Yes, that is true, some developed nations cities have disgusting pavements. Still, that doesn’t compare to every report I heard from people I know personally that went to visit, or had to work, or has families/grow in our former colonies. The waste management is orders of magnitude worse. Yes , people complain about Rome and SF streets, but those are nothing compared to the reports i’ve heard. It’s another circle of hell entirely. And remember that most of the world population is from developing nations (well I guess it depends on how you classify china and india, but those are only starting to care about environment now, for the last decade their focus was rapid industrialization, which is the biggest crime to the environment) Regarding “developed” vs “developing” categorization, I guess most people think about it differently, everyone has their bias and there’s lots of politics involved in the terms. But i would do the divide on whether sustainability/environment is one of the most constant political topics in the country, and most major political parties have to engage with it (to different levels). This means food and shelter are secure (even if prices are hard on people)
