QA : Why Is Chennai So Lagging Behind All Other 3 Metro Cities ( Mum , Kol , Del)in Every Feilds ?




Chennai is firstly dirty .extreamly dirty all rail way stations so dirty every where its is dirty and smelly and no one can feel like a metro city enthu in it?
Chennai India now rarely heard which was once a large south indi port Madras i am from Mumbai .. i visited all 4 cities recently i seen change every where but not in that extent in chennai i can say some facts like
1) Mumbai ( GDP 122 Billion US Dollar ) commercial capital of india sky scrapers and metro rail under construction with It sector . Maharastra ( 13 % of indian Economy ) 1 st ranks GDp growth rate of state is 7.5% 4th fastest in country after Karnataka West Bengal and
Gujrat . Mumbai has got Bardra worli sea link and will get metro rail also so many sky scrapers under constuction. so its best i guess.ricchest peoples of india lives in mumbai its the main and fore most hug for world trade with western countries . India’s world trade centre is located here .
2) Kolkata ( GDP 101 Billion US Dollar ) commercial capital of Whole east india and north east 3 ports and West Bengal 3rd largest Economy in the country after Maharastra and UP .. GDP growth rate 2nd fastest in country which is over 9 % bustling IT sector growth ,indias biggest shopping mall, Chinese investment flooding already under ground metro running , Kolkata Under Water ganges Metro will be first time in asia and India again Kolkata will be getting the first Sky Rail ( like Japan) in india. Sky scraper construction is booming with dozens of over 50 storeys under construction and approved dozens of flyover changed the sky line( dominated by 83 storey kolkata office tower planned ) of the city to make it the real gate way to south asia .
3)New Delhi( 100 GDP US Dollar) highest per capita income , worl class standards metro rail , national capital of india showing healthy growth . India’s talles tower is planned in delhi . highest car purchaseing market . posh localities which are mosre posh that even mumbai and kolkata . world class malls real booming skyline and roads and business capital of entire north india . high class metro rail which is better than looks than kolkata metro . highest percapita income in country high gowth and dozens of flyovers is really changing the face of capital of india .
i seen in chennai growth has occured but not so dynamic like delhi mumbai or kolkata where visual spurt in growth is observed … is chennai loosing its position among the other three metros ..is a power triangle forming conneting west, east, north which is excluding chennai .

    waw thats awesome seeing ur research on the 3 metros of india , but without any stasticical information of chennai u can conclude this topic ,
    now ill give some a year old stasticical data and some photos of present chennai, since recently none have any latest stasticical readings. then we can conclude that Chennai is most lagging among metros ,
    cleanliness – i cant say chennai is very clean compared to other metros , but i am sure , chennai is working for the best, do to the high migration in to the city , though they face some problem , progress of their work is the best of all,Chennai was rated as having the highest quality of life among Indian cities ahead of the other three metros and Bangalore, based on the “Location Ranking Survey” conducted by ECA International.Chennai has improved its global ranking to 138 in 2006-07 from 179 in 2002-03. It is now ranked at 26th position in Asia in terms of livability, up from 31st rank in 2002-03.[2] According to a 2007 worldwide quality of life survey done by Mercer, Chennai received the second highest rating in India[3], with New Delhi scoring the highest(SOURCE WIKI, sorry kolkatta and mumbai are missing in it)
    economically :Chennai has a diversified economic base anchored by the automobile, software services , medical tourism, hardware manufacturing and financial services. Other important industries include petrochemicals, textiles and apparels
    to be in particular -The city is India’s second largest exporter of software, information technology (IT) and information-technology-enabled services (ITES). A major chunk of India’s automobile manufacturing industry is based in and around the city.and Chennai accounts for 60 per cent of the country’s automotive exports and is referred to as the Detroit of South Asia(source wiki)
    sky scrapers are not the keys to estimate the city’s growth , sky scrapers are not allowed in side Chennai city (unfortunately u have to change ur calculations )
    and about your metro rails , chennai is the best of rail infrastructure , having one of the best routes within the city , it has fly over trains + electric trains, and metro tracks are under construction (http://www.chennaimetrorail.gov.in/)- and one of the high-tech and costliest Secretariat is being under process by German architects in Chennai, soon in months it will be opened ,.
    having around 31 shopping malls ,multiplx(http://www.spiritofchennai.com/shopping/… than 5 amusement parks ,team and water parks, Asia’s largest bur terminus , Asia’s largest hospital ,
    as i said ill show some photos check it out,

    these above are only two places of chennai ,
    since chennai is piled with urben and rural areas and some panjats even its stupid to expect more, chennai is 118 kms which include all rural and village areas even , u have to understand one thing in common ,. if you thinks metro can only be considered by their western style of living , then Chennai is exception , Chennai grows with tradition and culture ,
    At last the best part of Chennai is, the crime rate , chennai is the safest place compared to all metro city ( can u refuse it )?

    seems like all people from comming with diffrent Ids and writeing the same facts again and again get a life loosers rather than writting again and again
    Kolkata started sky rail and towering sky scrapers constructions
    and for women Kolkata is safest with its high sex ratio http://www.telegraphindia.com/1081011/jsp/nation/story_9953349.jsp
    Kolkata has the highest per capita income per purchaseing power
    http://www.livemint.com/2009/06/18231222/Kolkata-has-highest-purchasing.html
    delhi has highest sales of cars and highest per capita income . major road fascilities
    70% of business houses headquatered in mumbai dozens of towering construction .
    the only thing chennai has is nothing no sky scrapers no metro rail till date gdp growth rate inferior to all 3 metros . so as the GDP ..huge rate female infanticide in whole tamil nadu and delhi . dirt dust dats it .

    Please do not write a question which no one would read.
    Chennai is not lagging.
    I am from Kolkata and visited all the metros at least 25 times each and also visited at least 100 other places in India and abroad and I can say Kolkata is most lagging. Chennai is absolutely of as per Indian standard.

    cause Chennai is not cosmopolitian in nature its full with tamils where as in mumbai Kolkata and NCR you will find its cosmopolitian nature people from all over the country coming there .
    again no mordern cities are planned near chennai as in the case of Mumbai , navi mumbai world largest planned city fast growing
    Kolkata , Salt lake City and Extension , Rajarhat Mega city
    NCR , Noida , Gurgaon
    all these the cities have towering constructions with many skyscrapers and metro rail and under water metro and even sky rail( Kolkata) Planned in these three cities
    see the links you will find 70% tall construction in mumbai
    remain 20% in Kolkata and rest in NCR r Hyderabad r ahemdabad
