Yes, I have, and that place is even worse then the slums of India.

If you've ever been to Tokyo and visited their shops, stores & restaurants. Those architectures are nothing. They got a ramen shop where robots serve you. A blood donating center and hospitals where robots assist you. A hotel lodge with very high end technology. High end gaming stores. Vending machines of almost everything you can think of. Do those exist in other cities? Probably no.

Tokyo wins basically for the most modern, most high tech and most futuristic (if we based on technology).

Doha, the capital of Qatar, is giving Dubai a run for it's money in futuristicness.

Also google the skyline of Abu Dhabi which is catching up fast too

Where ever they envisioned "Blade Runner". I am being reluctantly forced into the future so I vote for Magdalena, New Mexico. It is in a future where some dreadful event has decimated the human population of the world. Not all possible futures are bright shiny and organized.
