Smart City in India: How it can change the face of country
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often talked of smart cities. Even in his election speeches he had hinted at how this project has occupied his mind. So, as Singapore has offered to build smart cities in India, Narendra Modi government has expressed its keenness for cities like Tianjin knowledge city.
Saying that a strong and vibrant India is essential for peace and stability in Asia, Singapore foreign minister K. Shanmugam has told a daily about how Modi was keen about ports and port management, skill development, building of smart cities and water solutions. Now, the Singapore foreign minister assured to share that country's technology and experience.
Singapore has also offered help in Modi's dream project of building 100 smart cities along the key infrastructure projects such as Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor entailing setting up of seven Greenfield Smart Cities between Delhi and Mumbai with three Smart Cities at Dholera, Shendra-Bidkin and Global City to be built by 2019.
SMART CITIES: WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
1. China has a Tianjin knowledge city and some smart cities include Suxhou, Guangzhou and Szechuan.
2. Eighteen kilometers off Ahmedabad airport, the Gujarat International Financial Tec (GIFT) City may become the first city in Narendra Modi's dream project.
3. According to reports, this project that costs Rs.70000 crore is spread over 886 acres. The construction that began in 2011 will take a decade to build. Two towers and few banks among others have already signed up.
4. At least 5 lakh direct jobs and an equal number of indirect jobs are promised.
5. At the facility, while solid waste will be sucked out from homes and offices through pipelines leading directly to a waste processing plant, a fully functional GIFT City will have a command centre with information and communication technology infrastructure to manage everyday chores.
6. According to IBM, which is working on 2,500 smart city projects globally, a smart city uses technology to transform its core systems.
7. While the BJP had promised to build 100 hi-tech cities, it takes 20-30 years to build a new city. So, seven new smart cities are being developed along the proposed Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).
8. A smart city's core infrastructure is information technology, where a network of sensors, cameras, wireless devices, data centres form the key infrastructure providing essential services. Being environmentally friendly, smart cities use sustainable materials for building facilities and reduce energy consumption.
