The document discusses characteristics of cities and smart cities. Regarding cities, it notes that cities are the final stage of human civilization and consist of complex systems and structures for human living. Major problems cities face include crowding, water and food supply issues, transportation, power shortages, and pollution. The document then discusses components of cities such as residential, commercial, industrial, education, and transportation areas.
For smart cities, it outlines characteristics like smart connections through transportation and online access, a smart economy with high-paying jobs and business support, smart people with access to education and training, smart living with healthcare and safety, smart governance for effective service delivery, and a smart environment that balances growth and environmental protection.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND MULTILAYER DIMENSIONS OF EVOLVING CITIES FOR A SUSTAINAB...Sai Bhaskar Reddy Nakka
Cities are growing at a rapid phase, due to exponential growth of populations all over the world. The world population might stabilize by 2070 after reaching the peak population levels of about 9 billion. Already the urban population, living mostly in cities has reached 50% of the world population. Cities in the last few centuries have evolved coping with changes in social, economic, cultural, aesthetics, utility, historical, political, natural and environmental factors. There is always an interface between the interests of old and new generations of people sharing the same space. The buildings have more life than the people living in them. Each building is at least able to provide space for at least two generations. The comfort levels of one generation and the next are different in same space. There are often changes brought with time in any building. Similarly the infrastructure is also changing at a rapid phase as the transportation means and systems are changing. The access to power, drinking water, and open spaces for cultural and social events, educational institutions, markets, etc. also impacts the living space. The security and basic amenities are the main factors of consideration for not moving away from the congested cities. There is always an overlap of old and new adaptation factors, creating resilience for coexistence. The remembrance of a space and events in once own life time impact the people, and they love to continue in similar space. There is a kind of energy that one gets, while returning to the same space, it is often seen that the old people prefer living in the space they are used to and they often live longer too. There are emotions too acting up on the life of the people. Considering all the above factors, each city can be considered a single organism, having its own identity and also there are various diverse spaces within it. It is like a human body single living things, but various parts of the human body function for the happiness of the whole. There is a need to understand multifunctional and multilayer dimensions of the cities, for making a sustainable living in the cities.

L’urbanisme désigne l'ensemble des sciences, des techniques et des arts relatifs à l'organisation et à l'aménagement des espaces urbains, en vue d'assurer le bien-être de l'homme et d'améliorer les rapports sociaux en préservant l'environnement. Les professionnels qui exercent ce métier sont des urbanistes.
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
1. Letter to all state governments to shortlist potential Smart Cities based on Stage-I criteria according to a number of Smart Cities distributed across states /UTs by the MoUD. This is the first stage of the Intra-State competition.
2. On the basis of response from States/UTs, the list of potential 100 Smart Cities is announced. The second stage of the All India competition begins.
3. Each potential Smart City prepares its proposal assisted by a consultant (from a panel prepared by MoUD) and a hand-holding External Agency (various offers received such as World Bank, ADB, GEF, USTDA, JICA, DFID, AFD, KfW, UN-Habitat)
4. By stipulated date, Stage 2 proposals submitted. Evaluation by a panel of experts.
5. Selected cities declared – Round 1 Smart Cities
6. Selected cities set up SPV and start the implementation of their SCP. Preparation of DPRs, tenders, etc. and Other cities prepare to improve their proposal for the next round of the Challenge
