Smart City Project in India SOURABH KUMAR B120497CE
Necessity 31% of India’s population contributes over 70% of nation's GDP High rate of urbanisation (urban population of India in 1901 was 11.4%) Most cities are equipped with substandard and obsolete features Housing problem in cities compounded with sanitation, water supply, sewerage, electricity and problem of underemployment
Current situation of Metro Cities Slums in Mumbai
Current situation of Metro Cities Traffic snarl in New Delhi
What is a Smart City A city supposed to provide decent quality of life to its citizens and sustained environment Utilisation of modern day technologies Instrumented, interconnected and intelligent city
Strategies Area based development (i) city improvement (retrofitting) (ii) city renewal (redevelopment) (iii) city extension (greenfield development) Pan city development
Retrofitting Development of existing built-up area Makes the area more efficient and liveable Existing structures to remain intact Approx. 500 acres area to be considered To be packed with more intensive infrastructure service levels Completion in shorter time frame
Redevelopment Replacement of existing built-up area New layout with enhance infrastructure using mixed land use and increased density Only 50 acres of area to be considered High FSI and high ground coverage
Redevelopment model Bhendi Bazaar Project, Mumbai
Greenfield development Planning in a previously vacant area More than 250 acres Address the need of expanding polulation Affordable housing for poor e.g. GIFT city in Gujrat
Gujrat International and Finance Tech (GIFT) city
Pan-city development Selected Smart Solutions to existing city wide infrastructure Use of technology, information and data to make services better e.g. Intelligent traffic management system Smart metering in water supply
Component of Smart Cities (Smart Solutions)
Smart Energy Technologies utilized to enhance sustainability with better management of natural resources Renewable energy is given priority Saving in energy with digital meters, LED lights, sensors, solar appliances etc. Establishment of nationwide Smart Grid
Smart Grid Power consumption of buildings can be monitored and controlled on a real time basis Better handling of demand variation Help predict voltage interruption Efficiency of electricity distribution 24x7 electricity for all ₹500 crores allocated for 14 pilot smart grids
Smart Solid Waste Management Efficient recycling, organics management and composting Use of GIS and RF technologies can boost logistical capabilities in collection and disposal Material Recovery Facility (MRF), Bio Digesters, WTE facilities reduce environmental impact No landfills Swachh Bharat Mission
Smart Water Management Use of water meters Filtered water for public consumption using RO, UV etc. Infrastructures with water harvesting No complete relying on groundwater Integrated Ganga Conservation Mission “Namami Gange” ₹2100 crores in 2015-16 to restore the river
Smart Transportation To reduce traffic congestion and optimize the flow Live traffic monitoring using IP cameras A single electronic card to pay for all transportation needs (metro, city buses, parking, subways) Promote electric and hybrid automobiles Govt. to spend 14000 crores over subsidy
Smart Transportation Intelligent lighting system which responds to volume of traffic (Delhi) Waterways; a cheaper option for transporting goods Use of Light Metro-rails, Monorail, Subways for public transport as it encourage multiple land- use Use of separate bicycle lanes
Multiple land use
Smart Housing Building to be equipped with automation devices Which includes Fire alarm, auto climate control, smart water and power meters, Use of ramps and Auto-walks Solar panels and Water harvesting systems are primary requirements Expected savings; 30% in maintenance, 40% in energy usage, 30% in external water supply
Challenges Each city requires ₹100 crore each from central and state govt. Cities have to focus on their identity for quick recovery of investment Municipalities to be made capable to run such and ideal city Lack of coordination between various ministries Surrounding area needs to be put in integrated regional planning framework
Smart Cities in the World Different parameters for different countries Viz. Fast delivery of services, innovations, Low carbon economy etc Top mid sized smart cities in the world are Vienna, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Vancouver Vacuum connected trash bins, Zero emission, bike sharing, V2G technology (vehicle to grid)
Conclusion On the basis of their economic identity 98 cities has been selected after the Intrastate competition 20 cities in the first phase Motto is “Cities should work for us not vice versa” ₹7060 crores allocated in 2014-15 Union Budget Overall it would focus on improving infrastructure to make them liveable.
