This document provides an overview of smart cities in India according to the government's definition. It outlines the key components of smart cities including smart economy, mobility, environment, housing, utilities, and governance. It discusses different strategies for developing smart cities such as retrofitting existing areas, redeveloping areas, and developing new greenfield sites. The government's Smart Cities Mission aims to develop 100 cities by focusing on adequate infrastructure and quality of life through technology and public-private partnerships. Examples provided include the Gujarat International Finance Tec City being developed as a global finance and IT hub.

1. SMART CITIES for india
DR K M SONI, CHIEFENGINEER, CPWD, MUMBAI

2. SMART PEOPLE
 Are said to be well dressed, fashionable, stylish,
elegant, neat and spruced up.

3. Smart persons are not
necessary to be intelligent
but are clever enough
Smart cities may not necessary
be ideal but are smart enough to
call themselves superior to
others.

4. DEFINITION OF SMART CITY
 No standard definition
 City that has sustainable development and high
quality of life by way of economy, mobility,
environment, housing, utilities and governance using
information and communication technology.
 A smart city is one that makes urban life
comfortable and improves living standards through
good governance, efficient health care services and
education, 24 x 7 power and water supply, efficient
transport, high quality sanitation, employment to
the needy and robust cyber connectivity and benefits
all irrespective of income, age and gender.

6. SMART ECONOMY
Smart economy refers to;
i. Productivity,
ii. Entrepreneurship,
iii. Trade,
iv. Economic conditions,
v. Employment opportunities,
vi. International embedment,
vii. Innovative spirit and
viii. Ability to transform.

7. Thus smart economy may
require lowering of taxes,
long term tax
concessions and
subsidized land for
development.

8. SMART MOBILITY
Smart mobility includes;
i. Convenient and safe multimodal
travel,
ii. Speed,
iii. Accessibility,
iv. Traffic management,
v. Circulation network and
vi. Efficient use of land.

9. Smart mobility of people and
freight is again interlinked to
economic growth,
environment sustainability
and enhancing quality of life
for people.

10. SMART ENVIRONMENT
Smart environment includes;
i. Physical environment,
ii. Human environment,
iii. Working environment,
iv. Atmospheric environment,
v. Governing environment and
vi. Computing environment

11. Smart environment will be
governed using information
and communication
technologies and have
green collar jobs, and no
polluting industries.

12. SMART buildings/HOUSING
Smart housing includes;
i. Savings of natural resources in terms
of energy, water and material
efficiency,
ii. Functional efficiency in terms of
proper orientation, and IAQ.
iii. Comfort and cultural bindings.

13. Smart buildings/ Smart
Houses will be sustainable
buildings, IT governed and
costly (with respect to
capital and maintenance)
compared to normal
buildings.

14. SMART UTILITIES
Services including water
supply, sewerage and drainage,
electricity, education, health,
safety, security, insurance,
telephone, Wi-Fi, business and
funeral facilities.

15. Smart meters and smart services
will be IT driven. The
government has been making
efforts to create efficient utility
services in the existing cities
through JNNURM (Jawaharlal
Nehru National Urban Renewal
Mission) during last many years
but the mission has not been
very successful.

16. SMART GOVERNANCE
Smart governance is about the decision
making and management of the public
services with;
• Efficiency,
• Community leadership,
• Continuous improvement, innovation,
and efficient technological services.

17. As per Hon’ble minister of urban
development smart governance
includes Smart Leadership that is
bold, initiative bearing, willing and
able to take hard decisions like
raising, if required and recovering
cost of services, implement reforms
in governance, prevent unauthorized
constructions besides removing
encroachments and take on mafia.

18. SMART PEOPLE
As defined during the conference
on “National conclave of
states/UTs on smart cities”, smart
people are those; able to question,
pay the cost of services, prevent
fellow citizens from violating rules
and demand their due and are
alert.

19. Thus people living in smart
cities are well educated,
aware of their rights, and
very importantly able to pay
the cost of services.

20. Cost of services/ Maintenance Charges
As per the report published in Mumbai Mirror
on April 12, 2013, “Some of Mumbai’s ultra
plush residential societies charge monthly
maintenance fees that go up to Rs 1 lakh per
flat, ......”
It was further reported in 2013 that flat
maintenance charges are Rs 17000 in
Goregaon west and varying from Rs 29900 to
100000 per month in Mahalaxmi (Rs 9 to 13
per sqft).

21. i. Any study of
maintenance charges in
case of smart cities?
ii. Please guess it as you
all are smart and be smart
to pay it.

22. AND THEN FOR SMART PEOPLE, THERE IS
MORE ;
The Smart Cities Mission requires smart
people who actively participate in
governance and reforms much more than
ceremonial.
Smart people involve themselves in the
definition of the Smart City, decisions on
deploying Smart Solutions, implementing
reforms, doing more with less and oversee
the implementation and designing post-
project structures in order to make the
Smart City developments sustainable.

27. Do we accept this definition or we
need to define smart cities as our own?
(taken from internet)

28. Smart cities are to be defined in indian context
particularly when we are inviting foreign investors as
their requirements and definition may not be as per our
requirements and even implementable in india.

29. WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT THINKS?
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.
In the Smart Cities Mission, the objective
is to promote cities that provide core
infrastructure and give a decent quality of
life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable
environment and application of ‘Smart’
Solutions.

30. CORE INFRASTRUCTURE IN A SMART CITY
 Adequate water supply, and Assured electricity
supply,
 Sanitation, including solid waste management,
 Efficient urban mobility and public transport,
 Affordable housing, especially for the poor,
 Robust IT connectivity and digitalization,
 Good governance, especially e-Governance and
citizen participation,
 Sustainable environment,
 Safety and security of citizens, particularly women,
children and the elderly, and
 Health and education.

31. FEATURES OF SMART CITIES
 Promoting mixed land use in area based developments
 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.
 Preserving and developing open spaces - parks,
playgrounds, and recreational spaces
 Promoting a variety of transport options - Transit
Oriented Development (TOD), public transport

32.  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.
 Forming 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.

34. STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SMART
CITIES
RETROFITTING
RE-DEVELOPMENT
GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT
MIX DEVELOPMENT
PAN CITY FEATURES WITH SMART
SOLUTIONS

35. RETROFITTING
 Retrofitting will introduce planning in an existing
built-up area to become smart. In retrofitting, an area
consisting of more than 500 acres will be identified
by the city in consultation with citizens. Depending
on the existing level of infrastructure services in the
identified area and the vision of the residents, the
cities will prepare a strategy to become smart.
 Since existing structures are largely to remain intact
in this model, it is expected that more intensive
infrastructure service levels and a large number of
smart applications will be packed into the retrofitted
smart city.

36. REDEVELOPMENT
 Redevelopment will be a replacement of the existing
built-up environment and enable co-creation of a
new layout with enhanced infrastructure using
mixed land use and increased density.
Redevelopment envisages an area of more than 50
acres, identified by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in
consultation with citizens. For instance, a new
layout plan of the identified area will be prepared
with mixed landuse, higher FSI and high ground
coverage. Two examples of the redevelopment
model are the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project in
Mumbai (also called the Bhendi Bazaar Project) and
the redevelopment of East Kidwai Nagar in New
Delhi.

37. GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT
 Greenfield development will be introduced in a
previously vacant area (more than 250 acres) using
innovative planning, plan financing and plan
implementation tools (e.g. land pooling/ land
reconstitution) with provision for affordable housing,
especially for the poor. Greenfield developments are
required around cities in order to address the needs of
the expanding population. One well known example is
the GIFT City in Gujarat.
 Unlike retrofitting and redevelopment, greenfield
developments could be located either within the limits
of the ULB or within the limits of the local Urban
Development Authority (UDA).

38. PAN CITY DEVELOPMENT
 Pan-city development envisages application of selected
Smart Solutions to the existing city-wide infrastructure.
Application of Smart Solutions will involve the use of
technology, information and data to make infrastructure
and services better. For example, applying Smart
Solutions in the transport sector (intelligent traffic
management system) and reducing average commute
time or cost of citizens will have positive effects on
productivity and quality of life of citizens. Another
example can be waste water recycling and smart
metering which can make a huge contribution to better
water management in the city

39. SMART CITIES
 The government has announced a list of 98 cities to be developed as
smart cities. These include Port blair, Vishakhapatnam, Tirupati,
Kakinada, Pasighat, Guwahati, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Biharsharif,

40. SMART CITIES IN INDIA
24 Capital Cities
24 are business and Industrial
centres
18 are culture and tourism
influenced areas,
5 are port cities and
3 are education and health care
hubs.

41. Gujarat International Finance Tec City (GIFT)
• GIFT is being developed as a global finance and IT hub
has an area of 358.55 ha out of which 53.19 ha being
processing area, and 52.25 ha as non processing area.
Processing area includes international financial service
centre, international techno park, international market
zone, commodity exchanges area, global trading
exchanges area, and area for insurance, offshore
banking, IT, KPO/BPO services, and data centre. Non
processing zone includes related commercial offices and
other office buildings, service apartments and residential
flats, hostels and restaurants, food courts, business
hotel, shopping centre, retail stores, banks, training
centre, medical centre, theatre, post office, telephone
exchange, police station, security, and regulators offices
etc.
• Mass housing for common public is not planned.

42. GUJARAT INTERNATIONAL FINANCE TEC CITY
(GIFT)
 Fiscal incentives for developers and co-developers
includes no excise duty, no sales tax, no service tax, no
purchase tax, no stamp duty and registration fee, no
registration on mortgage, no electricity duty and no
income tax for ten years. Units also have similar
exemptions except in income tax in which they have 100%
exemption for first five years, 50% for the next five years
and 50% of profits ploughed back for the next 5 years.
 The development is being taken up by the joint venture of
Gujarat Urban Development Company and Infrastructure
Leasing & Financial Services Limited (IL&FS).
 The estimated cost of the project is Rs 70000 crore. It will
have a built up area of 79,00,000 sqm. Thus present cost
of construction is about Rs 88607 per sqm including
development.

43. DEVELOPMENT OF SMART CITIES IN INDIA
 Government of India announced in the budget of
2014-15 to develop one hundred smart cities to be
selected from all over India through Public Private
Partnership (PPP) model and even earmarked 100
crore per city per year for 5 years.
 48000 crore will be given to these cities by
Central Govt and balance 48000 crore are to be
generated by state governments for 100 cities.

44.  The GOI funds and the matching contribution by the
States/ULB will meet only a part of the project cost. Balance
funds are expected to be mobilized from:
 i. States/ ULBs own resources from collection of user fees,
beneficiary charges and impact fees, land monetization, debt,
loans, etc.
 ii. Additional resources transferred due to acceptance of the
recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission
(FFC).
 iii. Innovative finance mechanisms such as municipal bonds
with credit rating of ULBs, Pooled Finance Mechanism, Tax
Increment Financing (TIF).
 iv. Other Central Government schemes like Swachh Bharat
Mission, AMRUT, National Heritage City Development and
Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY).
 v. Leverage borrowings from financial institutions, including
bilateral and multilateral institutions, both domestic and
external sources.
 vi. States/UTs may also access the National Investment and
Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), announced in 2015 Budget and is
likely to be set up this year.
 vii. Private sector through PPPs.

53. ISSUES RELATED TO SMART CITIES
 Decision on common housing schemes
 Decide for economy (Industrial Development,
Tourism)
 Decide for maintenance, operation and service
charges
 Decide for Requirements of various smart cities
(Physical, Social, Economic and Institutional
Infrastructure).
 Categorise them within 3 or 4 classifications
like Group A, B , C..
 Whether Government can leave it on market to
develop smart cities and form only the
guidelines.

54. CONCLUSIONS
 Smart cities to be developed according to the
requirement of that particular area considering the
sources of economy of that particular area. Integrate
“Smart cities” and “Make in India”.
 Classify smart cities according to infrastructure
requirement of that region/area.
 Existing physical, social, institutional, and economic
infrastructure of that particular area to be integrated
in Smart city.
 Development to be based on minimum migration. Let
the rural areas become part of inclusive
development.
 Objective of development is for up-liftment of
common man.
