It is at the pinnacle of technological advancement, quite cosmopolitan, and has a nice balance with nature. Unlike cities in the US, the public transport system is top-notch, and like other East Asian countries, it is convenient to live here.

Taiwan is the country I always come to when talking about development in Kerala. Taiwan has a geography similar to Kerala, with a narrow strip of land between mountains and the ocean. Yet, Taiwan is much more developed than Kerala. People in Kerala have a false sense that any industry or development in the state would bring havoc, while Taipei manages to preserve nature and people.
