REALITY CHECK: It doesn’t take a cloudburst to paralyse our “smart” cities. A few hours of rain and Noida goes under, just as Gurugram did days ago. The problem isn’t the monsoon. It’s the failure to build cities that can withstand it. Not easy but better, more accountable urban... show more

The Democrats have a real problem with their messaging on President Trump’s actions to make Washington, D.C. and other cities safer. It’s fair to criticize how he did it and to offer better ideas, but it’s not right to suggest crime isn’t a major problem in many of America’s biggest cities.

A few days ago I used the phrase “legalize housing” and I saw that people had questions. The reality is, many cities and neighbourhoods don’t allow you to build the kinds of homes that are going to help solve the housing crisis. We’re working with cities to change that.

#WATCH | Noida, Uttar Pradesh: A calibration flight of the Airports Authority of India landed at the Noida International Greenfield Airport, Jewar Jewar BJP MLA Dhirendra Singh says, "Today is a historic day for Jewar, as the calibration flight landed at Noida International Airport. Just a few days ago, the Chief Minister visited and urged all officials to move forward with the airport's construction... After the calibration flight landed today, there are no longer any obstacles preventing it from receiving flight permission. I am hopeful that the public will soon be able to board aeroplanes from here." (Source: BJP MLA Dhirendra Singh)

Noida has quietly become the growth engine of Uttar Pradesh. CM Yogi Adityanath has visited the city over 25 times, breaking old political superstitions and signalling where the state’s economic future lies. From the upcoming Noida International Airport and one of India’s largest metro networks to seamless expressway connectivity, global investments and modern urban infrastructure, Noida is setting new benchmarks. Nine years ago, this transformation looked ambitious. Today, it is visible on the ground. Noida isn’t just expanding, it’s redefining what urban development in Uttar Pradesh can look like. #NoidaTheGrowthCorridor

India’s urban crisis isn’t just traffic jams and potholes, it’s a deeper failure of local governance. Without elected city leadership, financial autonomy and professional urban planning, our cities are bound to failure. A long-term institutional reset is the only way forward. Watch my podcast with Sharan Setty where we unpack the roots of this crisis, starting with Bengaluru. Link:

Our Android Instant App is here! Yep, they're not dead 😅. Share your location for 2 hours and let the receiver see the magic ✨. It was a blast to build (with a few headaches). We did it in a few days thanks to our modular codebase, but struggled a bit with the app size (~3MB).

"There's a tendency on our side (conservative) to just critique when things go wrong (in the City). Yes, crime is a problem. Yes, urban education needs to get better. But the best solution is to positively show what it would look like better." "If we want other states or cities to see the disparities is to go pick a piece of ground and just build a ton of stuff that's nice quality, beautiful and well run" "The best possible way to 'own the libs' would be to just build something awesome."

He just doesn’t get it. If he lived in a broken community in the Rust Belt of America that has lost hope and been forgotten about, he might just get it. But it’s very easy to sneeringly pontificate from a studio in London. He is part of the problem.

There's nothing more heartbreaking than watching old archival footage of how our cities looked just a few decades ago, before the deliberate controlled demolition of our civilisation. This was London in the 1950s. Compare this to the dump it is today.

I think you’re focused a little too much on the fact it wasn’t a direct quote, and not focused enough on the fact Tucker 100% praised sharia law and heavily implied cities and cultures under sharia law are better than those in the west. I’ve used “sarcastic quotes” before to make a point, to add context, but let’s just concede he didn’t say those exact words. Here’s what he did say, and I’ve chopped up the video for time but feel free to watch the whole thing and you’ll see the context is accurate. • Not a SINGLE western city that’s thriving. • Says he has contempt for those cities • Praises cities under sharia law and says they are amazing • Says there are extremists in OUR country because it’s being degraded, unlike those he just implied under sharia law, which again, he thinks are amazing. • Says our problem is a loss of values, implying the values of sharia law are what makes those amazing cities amazing. I also added the video of him sarcastically claiming he would “never” want our cities to end up like the ones under sharia law. He obviously thinks America would be better under Islamic rule. So you can nitpick about the quote not being word for word, but he definitely said that Sharia Law produces better societies than Western civilization. Fun fact, it fucking doesn’t!

📌 Kigali’s reputation as the cleanest city in Africa, and arguably one of the cleanest cities in the world, is a testament to how political vision, leadership, and effective governance can shape the urban environment. This achievement did not happen by chance; rather, it reflects a deliberate and strategic approach by the Rwandan government to rebuild and modernize the country in the aftermath of its tragic past. 📌 In essence, Kigali’s cleanliness is not just an environmental or aesthetic achievement; it is a political statement. It shows how effective leadership, community involvement, rule of law, and strategic planning can work together to build a city that is clean, safe, and livable. Kigali stands as a powerful example of how political will and good governance can transform urban spaces and elevate a nation's global standing. #RwandaWorks

You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. One of the biggest mistakes we’ve made in the West is treating immigration as a question of virtue instead of a question of governance. Of course our country can help people fleeing genuine persecution. But not against the wishes of its citizens! That isn’t extremism. It’s reality.

Austin and Cracker Barrell are a microcosm of this reality - the far left ruins everything it touches. And far more damaging to our way of life are woke city councils that defund the police and Soros DAs allowing criminals on the streets. It’s time to take back our cities.

Every monsoon, Mumbai floods. Yet, just months later, the city faces water shortages. How can a city receive billions of litres of rain and still run out of water? Singapore once faced the same challenge. Instead of treating rain as a problem, it redesigned the city to capture it. Today, rainwater from rooftops, roads and drains is stored, managed and reused—making floods less destructive and water more secure. As climate change brings more extreme rainfall to Indian cities, perhaps the question isn't how to drain rainwater faster. It's how to stop wasting it. Should Indian cities adopt Singapore’s model? Tell us what you think in the comments. #MumbaiFloods #SmartCities #StormwaterManagement #FloodsIndia #SustainableCities [Singapore water management, Mumbai floods, Rainwater harvesting in Singapore, Why Mumbai floods every monsoon, How Singapore solved its water crisis, Case studies of Change, Floods in India]

President Trump has given a voice to so many people who have been affected by the crime in our nation’s capital, and the measures he’s taken are working. It is my hope that he can continue to help other cities get the problem of crime under control.

It is stunning that the median age of a first-time home buyer in America today is 38. We’ve got a problem. By incentivizing cities to slash red tape and start building homes again, my Build Now Act would help open the door to homeownership.

REPORT: California just proved the “conspiracy theorists” right. Lawmakers passed a bill to seize fire-ravaged Palisades land and turn it into taxpayer-funded low-income housing. This isn’t theory anymore—it’s reality, and it follows a disturbing national trend. For years, people claimed that disasters like the Maui fires were being used to clear land for Smart Cities. Now it’s happening in plain sight. Across America, neighborhoods destroyed by fires and floods are being “reimagined” as dense, government-controlled housing zones. California’s SB 549 lets cities buy burned lots for mere pennies, rebuild using your tax dollars, and cram in numerous low-income units. Officials call it “resilient,” but it’s really about controlling where and how you live. And it’s not just Democrats. The Global Covenant of Mayors unites cities from both parties under a Smart City agenda built on surveillance, permanent renting, and the end of single-family homes. Is this really about safety and sustainability—or is it about control? Watch 's shocking report to see just how deep this agenda goes.

How can you get a whole community off benefits and into work? We launched JobsPlus pilots in towns and cities in the UK, applying lessons from the US. It’s not easy…but better to help someone earn their own living than finesse another benefits claim.
