Some basic analysis of Indian cities to build the smart city & compared Ahemdabad & Surat the two cities from Gujarat.
Analysis taken from Ministry of Urban Development of India & some other private companies Affiliated with the Indian Government.
Cities are a driving force in generating the world’s economic growth. All around the world, urbanization is a growing trend. Challenges arise as more and more people concentrated in the limited urban spaces, with outdated infrastructure, leading to a rapid increase in resource consumption and emissions. The principal challenges for cities, around the globe, are to deliver better services while being globally competitive, and meeting climate targets.
Limited resources need to be managed in an efficient way. At the same time, societal development must be addressed and the focus put on people’s wellbeing. The pressure is growing to reduce our environmental impact, and there is a parallel compelling need for businesses to remain globally competitive. Expenditures on improving energy efficiency, modernizing infrastructure and creating a high-quality living, and working environments, are enormous. At the same time, cities have limited financial resources for governance and services.
The sustainable transformation of cities is only possible when it is done in a smart way. Smart systems and their integration need to be developed, not only to provide the services that people need but also to do so efficiently with minimum impact on the environment Regarding the urban spaces as living ecosystems, the smart city design, and planning, operation, and management, needs to be done at the system level. Sub-optimization of individual city components will not lead to the optimal performance of the all system. Multi-target optimization is not an easy task, but it becomes necessary as different components and systems are interlinked and interconnected – irrespective of where they are physically located.
Innovation in the form of 'smart city solutions' can deliver technologies, products, and services that meet the dual challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and delivering more efficient services. Cities worldwide are modernizing and becoming poles of competitive strength.
The rapid development, and globalization, of information and communication technologies (ICT), can support the deployment of these solutions and their integration at system level. Applications as local small-scale energy production, as well as the transport solutions, for example, are the key enablers for cities becoming more resource-efficient while better meeting the users’ needs. It can be said that efficient ICT, where the Internet of Things has a central role, is a common dominator: tying together services, residency, mobility, infrastructure, and energy.
Creating Smarter Cities 2011 - 04 - Rudolf Giffinger - VUT - The need for pla...Smart Cities Project
Because of different processes like economic restructuring, socio-demographic processes and technological progress cities are facing new challenges in the run of their recent trends of urbanization and metropolisation. These processes are assumed to have specific impacts on the cohesive territorial development in economic, social and spatial terms. As a consequence new strategic governance approaches became necessary steering development in different fields. In this context rankings have experienced a remarkable boom.
In front of this development, this paper concentrates first on the question how to define a ‘smart’ city which is able to cope with such challenges. Based on this understanding the own ranking approach („European Smart Cities“) is described systematically. Based on a hierarchical approach with a sample of relevant factors the paper describes in short how cities cope with the results and what are typical reactions of local governments and stakeholders. In this context two specific urban strategies for steering development and processes of learning in general, but especially with respect to urban governance, are discussed within this paper. Finally, the paper elaborates that here the buzz-word ‘smart’ is not used in an explicit technology perspective but in a clear place based understanding similar to the EU-Territorial Agenda 2020. Accordingly an outlook describes how ‘smart’ will be used and understood in a place based and territorial perspective including technological impacts.

Concept note on 100 Indian smart citiesPhani Mohan K
The 35-page blue print includes various suggestions on operational procedures, approval process for proposals, nature and extent of Central Government support on financing, capacity building, which would be useful for further discussions.
It outlines in detail about the several facilities that would be developed in smart cities including reliable utility services,efficient social infrastructure and a smart transport system, which would restrict the travel time within the city to 30 to 45 minutes, 100 per cent coverage of road network with storm water drainage network and 100 per cent access to toilets.
All smart cities will need to have a master plan valid for the next 10 years in addition to having digitised spatial maps, regularly updated open data platforms, amongst other benchmarks specified in the Annexures of the concept note.
Physical infrastructure such as the urban mobility system, the housing stock, energy system, water supply system, drainage system, solid waste management and sewerage system etc will have to be integrated through the use of geospatial technology.
Universal access to electricity and water 24 X 7 will be a given.
The municipal offices will have to be fully automated so that citizens have the ability to seek and the municipal offices the ability to deliver services in real time, through IT based facilities.
In terms of social infrastructure, good and high quality education, healthcare and entertainment services are essential.
Adoption of energy-efficient and environmentally benign practices in the use of building material, transport system, sewerage and water supply systems, street lighting, air-conditioning systems and energy consumption in buildings will be non-negotiable.
The document also states that a city having a population of up to 40 lakh or more, cities of tourist and religious importance and select cities which have a population of less than 10 lakh and all state and union territory capitals will get an opportunity to nominate a satellite city for the “Smart City” project.
“In Delhi, it is being proposed that DDA will develop a new smart city through the land pooling scheme as a demonstratively and the NDMC area may be considered for demonstrating all the components of smart cities,” the note says.
While a strong citizen participation in decision-making will be crucial for smart cities, a principle of ‘governance by incentives rather than governance by enforcement’ has to be adopted.
A national urbanization policy would be crucial for guiding the national government financial support to smart cities.
The release of concept note is followed by a National Conclave of States and Union Territories, which is being held on Friday, September 12 to invite suggestions on the blue print.
Smart city can be understood as a city IT project. But City IT is quite different from office IT. This slide explains difference between City and Office IT and shows ways to build a smart city successfully based on experiences from Korea and Seoul in particular.
The first question is what is meant by a ‘smart city’. The answer is, there is no universally accepted definition of a Smart City. It means different things to different people. The conceptualization of Smart City, therefore, varies from city to city and country to country, depending on the level of development, willingness to change and reform, resources and aspirations of the city residents. A Smart City would have a different connotation in India than, say, Europe. Even in India, there is no one way of defining a Smart City.
Smart City Features:
Quick accident relief: In case of accident or fault in a vehicle, people will get help in just one call. They will get help through CCTV too.
Smart Traffic system: On the lines of London’s Smart Traffic System, people will get the information regarding heavy traffic in advance. At present, Bangalore has this system.
Face Identification System to catch criminals: On the lines of Paris, the Smart City will have Face Identification System in place to catch criminals. The photos and DNA of criminals and suspects will be entered in computer and information will also be shared with other cities.

A technical lecture on Information and Technology as enabler for Smart City at Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE), Vadodara, Center
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses.
With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport and other key smart sectors.

Smart cities: Understanding policies, standards, applications and case studies IJECEIAES
This paper presents the integration of required basic facilities of living such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure for building the smart cities. The administrations of smart cities should have the smart governance, safety measures with cultural and social stimulus. Four building blocks of smart cities, i.e., people and environment, smart utilities, smart technology and smart administration are described in the present paper. The aim of this paper is to give a clearer perspective of the key decisions with spatial reference that may assume a key part in the plan of a smart city technique. Application of various technologies, for examples big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, block chain technology to the smart cities are discussed in this paper. Various challenges of smart cities such as information technology (IT) infrastructure, cost, privacy, security, efficiency, fossil fuel dependency and congested commutes with proposed solutions are also presented in this paper.
Abstract:
In 2050, the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today. That’s why we need completely new approaches to be taken in order to make our cities to be Smart City. Smart Cities gained importance as a means of making ICT enabled services and applications available to the citizens, and authorities that are part of a city’s system. It aims at increasing citizens’ quality of life, and improving the efficiency and quality of the services provided by governing entities and businesses. Smart City is a type of city that uses new technologies to make them more livable, functional, competitive and modern through the use of new technologies, the promotion of innovation and knowledge management. Cities today are facing significant challenges including increasing populations, infrastructures, and declining budgets.
What is Smart Cities? The Concept of Smart Cities, What are Smart Governance, Smart Citizen, Smart Energy, Smart Technology, Smart Infrastructure, Smart Mobility, Smart Building and Smart Healthcare
Cities are striving to improve their competitiveness on the world stage. Those that succeed in attracting business, investment, and qualified human resource talent will win out. However, most cities face daunting obstacles in their quest to achieve the desired level of attractiveness. In some cases, rapid growth is driving increased pollution and congestion. In other cases, tight budgets are leading to resource constraints and progress is limited.
Digital Transformation in the Connected Cities EraKarim Rizkallah
Government agencies are looking to implement digital strategies, develop their talent pool with digital skills and promote services that address citizens' requirements.
E-governance, meaning ‘electronic governance’ is using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) at various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing governance. The application of ICT to transform the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of exchange of information and transaction:
between Governments,
between Government agencies,
between Government and Citizens, and
between Government and businesses
Government Process Re-engineering using IT to simplify and make the government processes more efficient is critical for transformation to make the delivery of government services more effective across various government domains and therefore needs to be implemented by all Ministries/ Departments.
NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN (NEGP)
negpThe National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause. Around this idea, a massive countrywide infrastructure reaching down to the remotest of villages is evolving, and large-scale digitization of records is taking place to enable easy, reliable access over the internet. The ultimate objective is to bring public services closer home to citizens, as articulated in the Vision Statement of NeGP.
“Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets,and ensure efficiency, transparency, and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man”
The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 31 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components, on May 18, 2006.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

6. A “SMART CITY” should be described as one that: dramatically
increases the pace at which it improves its sustainability and
resilience by fundamentally improving how it engages society, how it
applies collaborative leadership methods, how it works across
disciplines and city systems, and how it uses data and integrated
technologies, to facilitate better city services, like transportation,
energy, water, waste, health, education, fire and police to improve
the quality of life to those in and involved with the city (residents,
businesses, visitors). Dave Welsh, Microsoft
A smart city uses information and communication technologies (ICT)
to enhance quality, performance and interactivity of urban services,
to reduce costs and resource consumption and to improve contact
between citizens and government. Wikipedia
7. Smart City Elements
1. Ecosystem – A smart city ecosystem includes economic, environmental, social and citizen
engagement. All of these aspects of the ecosystem must be connected, interoperable and enhance
the quality of life for all stakeholders. To construct the smart city elements (ICT, integrated data
systems, data analytics) no one supplier can provide everything required to make a city “smart”. So
a vendor ecosystem is critical as well. Assembling the best local and world-wide companies to
optimize technology and open government data to achieve a city’s resiliency and sustainability
goals is key for leaders to understand.
2. Critical Infrastructures – Transportation, Energy, Water, Waste, Education, Health,
Communication and Data infrastructures are all pieces of a smart city that must be intelligent,
meaning there are IoT devices, mobile devices connecting all these assets with people getting the
right information to the right people at the right time to be deemed “smart”. These connected
infrastructures enable and accelerate a city’s ability to be truly resilient and sustainable.
3. Interoperability of Data Systems – 5% of all data is utilized and leveraged to value. This means
there is a huge opportunity to take all the data a city generates and leverage it by creating systems
of systems that are integrated and made publicly available to create interoperability, which
optimizes and maximizes the value of that data. This innovation will enable environmental and
economic sustainability, resilience, socially responsibility, quality of life and a healthier more better
educated stakeholders within a city.
8. Smart Cities’ foundation are critical human infrastructures, energy, water,
Transportation, ICT networks, data integration, buildings and mobile devices
10. The Different Stakeholders in a Smart City (a complex interaction of systems of systems)
People or citizens: People are one of the major customers of a city since most are residents; many may
pay taxes to the city; and others experience the city as a visitor.
Industry or enterprises: Industries or enterprises which have or plan to have activities in a city are
essential for the city. It is an important to attract and industries or enterprises who play an essential part
in the economy and functions of the city.
City authorities: are usually the administrators that regulate operation of a city (effective leadership of
city authorities remains a challenge in some parts of the world).
Infrastructure operators: The operators are the direct providers of city services. They are stakeholders to
which the city's performances are closely related. They may be under contract to, regulated or steered
by, city authorities.
Product, service and solution providers: Although product, service and solution providers are not always
the direct providers of community services, they provide machines, components, systems, services and
solutions which are necessary for infrastructure operators to provide city services.
Financial institutions and investors: As the construction and operation of a city tend to involve large
scale, long-span projects, the role of financial institutions and investors is essential.
Others: may include advisers, analysts, and press – all of whom have a bearing on the thinking process of
the city.
12. Essential #1 Deployment of Broadband Networks
Essential #2 Use of Smart Devices and Agents
Essential #3 Developing Smart Urban Spaces
Essential #4 Developing Web-based Applications, e-Services and leveraging Data
Analytics
Essential #5 Opening up Government Data (OGD)
Benefits of OGD
1. Improving government accountability, transparency, responsiveness and democratic
control
2. Promoting citizens self-empowerment, social participation and engagement
3. Building the next generation of empowered civil servants
4. Fostering innovation, efficiency and effectiveness in government services
5. Creating value for the wider economy
Five ICT Essentials for Smart Cities
Without a comprehensive ICT network, your city is not smart
13. United States’ democracy is “of the people, by the people and for the people.”
This definition implies government should be open and transparent in how it makes its
decisions. Furthermore, those decisions should be logical and explainable to constituents.
Decisions must be data-driven. Data used in decision making should be open to inspection
by any constituent or member of the public who, in turn, could suggest alternate
interpretations and solutions.
“Open Data” is a relatively new concept in transparency: open data is freely available or
accessible, without license, and machine-readable, among other characteristics :
• “Freely available and accessible” means the data can be easily obtained, preferably on a
website or in another place on the Internet without onerous restrictions such as login-
passwords or other security measures. These terms also mean without discrimination as
to the user or reason for use.
• “Without license” means the data can be re-used and re-published without obtaining a
license or other legal contract. Some restrictions, such as attribution6 and immutability,
are allowed.
• “Machine readable” is another way of saying usable without technological hindrances.
Data contained in a portable-document-format (PDF) is not machine readable – it is not
easy for a computer to read and use the data. Machine readability is extraordinarily
important so that the dataset can be used in applications such as mapping points on a
handheld device such as a smart phone or tablet.
14. OGD Value
It is already possible to point to a large number of areas where open
government data is creating value. Some of these areas include:
• Transparency and democratic control
• Participation
• Self-empowerment
• Improved or new private products and services
• Innovation
• Improved efficiency of government services
• Improved effectiveness of government services
• Impact measurement of policies
• New knowledge from combined data sources and patterns in large data
volumes
15. OGD Benefits
• More citizens will engage with government to make policy and support
government services such as public safety
• Citizen advocacy groups and researchers will analyze government data
producing new and better insights into difficult problems such as crime and
homelessness
• New businesses will start using the government open data, combined with
information from other sources, to produce new services and products such
as smart phone applications
• Existing government services could be significantly improved as operational
data becomes available to improve business processes and shorten delivery
times.
16. Cultural Obstacles to OGD
Open data movements face a wide variety of obstacles, almost all of them internal to
governments. Chris Martin, researcher at the University of Leeds, has chronicled a
number of these obstacles, including:
• The risk-averse culture of governments
• Opening data is an extra activity, rather than day-to-day responsibility of employees,
and therefore will not occur in a consistent manner;
• Governments lack a coherent vision for funding and promoting open data
• Government officials feel there is little demand or value in the data within their
custody
• Government will lose revenue by opening data,while,conversely, the private sector
will focus on exploiting the financial value while ignoring the social and environmental
value of the data
• Many citizens and advocacy groups are concerned about protecting the privacy of
individuals
• Fear that opening the data will result in criticism for incomplete or inaccurate
datasets
17. Executive Support Needed for OGD
Given the obstacles and culture of government, all successful open data initiatives to
date have required strong and explicit support from the chief executive of the
government entity involved in the effort. Examples include:
• President Barack Obama’s Executive Order and data.gov (more on slide 19)
• US Treasury is participating in the White House National Action Plan for Open
Government's U.S. Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative
https://www.treasury.gov/open/Documents/m10-06.pdf
• New York City Council law 11 of 2012, which basically says “all data which can be
opened, will be opened”, with the support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the
resulting open data program of the City’s Department of Information Technology
and Telecommunications
• Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Executive Order 2012-2 on Open Data
http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/narr/foia/open_data_executiveorder.html
• And a number of other examples from Oakland and San Francisco, California,
Louisville, Kentucky and other places Executive support is critical to open data
movements because every government and its bureaucracy resist change.
Governments are, inherently, conservative, always striving to maintain the status
quo. Government officials constantly feel their programs are underfunded and
already burdened with work. Since this conservatism is inherently a part of
government, it takes extraordinary effort to overcome the inertia through senior
leadership.
18. SMARTCITYINFRASTRUCTUREFRAMEWORKS
Businesses
At the same time the open data movement is occurring in government, private
businesses are producing and consuming vast amounts of data.
And the technologies to generate and process data are improving. The techniques
developed and used by private companies to process data can also be applied to
government datasets.
Governmental data can often be combined with privately collected data to develop
new insights and new economic activity.
These insights, in turn, can better inform government policy and services. Some of
these related developments are:
• Generation of data from consumers and businesses who use the Internet
• Generation of data from use of social media
• Generation of data by traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses
• Data analytics
• Use of data from other sources by agencies such as the National Security Agency
19. Since his first full day in office, President Obama has prioritized making government
more open and accountable and has taken substantial steps to increase citizen
participation, collaboration, and transparency in government.
Data.gov, the central site for U.S. Government data, is an important part of the
Administration’s overall effort to open government.

20. Open Government Partnership
OGP was launched in 2011 to provide an international platform for domestic
reformers committed to making their governments more open, accountable, and
responsive to citizens. Since then, OGP has grown from 8 countries to the
69 participating countries indicated on the map below. In all of these countries,
government and civil society are working together to develop and implement
ambitious open government reforms.
http://www.opengovpartnership.org/
21. The Transparency and Accountability Initiative (T/A Initiative) is a
donor collaborative working to expand the impact and scale of
transparency and accountability interventions.
The Transparency and Accountability field is one of the fastest growing
public movements of recent years. It brings together a wide range of
organizations and projects aimed at promoting greater openness on the
part of governments, companies and other institutions so that the public
can hold them to account.
We aim to seize on this momentum by supporting policy change and
encouraging all those working in this field to learn from their successes
and failures so that they can have greater impact in the future.

HELSINKI, Finland — If there's something you'd like to know about Helsinki,
someone in the city administration most likely has the answer. For more than a
century, this city has funded its own statistics bureaus to keep data on the
population, businesses, building permits, and most other things you can think
of. Today, that information is stored and freely available on the internet by an
appropriately named agency, City of Helsinki Urban Facts.

25. Understanding Open Protocol for Building Automation
First, choose products that use an open protocol, meaning one that is used by
many different vendors. This will give you more choices going forward than if you
choose a proprietary protocol (one controlled by a single company).
Second, choose products with a protocol that is widely used, at least in your
area. This is important because some protocols are global while others are
restricted to specific regions. For example, Clipsal C-Bus is popular in Australia,
and M-Bus is used mostly in Europe.
Third, rely on a partner—a major vendor or a systems integrator—who can
consult with you and guide you through the choices.
Fourth, ask questions. You don’t need to be an expert on protocols to choose a
building automation system, you just need to be able to ask the right questions.
Such as:
How many vendors support this protocol?
Will it work with the equipment I already have?
Will it be easy to add new devices later?
What are the plusses and minuses of choosing products with this protocol?
Buildings are the biggest users of energy and water
Smart buildings make cities smart
26. Konza, Kenya will be a smart city, with an integrated urban information and communication
technology (ICT) network that supports delivery of connected urban services and allows for
efficient management of those services on a large scale. Specifically, a smart city framework
will integrate the following four key city services:
• Infrastructure services (transportation, utilities, public safety, environment)
• Citizen services (access and participation)
• City services (city information, planning and development)
• Business services (supportive services for local commerce)

37. Smart Education
From IBM Smarter Cities
One resource the world has no shortage of is data. Schools and universities
have always recorded and stored data as they tracked grades, attendance, test
scores and demographics. With the increasing availability of technology in the
instructional process, educational institutions now collect, in real time, data
about what their students learn and how they progress. Using big time
analytics, everything from attendance to a campus building's energy usage has
a place in identifying targets for improvement and sharing of resources to
enhance learning, spot troubling trends earlier, and instill a sense of common
purpose in working toward goals.
“Our use of analytics is enabling teachers to easily access information,
whereas heretofore it would take a good bit of time. Now they can really
concentrate on the teaching piece and on getting the student engaged.”
J. Alvin Wilbanks, Gwinnett County Public School system
38. IBI Group Smart Education
At the building level, the kinds of intelligent systems developed can help schools,
colleges and universities better manage their energy systems, security,
communication, and transportation.
At a higher level, intelligent systems can help connect departments and
campuses; they can enable virtual and online learning, and engage social media.
At the very highest level, they can partner with contemporary education thinking
to actually change the way that children learn.
Technology is changing the way that we deliver education. Migration from text
books to dynamic learning content delivered through computers and mobile
smart devices allows for more student focused delivery of education; at their
pace, with relevant content and learning approaches. It also allows schools to
stay up to date with current and timely information, and to leverage teaching
resources across schools, campuses, districts and across the world.
39. Microsoft helps educators transform the classroom to create lifelong learners. Once you a technology

students, empower teachers, and inform IT staff.
41. Smart Healthcare
• Healthcare analytics turns data into clinical and business insights in real time
for point-of-care decisions and productivity. Forward-thinking organizations
are connecting their healthcare data, systems and processes to facilitate
secure communications and information sharing. IBM Smarter Cities
• Hospitals are under enormous pressure to keep their costs down and improve
the bottom line. They’re looking for ways to achieve greater operating
efficiency to reduce costs. And new revenue opportunities are also needed to
boost income. Patient satisfaction is also important, helping ensure that their
beds stay full. Solution: The “smart” bedside terminal can address most of
these challenges. This all-in-one device connects and integrates the hospital
information network, clinical services, patient entertainment, and
communication systems, enabling better and more efficient access at the
point of care. Intel Smart Cities
