Welcome to the Future

Education, employment  and entertainment will be the three  focus areas of these new cities. Considering the wide problems that  are expected to be eradicated in smart city, investment in these cities is also becoming a hot topic of discussion in present times. The idea of Indian smart cities is even attracting foreign aid with  the US and Japan agreeing on investing in building these smart cities

Ever since the new Government  announced the  plan to build  100 smart cities in the country, the  concept  has been   attracting   attention   from   companies and innovators  alike. The aim set forth is to build  self-sustainable cities enabled with  latest technologies and infrastructure facilities in the next five years.

Filling the Gap

In a report, India’s Urban Awakening, by McKinsey it was stated that India would need to build 20 to 30 cities in the next decade alone to accommodate a huge population migrating to the urban areas. Furthermore, it is estimated that by 2030,the number of people living in cities would grow from 340 million in 2008 to around 590 million. Looking  to  the  past, it took  almost  40 years (1971- 2008) for the urban population in India to grow by 230 million. The report also suggests that to accommodate at least one million  people, India  needs to  build  about  25 satellite cities near large Tier I and Tier II cities.

The urban population  is estimated to grow at an alarming rate. In fact, by 2050, half of the Indian population  would  be living in urban areas and therefore, to meet the massive demand there is an urgent need for well-planned  urban redevelopment and  improved  public transportation. City planners have been giving a serious thought to develop means to deal with this pressing problem. A smart city is one concept that seems to be an answer.

Future of Urban Development

New and emerging technologies are poised to play a vital role in providing new improved lifestyle to the people in urban areas. With a wide use of ultra­ low  power  sensors, web  and  mobile-based applications and wireless networks, smart cities would soon become a reality.

So how does a city become smart? By definition, a smart   city   is  one   that   completely   runs  on technology-be it for electricity, water, sanitation and  recycling, ensuring 24/7  water  supply and traffic   and   transport   systems that   use  data analytics to  provide  efficient  solutions  to  ease commuting. Along with these, a smart city also has automated   building   security  and   surveillance systems, requiring  minimal  human intervention, and Wi-Fi-powered open spaces and houses that ensure always-on and high-speed connectivity.

Why Invest in a Smart City?

Smart city is a world  known concept of a sustainable township linked to a central command centre from where the entire city is controlled. According  to  IBM, which  is working  on  2,500 smart city projects globally, a smart city uses technology to transform its core systems.
