Lucknow is getting the basics right - and it shows!

Lucknow has some really well-planned features. The places that the metro connects; the hotel district and the local bus stand just outside the railway station; and traffic calming measures within densely populated areas indicate that someone planned the areas. These features make the city better. In this video, I have investigated the city from the eyes of someone who just arrived by train. To learn about the city, and to record the clips you see in this video, I traveled to Lucknow and stayed there for 3 days. Hope you will like it. Please share your thoughts about the city, and urban planning in general in the comment section. And if you are into history, I have recently started a Hindi channel to talk about the lesser known stories of Indian and American history.
