What is a Smart City ?
INTRODUCTION
A Smart City is the integration of technology into a strategic approach to sustainability. 21st
Century has brought with it a new global trend of “sustainable urban development” and this
concept adds new dimensions to urbanization which require a quick need to upgrade existing
cities. The concept of a smart city is a relatively new one. Throughout the years, with the significant
contribution from various technologies like computer science, information technology, remote
sensing, advance multimedia world etc.

But the question is HOW WE CAN LIVE A SMART LIFE ?
A smart city should be able to respond faster
to city and global challenges than one with a
simple 'transactional' relationship with its
citizens. The term encompasses a vision of an
urban space that is ecologically friendly,
technologically integrated and meticulously
planned, with a particular reliance on the use
of Information Technology to improve
efficiency.

Why Do We Need Smart Cities ?
By 2030, 60% of worlds population is
expected to live in cities results in heavy
strain on energy, transportation, water,
building and public spaces.
Increasing need is the being felt for
smart city which are both efficient,
sustainable and Can generate economic
prosperity & social well being.
Rapid Urbanisation

Principal Features of Smart Cities

Innovations in Smart Cities
To accommodate the new demand
on cities, municipalities around the
globe are turning to the Internet
of Things innovation to enhance
their services, reduce costs, and
improve communication and
interaction. Though the potential
is there for IoT to improve nearly
every aspect of urban living, there
are three IoT applications for
smart cities.

Internet of Things (IOT): The Next Big Thing ?

A more efficient water supply
The Internet of Things has the potential to transform the way cities consume
water. Smart meters can improve leak detection and data integrity; prevent lost
revenue due to inefficiency, and boost productivity by reducing the amount of
time spent entering and analyzing data. Also, these meters can be designed to
feature customer-facing portals, providing residents with real-time access to
information about their consumption and water supply.
Energy-efficient buildings
IoT technology is making it easier for buildings with legacy infrastructure to save
energy and improve their sustainability. Smart building energy management
systems, for instance, use IoT devices to connect disparate, nonstandard heating,
cooling, lighting, and fire-safety systems to a central management application.
The energy management application then highlights areas of high use and
energy drifts so staff can correct them.
Improved public safety
Smart cities and their CSP partners often implement video monitoring systems
to tackle the safety concerns that come up in every growing city. Some cities
now have hundreds of cameras monitoring traffic for accidents and public
streets for safety concerns. Video analytics software helps process the thousands
of hours of video footage each camera produces, whittling it down to only
important events. Systems using IoT technology turn every camera attached to
the system into a sensor, with edge computing and analytics starting right from
the source.

How will a Smart City Change a Citizen's Lifestyle ?
Home Environment
A Smart City will enable its residents to have up-to-date energy-related information such as
current energy prices, supply and demand, weather forecasts, etc. City systems will also link to
devices in the home, such as solar panels, smart energy meters, electric car charging ports and
smart appliances to better manage energy consumption across the city.
City Environment
A Smart City will help its citizens make decisions from where to invest money, to where to go for
lunch. Measurement of foot traffic across the city will help entrepreneurs understand where to
open new businesses like restaurants, retail stores, dry cleaning, etc. GPS-tagged photographs
uploaded by city workers and citizens will help the city create heatmaps of dilapidated buildings
and areas that need to be renovated.
Commuting
The normal morning or evening rush, experienced by most people, will be eased by accessing
car-sharing services from a smartphone app. Centralized monitoring, control of traffic lights, and
direct communication between city infrastructure and autonomous vehicles, and between
vehicles themselves, will enable a smoother commute.

Cities have been the engines of economic growth since the industrial revolution. While effective
at catalyzing prosperity, city development has not always been “smart” sacrificing human
health, for instance, for greater productivity. Smart citiesare now emerging. Leading smart cities
such as Stockholm, Barcelona, New York, Vienna, and Toronto have incorporated efficiency into
buildings, infrastructure, and social spaces using technological advancements, increasing the
livability, workability, and sustainability of these places. Inspired by these smart city
developments, India is planning to build 100 smart cities in various parts of the country. This
presentation presents insight into how smart cities are likely to evolve in India, by studying the
priority areas considered in planning smart cities. It presents both the citizen and city official
perspectives of smart cities.
THE INDIAN PERSPECTIVE

Introduction to the Smart Cities of THE INDIA
INDIA is amongst the many developing countries witnessing a rapid rural to urban shift. This change is
reflected by the greater decadal growth of the urban versus rural population. The urban population in India
increased from around 27.8% (286 million) in 2001 to 31.2% (377 million) in 2011 and is estimated to grow to
40% by 2030 and more than 50% by 2050. The population growth in cities is accompanied by infrastructure
management and service delivery challenges. The development of smart cities is one strategy being
deployed to efficiently and effectively cope with these challenges. India's Smart Cities Mission (SCM) is a
national initiative by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) to build a foundation for 100 smart cities in
five years (FY 2015-16 to FY 2019-20).
The SCM's purpose is to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people by enabling local
area development that has three components:
(a) Area-based development (ABD) that will transform existing areas, including slums, into better planned
ones, by retrofitting and redevelopment thereby improving livability of the whole city;
(b) Green-field projects that will develop new areas in the city in order to accommodate the expanding
population in urban areas.
(c) Pan-city development (PAN) that envisages the application of selected smart solutions to existing city-
wide infrastructure. As of now, 60 cities (from the list of 100 proposed smart cities) have been shortlisted in
the SCM and provided with initial funding for SCP implementation. More than half of the shortlisted cities
are located in the states of Uttar Pradesh (13), Tamil Nadu (12), and Maharashtra (10).

Finding Citizen's Perception of Smart Cities in INDIA
The Smart Cities Mission tried to capture citizens’ aspirations in terms of priority areas for smart city development.
The analysis of the citizen poll data revealed the citizens’ priority areas and how these varied by the size of a city. Out
of the five smart city characteristics (51%) of the total sample voted for Smart Living. Smart Mobility was the second
priority domain selected by( 30%) of the total sample. The third priority domain was Smart Environment (9%) that
was followed by Smart Governance (6%). The domain given the least priority was Smart Economy (4%). The citizen’s
perspective shows that the major focus is on smart living and mobility. Decades of under investment have left cities
in India with direct deficits in these two critical domains, which include railways, roads, ports, airports,
telecommunications, and electricity generation. In the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report for
2011-2012, India ranked 89th out of 142 countries for its infrastructure. The report criticized its transport, ICT, and
energy infrastructure as “ largely insufficient and ill-adapted to the needs of the growing population”.

Some of Them are
Bhubanewar:
Bhubaneswar, through participatory decision-making, responsible governance and open access
to information and technology, aspires to be a Transit oriented city with a compact urban form
that promotes active, connected and sustainable mobility choices; Livable city providing diverse
range of housing, educational and recreational opportunities; while enhancing its heritage, arts
and traditional communities; Child-friendly city providing accessible, safe, inclusive and vibrant
public places; Ecocity co-existing in harmony with nature for nurturing a resilient, clean, green,
and healthy environment; and Regional economic centre attracting knowledge based
enterprises and sustainable tourism activities by leveraging and empowering its institutions,
local businesses and informal workforce.
Nashik:
Nashik, a city renowned for its cultural heritage and now as the “Wine Capital of India”
provides diverse cultural and lifestyle experiences in a beautiful natural setting of the Godavari
river waterfront. Being part of the economically vibrant Mumbai-Pune-Nashik Golden Triangle,
Nashik offers its existing and prospective investors excellent investment and its residents diverse
employment opportunities. A responsive local government has planned Nashik to being a safe
city to walk and cycle and be a sustainable city with quality infrastructure and services.

Conclusion
This presents the first step in understanding how India is defining “ smartness” in the
context of city development. The emergency of the idea of the smart city ought to be seen in
the backdrop of the need to contain corruption and meet the requirements of the adequate &
efficient service delivery in urban areas using information and digital technologies. The success
of the programmes will be judged by its power to transform the life of the people, and their
ability to reduce growing inequality in our society. The analysis also reveals how city size
influences the priorities of citizens and city officials, indicating that the notion of a smart city in
India may vary depending on the population- and infrastructure-related challenges facing a
city. Cities in India also appear to be pursuing their own conception of what a smart city should
be, which may provide a more appropriate frame of reference for other developing and
underdeveloped nations who are looking to advance similar programs.
