When I visited India, the need for electricity, telecommunication and other infrastructure was visible everywhere, especially in old town areas such as this in New Delhi, not far from the Red Fort. Today, in cities like Delhi buildings might be developed and designed to fit expectations of being connected to all the modern ammenities of the infrastructure of a metropolis - including energy, telecommunication, etc., and ideally those are invisible. To connect older quarters to achieve the same standard of living and be equally connected to various parts of intrastructure sometimes poses difficulties though. Areas such as the one in the photo in my opinion are quite a bit away from becoming software systems - by they built, they structure, their history. The systems progress though, and in their time they will affect change. Though maybe at different speeds in different areas. Not too far away from this spot runs the Delhi Metro for example. So while on street level the usual "traditional" chaos of cars, busses, trucks, tuktuks, bikes, motorbikes, oxen-wagons, pedestrians, etc (all at the same time) blocks the streets - underground a shining new modern metro system already tries to relieve the transport collapse this city faces each and every day.
