Mumbai is not looking bad if you look at the highrises...but high rise blocks doesn't mean better town planning, better infra structure, more livable and lovable. Better public transport, water and utilities and many other things. Shanghai was developed after a proper master plan, have read it, all the cities in China has developed after a proper master plan is developed.
If you look at the most livable cities in world, like Vienna, Oslo, there is hardly any skyscraper of high rises, other cities like Adelaide and Melbourne are also most livable cities in the world and they have just a cluster or two of high rise, but the urban sprawl is big, with large open areas and gardens.
High rise doesn't mean better life...on the contrary it could be the opposite if they are mostly apartment blocks and not office blocks. It means less availability of land for urban sprawl...just like Mumbai facing the land crunch.
Mumbai looks more like Karachi...
Karachi newly developed Bahria Town, spread over 12,000 acres, a satellite town near Karachi.
Karachi rising slowly...
