Yups, Metro and IGI airport are amazing

i dint like the old airport. seen few mishaps

 

[kaykay]

Have all of those, wide roads= LRR , spread out metro network= Rapid Bus Transit phase 1 27km long 90% complete (can later put train tracks on the route to make it a rail system), Phase 2 construction starts soon, flyovers= tons of them ranging from 1 to 8 Km long, the only things missing in Lahore are; a world class airport (current one is over crowded already) and tall skyscrapers.

BRTs can't be compared with metro.....anyway delhi has it's own BRT too along with metro....

I have to say delhi is one hell of an India world class cities. WOrld class airport, top metro system, amazing brts system, world class racing track for F1, open and wide roads and tons of heritage and cultural sites all over the city. Don't know how Delhi achieved all this. Other cities follow.

Well I do remember some members of Ajoka who had visited Delhi last year saying "Delhi is like Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi combined and then making the combined city much more modern". I do believe that with time, Pakistani cities will get better. Delhi receives huge budgetary funds each year which makes it a good city. To give an example, just the Delhi Jal Board (water department) budget last year was at $700 million.

Man.....that is a very big amount, even karachi's city govt's budget is around $400mn, which includes all the dept (water, sewerage, infrastructure, roads, and everything that comes under city govt).

It is because Jal board serves Delhi NCR which is a small state comprising many cities of the size of Karachi.

Are you sure?

Because Lahore got 411 million dollar for fiscal year 2012 - 2013.

Rs40 billion LDA budget approved | The Nation

I am going to Delhi for the last One Day Match , all suggestions for entertainment from Delhites would be highly appreciated?

Cheers

Do not take any females with you, but if you do, never let them be alone. Avoid West Delhi and Gurgaon for night-outs. Converse in English, avoid Urdu/Hindi. Let people know you are visitor from Pakistan - that helps a lot.

Lahore has a GDP per capita of 5000 USD.

Delhi has a GDP per capita of 3315 USD.

^^ Delhi GDP per capita is taken from the report of Planning Commission of India for the year 2011–12.

While the report of Lahore is old and its GDP per capita is increased now.

Delhi has twice the population of Lahore with same land area. The major factor contributing to the ever swelling population of Delhi is inward migration that works as a growth engine helping the poor raise their income and living standards.

Actually area wise Lahore is a little bigger.

Lahore is 1772 square kilometers.

Delhi is 1484 square kilometers.

But i agree about the population.
