SMART CITY

INTRODUCTION

• A city is said to be “smart” when it identifies the important

trends and suggesting what all things are to be implemented
in new innovative ways.
• Identifying the trends from various fields such as
e-government, information science, urban studies and public
administration and discuss the challenges, success factors
and impacts of government-driven initiatives that makes a
city smart.
• A Smart City is a developed urban area that creates
sustainable economic development and high quality of life by
excelling in 6 key areas that can be done through strong ICT
infrastructure.
ORIGIN OF SMART CITY
• The concept of smart cities originated at the time when
the entire world was facing one of the worst economic
crises. In 2008, IBM began work on a 'smarter cities'
concept as part of its Smarter Planet initiative. By the
beginning of 2009, the concept had captivated the
imagination of various nations across the globe.
“SMART CITIES” Includes
• Smart Living
• Smart Building & Home
• Smart Transportation
• Smart Energy (Renewable generation & storage,
AMI,PQM,PLM,OMS)
• Smart Water Management
• Smart Waste Management(Recycling of waste, residual
management, Recovery of waste organics & Energy)
• Smart Education(e-Education)
• Smart Governance(e-governance)
• Smart Medical Facility(e-Medical)
• Smart Communications
• Smart Networks
• Environmental Awareness (i.e. changing weather conditions;
human defined changes)
SMART CITIES MISSION

• Smart Cities Mission of the Government is a bold, new initiative. It is

meant to set examples that can be replicated both within and
outside the Smart City, catalysing the creation of similar Smart
Cities in various regions and parts of the country.
• The core infrastructure elements in a smart city would include:
• i. adequate water supply,
• ii. assured electricity supply,
• iii. sanitation, including solid waste management, iv. efficient urban
mobility and public transport,
• v. affordable housing, especially for the poor, vi. robust IT
connectivity and digitalization, vii. good governance, especially e-
Governance and citizen participation, viii. sustainable environment,
• ix. safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and
the elderly, and
• x. health and education.
SOLUTION TO IMMEDIATE CITIES NEED
The city is a microcosm of the major challenges and
opportunities facing the planet today—intensified and
accelerated. Here, all man-made systems come together and
interact with one another.

OBJECTIVES OF SMART CITY
• Significantly reducing emissions (CO2, greenhouse gases,)
• Long-term objective: a zero carbon city, zero emission buildings as
standard
• Significantly reducing energy consumption. Long-term objective: reaching
close-to-zero energy standards in new and existing buildings.
• Significantly increasing the use of renewable sources of energy (e.g. in
public buildings)
• Raising awareness in the wider public about responsible use of resources
(energy, water)
• Promoting multi-modal transport systems by improving the public
transport network, enhancing networking between individual transport
carriers, and significantly reducing individual motorized transport

 ADVANTAGES OF SMART CITY

• .
CITY WIDE SMART SOLUTIONS
BENEFITS TO GOVERNMENT
Cost Saving
Revenue Generation
Technological
Innovation
Reduce cost including
transportation, energy,
water, security etc. by
introducing smarter
concepts.
Example- Schneider
Electric smart solutions
results in:
• 40% lower energy
consumption due to
LED-type signal lights
• 15% reduction of water
losses
Attract huge FDI
Building of smart cities with
investor friendly policies of
100% FDI and easy norms will
increase FDI investments
Higher GDP
Rise in tourism, expansion of
industries/ corporates will lead
to higher GDP contribution
from smart cities.
Example- Sagarmala project
having at least 12 smart cities
can lift India’s GDP growth by
2%
Sustainability
Sustainable
Development
Smart Environment, health,
transportation, waste
management and energy
will contribute to better
livings
Higher Employment
10-15% rise in employment
due to Smart Cities projects.
More jobs to be created in the
fields of IT professionals, data
analytics, consulting, system
integration, IoT1
Wide-spread
Education
Smart education through
distance learning will help
in increasing the reach of
education
URBAN EFFICIENCY ACROSS THE WORLD
EXAMPLES FROM WORLD
CHALLENGES FACED TO IMPLEMENT SMART
CITY
1. Retrofitting existing legacy city infrastructure to make it smart:
 The most important is to determine the existing city’s weak areas that need
utmost consideration.
 The integration of formerly isolated areas to achieve citywide efficiencies can
be significant challenge.

2. Financing smart cities:

 Investment Estimates in Urban Infrastructure has assessed a per-capita
investment cost (PCIC) of Rs 43,386 for a 20-year period.
 Public Funding, Funding through PPP (public–private partnership),
Global sovereign funding etc.

3. Financial sustainability of ULBS (Urban Local Bodies):

 Inadequate cost recovery.
 Implementation of User Fee / Charges for services.
 Self sustainability and resource management .
• 4. Technical constraints of ULBs:
 Capacity gap and requirement for Capacity Building.
 Up-gradation in terms of technical expertise.
 Technical approach to projectisation and project modulation.

5. Three-tier governance:
 Successful implementation of smart city solutions needs effective
horizontal and vertical coordination between various institutions
providing various municipal amenities.

6. Providing clearances in a timely manner:

 “Timely” completion of proposed projects.
 Multiple clearances required.

7.Capacity building & Reliability of services :

 Building capacity for 100 smart cities is not an easy task and most
ambitious projects are delayed owing to lack of quality manpower,
both at the centre and state levels
