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 Challenges arise as more and more people concentrated in the limited urban spaces, with outdated infrastructure, leading to a rapid increase in resource consumption and emissions.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.

SMART CITY: FEATURES THAT MAKE A CITY ‘SMART’”Yash Shah
Cities are engines of growth for the economy of every nation, including India. Nearly 31% of India’s current population lives in urban areas and contributes 63% of India’s GDP (Census 2011). With increasing urbanization, urban areas are expected to house 40% of India’s population and contribute 75% of India’s GDP by 2030. This requires comprehensive development of physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure. All are important in improving the quality of life and attracting people and investments to the City, setting in motion a virtuous cycle of growth and development. Development of Smart Cities is a step in that direction.
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 conceptualisation 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.
Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting programme launched by the Government of India on June 25, 2015 with a mission to develop 100 cities all over the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable (Government of India 2015). Each of the 100 Smart Cities will get Rs 100 crore every year for five years, with an equal contribution coming from the respective state government and the urban local body combined. The Mission is carried out through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), registered under the Companies Act, 2013.
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. Some definitional boundaries are required to guide cities in the Mission. In the imagination of any city dweller in India, the picture of a smart city contains a wish list of infrastructure and services that describes his or her level of aspiration. To provide for the aspirations and needs of the citizens, urban planners ideally aim at developing the entire urban eco-system, which is represented by the four pillars of comprehensive development-institutional, physical, social and economic infrastructure. This can be a long term goal and cities can work towards developing such comprehensive infrastructure incrementally, adding on layers of ‘smartness’.

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.
The Best 8 Smart Cities in India for Living.pdfnayanaNMH
India is demonstrating a rapid growth surge to catch up with the developed nations. Implementing the smart city mission is one such development. The greatest amenities would be available to citizens of an intelligent city in India. It makes wise use of the available terrain. 100 smart cities were the first goal set by the Indian government. This project is almost finish.
In his budget speech, Union Finance Minister Arjun Jaitley
said that “unless new cities are developed to accommodate
the burgeoning number of people, the existing cities would
soon become unliveable.” Modi wants to build over a 100
smart cities to deal with the rapidly increasing urbanisation,
traffic congestion and decreasing quality of people’s lives
and the environment. Fiscal constraints demand diligence
and that global ‘smart solutions’ be tailored to suit this
emerging economy where even basic amenities are hard to
come by for millions.
Smart Cities: Smarter Solutions for better tomorrowResurgent India
It is estimated that by 2030, 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas and contributing 75% of GDP. On account of the ongoing rural-to-urban migration, an estimated 400 million people are expected to migrate to cities over the next 15 years.

Gender budgeting and Transparency : Understandingthe National and Sub-Nationa...Paramita Majumdar (Ph.D)
It talks about the importance of budget transparency vis-a-vis Gender Budgeting. Gender Budgeting Statement has emerged as an accountability and transparency tool, But the local governments have not yet adopted GRB as a strategy for empowering women. Recent initiatives in Kerala and by the Ministry of Panchaytai Raj has ushered in a new beginning.
Women's participation in the labour market is dependent on a number of factors. The policies and the budget has to be gender sensitive to create an enabling environment for the women workers. We need to shift from the gender neutral approach to the gender sensitive approach.by asking the right questions during budget preparation.
Performance and outcomes are crucial for every penny that is spent. It is important to envision the outcome for every policy or programme/scheme, whether it is negative or positive, particularly for the Government. And for a state where budget deficit has become kind of norm, it is really really important
Data is the key for development and gender dis-aggregated data is crucial for all gender budgeting activities. Understanding with regard to gender sensitive quantitative and qualitative indicators is a must for mainstreaming gender across sectors and for all stakeholders- private or public

Smart cities occupy only 2% of the planet’s surface,
accommodate about 50% of the world’s population,
consumes 75% of the total generated energy and
are responsible for 80% of the greenhouse effect
In our country, 34% of the people live in urban centres
and the cities contribute to nearly 67% of the GDP and
90% of total government revenues.

Following the UN Bruntland Commission Report (1987) most
popular term was Sustainable City…..probably to limit
climate changes
Mid 1990s – Eco-Cities – idea of eliminating all carbon
waste
Late 1990s – Digital Cities became popular particularly in
Europe, suggesting a strong connection with the
exponentially growing information and telecommunication
technology and the large amount of information
2009 onwards it is the Smart Cities – incorporating
elements of sustainability and social inclusion along with
the internet technologies. More acceptable by the world as a
neutral term

A basic study of literature on smart cities reveals that International
Business Machine (IBM) is the pioneer of the smart city concept
(Paroutis et al 2014). The United States Patent and Trademark Office
confirms that the patent for the concept of “smart city” was registered
by IBM in 2011 (Söderström et al 2014). It was amidst the financial
recession that IBM orchestrated the smart city concept as a strategic
move to benefit from the changing urban landscape.
IBM is currently involved in about 2,000 smart city projects worldwide,
generating about $3 billion in revenue
After seeing the IBM’s competitive advantage in the field, other players
such as Cisco, Siemens AG, General Electricals, Intel, HP, Google,
Microsoft, Capita, Serco, Philips, Oracle, SAP, and Accenture started
to take an active interest in smart city building projects across the
globe (Kummitha 2018).

Both Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation
(AMRUT) and the Smart City Mission focus on making cities more
liveable by preserving open and green spaces, creating walkable
communities, and encouraging non-motorised transport, as well as
reducing average commuting times and recycling wastewater.
The MoUD has developed a set of ‘Liveability Standards in
Cities’ to generate a Liveability Index and rate cities. A total of 79
indicators (57 Core Indicators and 22 Supporting Indicators) have
been prescribed in the document. These have been grouped under
15 thematic categories, which in turn are part of the four pillars of
comprehensive development of cities, namely institutional, social,
economic and physical. Based on the performance of cities against
the various core and supporting indicators, various ‘Category Sub-
Indexes’ and a composite ‘City Liveability Index’ is developed for
each city. https://smartnet.niua.org/content/b0ceb13f-2559-4be1-86dc-8daa290d4fed

Rapid urbanization and the ever increasing demand for water is a
reality.
Smart City projects are largely around housing, infrastructure, open
spaces, finance and technology. Water management tends to be
clubbed together with climate change, in most cases
Most of the policies and public sector programmes in India are aimed
at the supply side of the problem, e.g. AMRUT, concerned about
expansion of piped water supply. This is of paramount importance as
less than 35% of urban households get piped water and no major
Indian city supplies 24×7 water to its entire population.
Therefore, sustainable water management ??? – Ground water levels
have been depleting rapidly over the last few years especially due to
the poorly managed extraction and excessive consumption. Cities like
Ahmadabad, New Delhi & Bangalore have witnessed a significant dip
in their water table.

The ‘Composite Water Management Index’ (CWMI) report NITI
Ayog released on June 2020 -India is facing the worst water crisis in
its history, and 21 Indian cities will run out of groundwater by
2020 including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, affecting
100 million people
The Central Water Commission states that for the 90 odd important
reservoirs across the country that feed our cities, levels have not
crossed more than half the total capacity in the past five years – a
worrying statistic given the general paucity of water data in India,
especially for urban spaces.
Wastewater plants with relevant technologies can be installed in the
city to treat municipal waste efficiently. Individuals and organizations
can also establish wastewater processes in their buildings at a
varying scale on the basis of their respective volumes. Singapore
has been able to successfully adopt smart wastewater management
to meet 40% of their water demand.

Effect of Covid-19 on our limited water supplies - Currently, we are
witnessing regular sanitisation drives in industries and offices,
frequent cleaning in homes, and increased hand-washing. A family
of five is reported to need 100 to 200 litres of water per day only to
wash hands. This would result in the generation of around 200
litres of wastewater per day, which amounts to 20 to 25 percent
increase in water demand and generation of wastewater from
human settlements
Individual responsibility and accountability: Smart cities need to
drive the responsible use of water through intelligent tracking
systems that monitor individual consumption, alerting people when
their usage exceeds recommended or predetermined limits. This will
ensure greater individual accountability and inculcate disciplined
use of resources.

The New Delhi City Centre (NDCC) is the only area selected from Delhi under the SCM. It is
situated within the NDMC area and is marked in red in the above map. NDCC is less than
one percent of Delhi’s area) selected for transformation over a period of ten years (2015-
2025).

NDMC Budget 2021-22, proposes to allocate Rs.166.12 crore
towards water supply management out of which Rs 7.36
crore towards Capital Expenditure and Rs. 158.76 crore towards
Revenue Expenditure.
Capital expenditures are typically one-time large purchases of fixed assets that will be used for revenue generation over a longer
period. Revenue expenditures are the ongoing operating expenses, which are short-term expenses used to run the daily business
operations
20. Smart Cities, Inclusion and Citizen
Participation ?
3/27/2021
Smart Cities and Urban Development in India,
Dr. Paramita Majumdar

Smartness’ is not a synonym for inclusion
Outlook of the SCM is Restrictive and fragmented - The focus SCM is not
on the entire area of the 100 shortlisted cities, but instead on select
pockets within these cities.
SCM focuses on digitalisation – SCM could exacerbate India’s digital
divide, which is also a gendered and an urban-rural divide
SCM talks about promoting the active participation of communities, but
on the other, there has been heightened corporate involvement in the
smart city-building process.
EOL Index doesn't really indicate the ground realities of Indian cities
because it provides information at the overall city level. The proportion of
slums and low-income households average about 25 percent of the total
population. These city-level indices do not reflect the level of services
and governance in low-income areas. The citizens and policymakers
need to consider them as a separate target group to improve services
and wellbeing.
The mission with its notion of inclusiveness fails to integrate disability as
a key issue. Cities are moving towards advanced, digital or smart
services yet the disabled population has to struggle hard to achieve basic
needs, widening the social stratification - neglected the access to IT
enabled solutions like e-governance and citizen services.

25 cities shortlisted for the Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge cohort, in
collaboration with the Bernard van Leer Foundation (BvLF) and technical
partner WRI India. The Challenge is a three-year initiative aimed at
supporting early childhood-friendly neighbourhoods under the SCM.
The MyGov platform allows the public to exchange ideas and views, which
are vital inputs for decision- and policymaking.
Websites created by urban local governments provide information and
various services to the citizens.
The EOL index captures the nature of urban living across Indian cities based
on three pillars – quality of life, economic ability, and sustainability. The
exercise is also accompanied with a Citizen Perception Survey to assess
whether the data aligns with the expectation of the urban population from their
cities.
However, along with a multi-sectoral and whole systems approach, there
needs to be more community-based learning and understanding. Secondly,
we need e.g., more water-sensitive infrastructure, housing and urban designs,
all of this incorporated into the initial stages of planning and development,
along with adapting existing infrastructure in older cities with new technology.
22. Smart Cities - Implementation challenges

1. Retrofitting existing legacy city infrastructure to make it smart e.g.
determine the existing city’s weak areas that need utmost consideration, e.g.
100-per-cent distribution of water supply and sanitation is a significant
challenge
2. Financing smart cities - how the projects will be financed as the majority of
project need would move through complete private investment or through
PPPs (public-private partnership)
3. Availability of master plan or city development plan – most cities don’t
have one
4. Financial sustainability of ULBs: Most ULBs are not financially self-
sustainable and tariff levels fixed by the ULBs for providing services often do
not mirror the cost of supplying the same. Even if additional investments are
recovered in a phased manner, inadequate cost recovery generally leads to
continued financial losses.

Smart Cities and Urban Development in India,
Dr. Paramita Majumdar

5. Technical constraints of ULBs: Most ULBs have limited technical capacity to
ensure timely and cost-effective implementation and subsequent operations and
maintenance owing to limited recruitment over a number of years along with inability of
the ULBs to attract best of talent at market competitive compensation rates.
6. Three-tier governance: Successful implementation of smart city solutions needs
effective horizontal and vertical coordination between various institutions providing
various municipal amenities as well as effective coordination between central
government (MoUD), state government and local government agencies
7. Providing clearances in a timely manner: For timely completion of the project, all
clearances should use online processes and be cleared in a time-bound manner.
8. Dealing with a multivendor environment: The ability to handle complex
combinations of smart city solutions developed by multiple technology vendors becomes
very significant.
9. Capacity building programme: Building capacity for 100 smart cities is not an easy
task and most ambitious projects are delayed owing to lack of quality manpower, both at
the centre and state levels.
