• Where are the Smart Cities?
• Does Smart = Sustainable?
• How can the investment be justified?
• How can success be measured?
The document discusses key aspects of making Dhaka, Bangladesh a smart and inclusive city. It outlines the population growth challenges facing Dhaka, with the city's population reaching 18 million in 2016 and growing at 4.2% annually. Rural to urban migration accounts for around 60% of Dhaka's population growth. The document also notes issues with Dhaka's current drainage and sewerage system, which includes canals and retention areas but is inadequate to support the large population. Developing smart infrastructure and governance solutions could help address these challenges and make Dhaka a more sustainable city.
India’s recent stand on Smart City Development and involvement of various high income countries; initiates the talk of ideal variables for smart city evolution by our own standards. With a vision of Urban Governance for general livability, it becomes imperative to study these parameters and ensure the evolution of our own concept of a Smart City. Our spatial planning models based on unique factors such as Human Diversity, Physical-Social networks and ICT impact on urban fabric, City resilience, etc. make it all the more interesting to evolve a blueprint for Planning a Smart City.
The paper centers the infrastructural developments for the Smart Urban Development in India. The research helps us arrive at a general line of action for Urban Planning implications catering to the Infrastructure Sector, amongst others; thus affecting environmental, social and economic structure significantly. The study further finds the scope of progress, encouraged from various government policies for successful implementation of Smart City Development. It also allows a peek into future scenario of improvements and deliberations particular to Indian standards in consideration with the scenario of other countries.
The document discusses India's Smart Cities Mission. It defines a smart city as having basic infrastructure and using smart solutions to improve services. The mission aims to provide infrastructure, improve quality of life, and apply smart and sustainable solutions. Cities will develop areas using three models: retrofitting existing areas, redeveloping areas over 50 acres, and developing new greenfield sites. Smart solutions involve using IT to improve services like water management. The selection process involves cities competing within and across states. Most investment will go toward area development, urban mobility, and economic development projects. Implementation is ongoing, with continued growth in project tenders, grounding, and completions over time.
Smart cities of the future have arrived, using technologies like sensors, wireless connectivity, and data analysis to make infrastructure like transportation, waste management, and energy use more efficient. Key elements of smart cities include using data from sensors embedded throughout the city to optimize systems for residents' needs, integrate infrastructure planning, and apply information and communication technologies across all city systems. As technologies advance, cities will retrofit older buildings for energy efficiency, deploy more renewable energy sources, offer improved public transportation options and traffic management through sensors, and apply sensors in public spaces to enhance services and identify issues. Residents will benefit from smart home technologies, drone deliveries, and analytics of their travel patterns to improve urban planning.
Smart cities aim to use information and communication technologies to improve efficiency and sustainability in urban areas while reducing costs. Sensors around the city monitor various factors and transmit data to authorities to facilitate better planning. Technologies used include CCTV, traffic sensors, and crime prediction software. At the proposed GIFT City in Gujarat, a smart waste management system uses underground pipes and plasma incineration to efficiently dispose of waste and generate power. The smart city development models include retrofitting existing areas, redeveloping areas over 50 acres, and greenfield development on over 250 acres of vacant land.

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.
The document discusses smart cities, which aim to provide a high quality of life through smart technology solutions that improve infrastructure, governance, mobility, living, and the environment. It describes the key components of smart cities and provides examples of Barcelona and Sri City, highlighting Barcelona's transit systems, renewable energy, and innovation district. The document concludes that smart cities are necessary for sustainable progress in the modern world.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Smart Cities of India
1.
2. 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.
A Smart City would have a different connotation in India
than, say, Europe.
India, there is no one way of defining a Smart City.
3. Adequate water supply
Assured electricity supply
Sanitation, including solid waste management
Efficient urban mobility and public transport
Affordable housing, especially for the poor

7. Each aspiring city competes for selection as a
Smart City in what is called a ‘City Challenge’.
There are two stages in the selection process. After
the number has been indicated to the respective
Chief Secretaries, as outlined in para 8 above, the
State/UT will undertake the following steps:-
1. Stage 1 of the competition: Shortlisting of cities
by States.
2. Stage 2 of the competition: The Challenge round
for selection.
8. The State/UT begins with shortlisting the potential Smart Cities
on the basis of conditions precedent and scoring criteria and in
accordance with the total number allocated to it. The first stage
of the competition will be intra-state, in which cities in the State
will compete on the conditions precedent and the scoring criteria
laid out. These conditions precedent have to be met by the
potential cities to succeed in the first round of competition and
the highest scoring potential Smart Cities will be shortlisted and
recommended to participate in Stage 2 of the Challenge. The
conditions precedent and the forms are given in the Annexure 3.
The information sent by the ULBs in the forms has to be
evaluated by the State Mission Director and the evaluation
placed before the State-level High Powered Steering Committee
(HPSC) for approval. The composition of the State HPSC is
given in para 13.
9. The cities emerging successful in the first round of
competition will be sent by the State/UT as the recommended
shortlist of Smart Cities to MoUD by the stipulated date (to be
indicated in the letter to Chief Secretaries). The State
Government has to fill the form (given in Annexure 3) and
send with the recommended list. The MoUD will thereafter
announce the list of 100 Smart Cities.
10. In the second stage of the competition, each of the potential
100 Smart Cities prepare their proposals for participation in
the ‘City Challenge’. This is a crucial stage as each city’s
Smart CityProposal is expected to contain the model chosen,
whether retrofitting or redevelopment or greenfield
development or a mix thereof, and additionally include a Pan-
City dimension with Smart Solutions. The SCP will also outline
the consultations held with the city residents and other
stakeholders, how the aspirations are matched with the vision
contained in the SCP and importantly, what is the proposal for
financing of the Smart City plan including the revenue model
to attract private participation. An evaluation criteria for the
SCPs has been worked out by MoUD based on professional
advice and this should act as guidance to the cities for
preparing their proposal.
11. By a stipulated date, to be indicated by MoUD to the
States/UTs, proposals will be submitted to MoUD for
all these 100 cities. These will be evaluated by a
Committee involving a panel of national and
international experts, organizations and institutions.
The winners of the first round of Challenge will be
announced by MoUD. Thereafter, while the winning
cities start taking action on making their city smart,
those who do not get selected will start work on
improving their SCPs for consideration in the second
round. Depending on the nature of the SCPs and
outcomes of the first round of the Challenge, the
MoUD may decide to provide handholding assistance
to the potential Smart Cities to upgrade their
proposals before starting the second round.

13. Institutional Infrastructure (including Governance), Physical
Infrastructure, Social Infrastructure and Economic Infrastructure
constitute the four pillars on which a city rests. The centre of attention
for each of these pillars is the citizen. In other words a Smart city
works towards ensuring the best for its entire people, regardless of
social status, age, income, levels, gender, etc.
1. Institutional Infrastructure refers to the activities that relate to the
planning and management systems in a city. The new technology has
provided a new dimension to this system making it efficient,
accountable and transparent. It includes the participatory systems of
governance, e-governance, inclusive governance, the sense of safety
and security and the opportunities for creativity.
2. Physical Infrastructure refers to its stock of cost-efficient and
intelligent physical infrastructure such as the urban mobility system,
the housing stock, facilities, solid waste management system, drainage
system, etc. Which are all integrated through the use of technology.
14. 3. Social Infrastructure refers to those component that work towards
developing the human and social capital, such as the educational,
healthcare, entertainment, etc. It also includes entertainment and
sports, the open spaces and parks. These together determine the
quality of life of citizens in a city. It is also necessary that city
promotes inclusiveness and city has structures which proactively
bring disadvantageous sections i.e. SCs, STs, socially and financially
backwards, minorities, disabled and women into the mainstream of
development.
4. Economics Infrastructure for a city to attract investments and create
the appropriate economic infrastructure for employment
opportunities, it has to first identify its core competence, comparative
advantages and analyse its potential for generating economic
activities. Once that is done, the gaps in required economic
infrastructure can be determined. This would generally comprise the
following :
15. Industrial parks and export processing zones
IT/BT Parks
Trade centres
Service centres
Skill development centres
Financial centres and services
Logistics hubs, warehousing and freight terminals
Mentoring and counselling services

21. 1. Smart economy
2. Smart mobility
3. Smart environment
4. Smart people
5. Smart living
6. Smart governance
22. The economy of a smart-
city relies on a connected
infrastructure in order to
work closely in
collaboration with all the
other aspects of the city.
Smart-cities economy
needs to create a
pleasant atmosphere to
live, to work, to grow
up. One of the objective
is to create more
qualification for citizens
and to establish a
satisfactory level of
employment.
23. Create an unique
transportation system
where different means
of transportation in
smart-cities are
brought together. The
objective is to bring
more synergies with
this organization and
to manage each mean
of transportation in
collaboration with
others.
24. Two major aspects are
taken in consideration
in this domain, the
waste processing and
the energy
management. In the
first one, it’s a
necessity to reduce the
garbage quantity and
to improve the waste
management process.
And in the second
point, cities need to
increase their energetic
efficiency.
25. A Smart-city is built
around the citizens, by
taking in consideration
their needs and
requirements. Citizens
are no longer
considered as users,
consumers of city
servicies, but as actors
and partners of smart-
cities. The human
dimension is a really
important part of the
concept.
26. The objective is to redefine
the concept of city
planning, because the
current way to manage
cities will become obsolete
in a near future. The
explanation is the growing
overload of cities, which
leads to a lake of place in
metropolises. There is also
a need of innovation for the
habitations themselves in
order to follow the cities
progress around them.
27. The Smart-city concept
relies on new technologies
and new concepts about the
information process. But
these technologies and
concepts are not enough to
be a real smart-city.
Indeed, the city needs to
use these tools in a
coherent way and needs to
be governed in order to use
the optimal potential of the
cities. That means having a
transparency in the
organization and consider
the citizen in the center of
the organization.
28. We adopted a
structured approach
that involved the
detailed assessment
of fundamental and
critical data vectors
for smart city
transformation and
to take cognisance of
city readiness to
achieve the smart
city vision.

In the 21st century, cities will account for
90% of population growth
80% of global CO2 emissions
75% of energy use

37. Ahmedabad, spanning an area of 464 km2, has a population of 63 lakh.
In the power domain, the city has a consolidated score of 7.97. The city
ranks high on parameters of power quality, 24X7 power supply, billing
efficiency, metering and online payment facility. There is scope for
improvement in terms of technology intervention in areas of metering
and energy efficiency. Water has a consolidated score of 6.83 in
Ahmedabad, and the city needs to improve its water loss mitigation
mechanism, billing efficiency, round-the-clock availability of water and
metering of water connections. Also, there is scope for substantial
improvement in technology interventions for these areas. In the area of
municipal corporation, the city has a consolidated score of 7.76.
Ahmedabad scores fairly well in facilities such as online licence issuance,
complaint registration, property tax payment, birth and death
registration and online sanction of building plans. With scores of 5.20
and 5.22 in solid waste management and storm water drainage
respectively, there is considerable scope for improvement in these
domains. Also, the city needs to work on its facilities in the areas of
transport and overall sustainability, accounting for scores of 5.81 and
5.75

42. Surat, spanning an area of 326.5 km2,
has a population of 44 lakh. With a
score of 8.87, the city scores fairly
well in the power sector. This is
attributable to its robust electricity
grid operations and management that
is complemented by its efficiencies in
metering, billing and collection. In
areas such as water, transport and
solid waste management, Surat has
consolidated scores of 7.33, 5.81 and
5.40 respectively. The city is required
to significantly improve its
technology intervention in all areas of
solid waste management. In addition,
there is scope for more technology
intervention in education, health and
storm water drainage.

44. Some typical features of comprehensive development in Smart Cities are
described below.
Promoting mixed land use in area-based developments — planning for
‘unplanned areas’ containing a range of compatible activities and land uses
close to one another in order to make land use more efficient. The States will
enable some flexibility in land use and building bye-laws to adapt to change;
Housing and inclusiveness - expand housing opportunities for all;
Creating walkable localities -reduce congestion, air pollution and resource
depletion, boost local economy, promote interactions and ensure security. The
road network is created or refurbished not only for vehicles and public
transport, but also for pedestrians and cyclists, and necessary administrative
services are offered within walking or cycling distance;
Preserving and developing open spaces — parks, playgrounds, and recreational
spaces in order to enhance the quality of life of citizens, reduce the urban heat
effects in Areas and generally promote eco-balance;
45. Promoting a variety of transport options — Transit Oriented
Development (TOD), public transport and last mile para-transport
connectivity;
Making governance citizen-friendly and cost effective — increasingly
rely on online services to bring about accountability and transparency,
especially using mobiles to reduce cost of services and providing
services without having to go to municipal offices; form e-groups to
listen to people and obtain feedback and use online monitoring of
programs and activities with the aid of cyber tour of worksites;
Giving an identity to the city — based on its main economic activity,
such as local cuisine, health, education, arts and craft, culture, sports
goods, furniture, hosiery, textile, dairy, etc;
Applying Smart Solutions to infrastructure and services in area-based
development in order to make them better. For example, making Areas
less vulnerable to disasters, using fewer resources, and providing
cheaper services.
46.
47. To generate a major reduction of the consumption of raw
material, such as electricity, water, gas.
The implementation of an efficient control of resources in the
city.
Make the city more comfortable to live, to work, to move and
to enjoy the life.
Help citizens to take decisions every day for each situation.
48. Growing population
Traffic congestion
Space – homes and public space
Resource management (water and energy use)
Global warming (carbon emissions)
Tighter city budgets
Aging infrastructure
Heritage City Development
49. To understand the evolution of the market.
To master all steps of the project management.
To know precisely the organization of the city.
To master the management of information between all actors
of the project.
To manage the correct integration of actors in the project. And
to be sure that all actors will agree with decisions that have to
be taken. Today, the majority of actors involved in “smart-
city” projects belongs to the NICT field.
50. To be able to become a smart-city, a city needs to have a few
characteristics as requirements:
Transportation investment
Human capital investment
Social investment
IT and telecoms investment
Control of water, electricity, gas, waste
A great organization of public services
51. Smart cities are on the increase worldwide, and especially within
Europe there are many initiatives stimulated by the EC and the national
governments. Local administrators and policy makers will be
increasingly driven to make their cities competitive in order to attract
businesses, talent and taxpayers, and to comply with sustainable
policies, greenhouse gas emission targets and carbon footprint
guidelines.
Smart city deployments will involve multi-faceted developments,
carried out by a diverse ecosystem of providers in innovative domains,
involving state-of-the-art technology including critical and complex
ICT implementations.
However, increasing ICT complexity will mean increasing
vulnerability, both to malicious attacks and unintentional incidents. By
conceiving interconnected urban systems with security and information
protection in mind, city administrators will be able to ensure safety and
wellbeing for citizens and businesses alike.
52. Security threats are now an integral consideration in the
private sector boardroom, and for policy making within the
public sector. Public administrators know that any serious
incident or breach could result in devastating outcomes in
terms of financial, data, credibility and reputation loss or
damage.
Choosing reputable, experienced thought leaders as partners in
conceiving such complex developments is an important step in
the right direction towards building resilient smart cities for
the twenty-first century.
