with the British-era planning concepts and leading up to the modern Master Plans. The role of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in shaping the city's growth is examined, with a focus on the failure to implement these plans effectively. The episode also touches on the disparity between Lutyens' Delhi, which is well-maintained for the elite, and the rest of Delhi, where 90% of the population lives in neglect. The discussion highlights how issues like inadequate public transport, waste management, and unregulated urbanization continue to plague the city. The narrative questions whether Delhi is being planned for the common citizen or for the political elite, and whether true progress is ever realized for the city's people. Watch this episode to understand how failed planning has led to Delhi's current chaotic and unlivable state and what needs to change to make the city work for everyone.
