IN PURSUIT OF TRANSFORMATION: 100 SMART CITY MISSION

Existing City Smart City

• Government of India is in the process of Converting Existing Cities in to Smart Cities

• Existing Cities will be required to augment their basic infrastructure, this would encourage Urban
Migration
• A better approach would have been to develop new areas of economic growth & employment
generation along the energy corridor.
• The 100 Smart Cities mission generated huge public enthusiasm. However it became a check box
oriented approach for competition among the various cities. The focus shifted on individual
ranking of cities.
• The development of urban habitats with a robust sustainable environmental resilience was
missing from the agenda….

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: INDIA’S COMMITMENTS AT COP21
• Urbanisation is bound to alter the ecological balance and it is our primemost moral
obligation towards the Mother Nature that urbanisation in case of Smart Cities does take
place with minimal damage to the ecology.

• Moral Commitments pledged by India in COP21 are :

• Commitment to reduce emissions intensity by 33-35 per cent by 2030
• 175 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2022 ( 100 GW from Solar (Currently 5 GW) and 60
GW from Wind( Currently 25 GW), 15 GW from Bio Mass and other renewable sources)
• Increase the Forest Cover of the country to absorb around 2.5- 3 Gigatonnes of Carbon
from Atmosphere.

FROM SMART CITIES TO RESILIENT SMART CITIES
• The Indian cities are aspiring high to become smart cities, the visionaries of the city should through Citizen
Consultations consider how to apply, adapt, and scale innovations from around the world to enhance
resilience and livability in their own cities.

• Smart Cities offers a tremendous opportunity for Indian cities to innovate solutions that can address
multiple challenges, serve diverse systems of cities and maximize the benefits of existing assets and natural
resources.

CAPACITY BUILDING
• Smart City for its sustainability requires the citizens to OWN the City.

• The Perception of Public Property as their own needs to be inculcated with various mediums of Mass
Communication.

• The dissemination of knowledge for the e-governance functions should be carried out through training
centres
