Cities are being named and renamed, for demanding/commanding new culture, pattern of growth for overcoming prevailing urban ills. Their journey includes moving from planned cities, to becoming garden cities, linear cities, vertical cities, smart cities, compact cities to smart cities. Cities, as integral part of human history and as most complex creation of humanity, are always evolving and devolving, on the move and never finite. Cities distinguished by agglomeration/ concentration of human beings/activities, remain embodiment of dichotomy and contradictions. Cities represent disorder and chaos; where poverty/prosperity rub shoulders; where beauty/ugliness dot the urban canvas; where planned / unplanned development competes and where skyscrapers/slums/shanties rub shoulders. Known as creators of wealth and generators of waste, promoter of global economic growth and productivity, cities have also emerged as breeding grounds of poverty, exclusion, pollution and environmental degradation. Considering the prevailing contradictions, and critical role/importance; cities need to be made Humane and harmonious. Processes and principles that could be leverage for making cities harmonious need to include identifying issues and roadblocks largely responsible for making urban growth both unplanned, haphazard, irrational and sub-standard besides evolving strategies and options for making the urban growth rational for ushering a new ersa of Harmonious urbanization in India

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENTS:
- To develop new cities which can handle the outgrowth of
‘city-favouring’ population of India To extend the older cities
to suffice the need of its extending population in terms of area
and facilities.
The reason being increase in the urban population according
to the Indian census, as compared to rural one.
-To cater the employment demands of the young workforce of
180 million to be entered in next two decades.
The reason being large population growth rate of India.
-These well developed cities will not only cater all needs of
growing population, but also contribute considerably
towards the economic conditions of India.

4. SOLUTIONS:
FOR NEWLY DEVELOPING CITIES
Selection of land: Least productive land (agriculturally) should be chosen to
set up a new city. A water body nearby is preferred, but industrial estate
should be somewhat at far distance. Well connected to a highway.
Selection of types of Town Planning:
-Grid planning: The city is planned in square grids, each section being
called a sector, like Gandhinagar and Chandigarh.
-Satellite type: Here the main administrative part of city and places like
hospitals are kept at centre, then the residential areas and entertainment
places like malls, parks are kept surrounding the centre, so that the central
and important area is easily accessible, well connected by roads.
Zone-wise division of city: City should be divided in various zones:
Commercial, Industrial, Residential and Extra(miscellaneous) zone.
For the funding for the development, help of international monetary
organisations like The World Bank should be sought.
5. Slum free city: The below poverty line population of the should be taken
care by establishing shelters for the poor which would provide them a
place to live and food to eat, and the management should be private, so
that fund raisers can be done.
Garbage handling and cleanliness: Establishment of garbage recycling
plants. Door to door garbage collection trucks to be made compulsory-that
solves purpose of employment too. Dustbins on road after every 0.5-1km,
'clean city' campaign through electronic and printed media. Roads to be
swept regularly-employment.
Public toilets made to be available at definite distances on road.
Traffic management: Automatic and smart traffic monitoring and
controlling systems should be employed at each cross roads, presence of
traffic personnel to be made compulsory during the day time-thereby
increasing employment too.
Mass rapid transit systems to be developed like BRTS in Ahmedabad,
monorails, trams and metros or subways. Overhead and/or under-ground
roads to be developed if necessary. Surveillance of CCTV cameras to
ensure safety. High tech traffic control centre to be developed. Separate
lanes for cycles and pedestrians.
6. Water management: Well planned water management system should
be set up anticipating about upcoming increase in demand. Efficient
rain water harvesting to be made compulsory for office, institutional
buildings, roads-highways and railway tracks too; and should be
encouraged at residential areas. Waste water treatment facilities to be
developed. Excellent underground water pipeline network to be
designed which can cater easily the increase in demand.
A small but very efficient example: the used up water from kitchen and
wash basin in homes should be collected somewhere so as to use it
again in toilet flushing; this considerably reduces per person water
usage.
Sewage: Efficient drainage network to be designed-keeping in mind
about whereabouts of to-be-developed city. Manholes to be kept-non
perforated ones (to reduce pollution) at every 3-5 km to access sewage
pipes periodically. Waste water from sewage pipes to be again extracted
and treated for other non productive purposes like cleaning and
washing.
7. Go Green: The sludge of garbage and sewer pipes should be treated to obtain
bio gas which can be used in numerous ways-for instance in the kitchens of
the shelters of poor; since not enough quantity may be produced for
commercial distribution.
-Solar panel operated street lights and phone booths.
-Energy efficient ‘Green buildings’ to be proposed for governmental and
institutional offices. Emphasis on least CO2 emissions-all this called as
Urban Ecosystem Management.
-For example, medium sized windmill on a building
which can generate enough power to cater half of
the need of itself. Then installation of solar panels on
the rooftops.
Corporate parks: These types of buildings well suit
for the corporate buildings, so parks like GIFT city in
Gujarat (Gujarat International Finance Tec-city) need
to be developed. [Windmill on a green building]
Well connected to transport means: Railway lines to be extended
of old cities towards suburbs and post developed areas, and for newly
developed city, it should be well developed near a major railway line.
8. Application of Technology to increase efficiency: Various areas of
engineering –technological innovation can be combined to develop a smart
energy efficient city without compromising any amenities.
Piezoelectricity: Piezoelectric sensors should be kept on each bumps on the
road, so the vehicle comes, presses through the bump and the sensor converts
the pressure energy to electrical energy, and is it reliable to estimate almost
constant generation of DC electrical energy, owing to healthy traffic during
day time. Same should be applied for tracks of joggers’ park-this electricity
will light up roads at night-thereby decreasing dependence on non renewable-
pollutant energy sources.
Smart pay-n-park system: To ensure least space consuming parking, the smart
parking system should be employed-consisting of multi-storeyed parking
buildings, with automatic identification of the car by RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) devices.
Smart Toll booths employing RFID system: Tall booths are an integral part of
a highway, and lot of fuel is wasted in waiting lines of booth, so, instead, a
smart system consisting of automatic recognition of car and automatic
deduction of money from his account-linked with system previously-thus
vehicles need not to stop to pay toll. This would save ₹60,000 crores* per
annum for India. *Study and survey by Transport Corp. of India and IIM Calcutta.
9. Pollution free city: The citizens of the city should be encouraged to opt for
CNG and electric and/or Hybrid vehicles, and Charging stations should be
developed, in accordance to number of electric vehicles being used.
Plantations on both side of roads to be done-not only to decrease pollution
level but also to enhance scenic beauty of the city. In fact, the boundaries of
the city should be enveloped by healthy and variety of plantation to ensure
clean air within, thereby establishing a distinguished image of the city-easily
recognizable through GPS.
Green fuel usage -bio diesel for example should be emphasized.
One weird but interesting idea: Equipments for producing electricity from the
urine* (urea basically) by processing it and extracting clean water from it has
been developed, so installation of it in each public toilets and those in
entertainment places and corporate buildings would reduce considerably the
demand for electricity and water for toilets- making ‘self sustainable’toilets.
Making the citizens Hi-tech: Wi-Fi hotspots should be made available; a
very good example is that of Project Loon by Google Inc. tested successfully
in New Zealand. Fibre optic network for high speed internet throughout the
city with collaboration of such institutions.

10. Catering Electric Load: If the city is located nearby a healthy water
body, hydro-electric power plant is preferred. If good amount of
sunlight is received, then Solar Power plant should be established-the
cleanest energy source.
For the new city-and the newly developed extension of the city
underground wiring should be preferred.
Smart Substations should be established, with online monitoring system
which substantially increases the efficiency of transmission.
Disaster Management: The city management should be ready to act
instinctively at the time of any natural calamity such as Earthquake,
flood or storms-city should be prepared well to handle, and
arrangements should be made to avoid the flood like disaster by
designing the drainage system well in advance.
Security: The police force of the city should be well equipped with all
high tech amenities-24 hours patrolling to be emphasized. Thus the
outgrowing population will be well employed.
11. Enhancing citizens’ social level: Proposals for quality educational
institutions should be made.
Science Parks should be developed, public parks, playgrounds and
stadiums should be well nourished.
Shopping malls and other entertainment places like Multiplexes, River
fronts (if the city is on the river bank), Auditoriums, Planetariums,
Hotels and Museums with world class infrastructure should be
proposed.
These developments would not only beautify the city, but also help to
flourish a good Tourism Industry-Dubai, being a role model for that.
Ensuring good Health: Hospitals-both, publically and privately
managed-should be equipped with all sorts of modern medical
treatments.
Skyscrapers: Majority of corporate buildings should be heightened so
as to cover more area in less space-thereby saving land for anticipated
rise in populations. Residential areas also should be preferred to be
high rise buildings, of course with utmost care of durability in the
architecture. This will attract tourism too.
12. Economic aspects:
-To develop such cities across the country, the economic
aspects cannot be neglected. Budgets should be allotted
from central government to each states to develop
individually.
-Recent studies indicate that India must invest more than
$150 billion over the next 5 years in the development of
urban infrastructure.*
-Help of international monetary organisations should be
sought too.
-Public-Private Partnership (PPP) should be encouraged.
-Once the budget is allotted, then the developing cost can
be recovered once the city starts ‘living’-by means of
tourism industry, for example.
13. Conclusion:
Thus to develop a good ideal mother-like city, these aspects
mentioned above should be well taken care of.
Potentially no threat exist to these proposed solution-almost every
one would agree to it, owing to the promised and successful outcome.
Once developed, these futuristic cities would definitely help Indian
Economy rise up and make India stand in list of one of the strongest
economies. The future is of smart, green and energy efficient cities,
which would understand the needs of its population. The future lies in
these cities-encapsulating growing population of India and catering
all of its needs.
And at last, the events like ‘Manthan’ need to be there which
provide an excellent platform to bright minds to flourish and come up
with ideas to bring the nation up. Hats off from our team to the efforts
of ‘Manthan’..!
