Those are urban areas with a dense grouping of relatively small and lower priced construction. The Alex Murrell link has pictures of dense groupings of enormous buildings with very high priced construction.

The first two look interesting, the last looks like a huge slum. They all look like bad places to live. IMO, of course.

That's funny - to me, Jodhpur is most immediately appealing of the three. It reminds me of the medinas I visited in Fez and Marrakesh: overwhelming at first, as a visitor, but compelling, and full of life. I'd rather live in a thriving urban place like that, all human-scale and pedestrian, than some sprawling, soulless, car-dependent suburb like the ones a majority of North Americans inhabit.
