The city I’ve chosen is New Delhi, the capital of India. In many ways it is a small reflection of most parts of India. Owing to its image as a land of opportunities, many people from varied cultures, backgrounds, regions and religions come here each year which has resulted in a blended society. It is a haven for foodies as there is a wide variety of cuisines and experiences available from multi cuisine or specialized fine dining restaurants to dhabas and from clubs to cafes etc.
As far as infrastructure is concerned, there has been a huge burst in the last few years. The face of the city has changed due to the development of new and better roadways, the metro etc. Many historic sites in the city are now being maintained and conservation processes are being carried out to make sure the rich past of this great city is not lost. This in turn has resulted in a boost in tourism as well. The per capita income of the residents of Delhi has been on a constant rise with every passing year which results in more spending power which has further led to a humongous increase in the number of cars on the roads in Delhi.
Being a cosmopolitan, Delhi has an acute shortage of roads and parking spaces. Having said that, I want to bring to notice the enormous problem that is caused by the numerous cars that are bought anew and driven each day in the city. The number and space of the roads remains constant, unlike the number cars that are bought
Also, like other urban cities, New Delhi is also plagued by other problems like being notorious and having a reputation of being unsafe for women. Corruption has leaked into the system like poison at each level.
