How It Works

Civic tourism, the responsible way

01

Pick a destination

Browse by city. Every guide is hand-verified against RTI replies, news archives and at least one furious neighbourhood WhatsApp group.

02

Read the honest reviews

No sponsored content. Our ratings factor in pothole depth, monsoon survivability, and how many times the project was 'inaugurated'.

03

Spot it. Document it safely. Tag us.

Found a wall where a road should be? Photograph it from the public side, submit it, and help the next traveller plan around the rubble. Never enter barricaded, collapsed or restricted structures — no entry is worth the climb.

“Bureaucracy is a construction by which a person is conveniently separated from the consequences of his or her actions.”

— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game
NOTICE — Entries document real, publicly reported infrastructure projects, sourced from news reports and RTI replies (see each entry for citations). Star ratings, reviews and editorial tone are satirical framing; the underlying facts are not, and are omitted for entries involving loss of life.
