Subject 'taking pictures of different views' is a gerund phrase functioning as a singular subject; it requires the singular verb 'makes'. Use 'makes' instead of 'make' to match subject-verb agreement.
× in other countries they are, they are more clean, they are more pure and, uh, you know, I can able to see more innovations.
✓ in other countries they are cleaner, they are purer and I can see more innovations.
Comparative adjectives require the comparative form (cleaner, purer) rather than 'more clean/more pure'. Also, 'can able to' is incorrect: either 'can' or 'be able to' should be used. Use 'I can see' to be concise and grammatically correct.
× They are more, more infrastructure there and in my own country, as you know, that I.
✓ There is more infrastructure there than in my own country, as you know.
The original had incorrect word order and preposition use. Use 'There is more infrastructure there than in my own country' to compare quantities correctly and place 'there' appropriately. Also remove the incomplete clause 'that I' to make a complete sentence.
× in other countries they are, they are more clean, they are more pure and, uh, you know, I can able to see more innovations.

The pronoun 'they' was ambiguous when referring to 'other countries'. Specify the intended subject (people, environment) to improve clarity and correctness. Also apply correct comparative forms and remove 'able' after 'can'.

The phrase 'because of the city skylines and, you know, transports and people' is informal and has an incorrect noun 'transports'. Use 'public transport' and list items in parallel. Remove filler phrases like 'you know' for clarity and formality appropriate to an exam.
