INTRODUCTION
Cities accommodate nearly 31% of India's current population and contribute 63% of GDP
(Census 2011). 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 investment, setting in motion a virtuous cycle of growth and
development. Development of Smart Cities is a step in that direction.
The Smart Cities Mission is an innovative and new initiative by the Government of India to drive
economic growth and improve the quality of life of people by enabling local development and
harnessing technology as a means to create smart outcomes for citizens.
WHAT IS A SMART CITY
Smart Cities focus on their most pressing needs and on the
greatest opportunities to improve lives. They tap a range of
approaches - digital and information technologies, urban planning
best practices, public-private partnerships, and policy change - to
make a difference. They always put people first.
In the approach to 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. The focus is on sustainable and
inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas,
create a replicable model which will act like a lighthouse to other
aspiring cities. The Smart Cities Mission is meant to set examples
that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City,
catalysing the creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions
and parts of the country.
SMART CITIES STRATEGY MISSIONS

● Pan-city initiative in which at least one Smart Solution is applied city-wide


● Develop areas step-by-step – three models of area-based developments
● Retrofitting,
● Redevelopment,
● Greenfield

SMART CITIES STRATEGY MISSIONS

● Adequate water supply,


● 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.
The Mission will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY 2015-16 to FY 2019-20). The
Mission may be continued thereafter in the light of an evaluation to be done by the Ministry of Urban
Development (MoUD) and incorporating the learnings into the Mission.

The Smart City Mission will be operated as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) and the Central
Government proposes to give financial support to the Mission to the extent of Rs. 48,000 crores over five
years i.e. on an average Rs. 100 crore per city per year. An equal amount, on a matching basis, will have to
be contributed by the State/ULB; therefore, nearly Rupees one lakh crore of Government/ULB funds will be
available for Smart Cities development.

INDIA SMART CITY CHALLENGE


The India Smart Cities Challenge is a competition designed to inspire and support municipal officials as they
develop smart proposals to improve residents' lives. 100 cities will compete in the first round - with the best
proposals receiving funding from the Ministry of Urban Development.
CASE STUDY

MADURAI
Madurai City is gearing up for Round 2 of Smart City Challenge. In Round 1 of this challenge, Madurai was ranked 28 out of 100. Madurai
narrowly missed the opportunity to make it to the first list and this time the Madurai Municipal Corporation (MMC) is leaving no stone
unturned to see Madurai in the next round of Smart cities.
Madurai Corporation is currently working with all the stakeholders to revise and strengthen its Smart City proposal. The most crucial
inputs for revising and strengthening the current proposal will have to come from the citizens of Madurai. Citizens engagement and
feedback will help us in identifying priority areas and also pinpoint the drawbacks in the current proposal.
The current proposal has two Components-Area based Development and Pan city proposal

Area Based Development


Madurai Corporation has selected 3100 Acres around the Meenakshi Temple precinct for Retrofitting.

Some of the key components are:

● Heritage preservation and Enhancement


● Visitors Amenities and Tourism infrastructure
● IT integration for aiding Tourists and Citizens
● Improving Urban infrastructure
Pan City Proposal
This proposal includes pan city smart solutions for the benefit of the entire city by using ICT and thereby improving governance and
delivery of public services. This envisages developing an integrated City Management and Control Centre (ICMCC) with the following
components

● Smart Water and Sewerage Management System


● Intelligent Public Transport, Parking and Traffic Control Systems
● Street Light Monitoring and Management system
● Emergency Response and Surveillance system
● Waste Collection and Transportation Monitoring system
● Integrated platform for E-governance
MMC is requesting all the stakeholders to offer their valuable suggestions and comments to improve the current proposal.
