Naya Raipur Skywalk — photo 1

On record

A skywalk built as a "modern urban amenity" in India's purpose-built new capital stands completed but essentially unused, towering over empty streets; local reporting describes it as a hangout for miscreants and a safety hazard for women, emblematic of the planned city's broader underuse.

The official record states: "Not specified."

“A skywalk over empty streets in a purpose-built capital: infrastructure waiting for a city to turn up.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“It is a modern urban amenity waiting patiently for an urban area to arrive around it.”
