According to her, a city is smart only when it comprises sustainable, measurable, time-based and affordable things. She also said that out of a total population of 60 lakh in Durgapur, 28 per cent is migratory. These people come in the hope of a better living. “However, providing them services is a huge challenge,” she added. She highlighted the fact that most of the land is owned by the industry which makes it difcult for the corporation to provide accommodation to its citizens. “As of now, there are 55,000 homeless families in Durgapur. Moreover, basic amenities like water and electricity are unavailable to the citizens,” she asserted.“Nonetheless, keeping all the drawbacks aside, Durgapur is trying hard to go ahead with smart interventions,” she concluded. Among the dignitaries was Anant Kumar, Chief Engineer, New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) who told the august gathering that NDMC, comprising 42.7 kms of area with a population of three lakh people, has been selected in the rst list to be developed as a smart city. He proudly told that NDMC is independent for basic services like water and electricity. “We have created a lot of public toilets in NDMC, but their maintenance is a difcult task. Also, instead of spending the revenue on these, we are rather getting revenue from these toilets,” he added. He also told that in some of those toilets, there are facilities like machines for checking blood sugar and blood pressure, which make these toilets smart indeed. Regarding electricity, he said, “We are trying to convert 15,000 electric poles into smart poles. These will have cameras and will provide Wi-Fi connectivity in the near future. SMART CITY & THE URBAN CHALLENGE Suneet Manjavkar, Asia Consultant (Product Sales), Bentley Systems India Pvt Ltd, began the session with his speech. He said, ”The new age of smart cities involves evolution of the existing cities with the application of technologies to meet urban challenges and address the complexities of everyday operations with informed decisions. The progressive and adaptive approach shown by urban local bodies and institutes have depicted encouraging results in India for advancing infrastructure development and is emerging as an e-kranti for making our cities livable and a happy dwelling place for each one of us.” Commissioner Durgapur Municipal Corporation Kasturi SenguptaKasturi SenguptaKasturi Sengupta Anant Kumar Chief Engineer New Delhi Municipal Council Suneet Manjavkar Asia Consultant (Product Sales) Bentley Systems India Pvt Ltd www.prospurs.com Next in the row to share his thoughts was B Purushartha, Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh, who dened smart city as a buzz word for business people, industry, government as well as citizens in the current scenario.
