Climate Resilient Smart Cities:
India
Smart Cities : India
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
appli atio of S art Solutio s. The fo us is o
sustainable and inclusive development which will act like a light house
to other aspiring cities.
It involves three types of interventions:
•
City improvement (Retrofitting of more than 500 acres)
•
City renewal (Redevelopment of more than 50 acres)
Proposed Cost of Projects under Smart Cities
Water Supply
80% Retrofitting of water supply network for adequate supply, including dual piping system
80% Provision of water 24 x 7 with smart meters and e-billing by Municipal Corporations to
reduce non-revenue water at community or household level
70% Integrated water management through rainwater harvesting, productive landscaping
and green infrastructure - Development of proper drain channels to help collect and store rainwater to be reused for landscaping irrigation and other purposes
40% Lake rejuvenation/neutralization along with primary and secondary drain layout in
surrounding areas, for water cycle restoration to ensure groundwater recharge
35% Smart water solutions including governance and service provision on demand along with
better access through common service delivery outlets to ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability at affordable costs
30% Inclusion of pressure and flow monitoring system along with special emphasis on
Storm Water Management
95% Increased storm water network
25% Integrated storm water management - Sensor based flow measurements helping in
identification of flood prone areas, surveillance and alert system to monitor the water level in reservoirs for citizens, in case of rise in water level above permissible limit
90% Construction of sewerage treatment plant and rehabilitation of old sewer lines /
construction of new ones under Comprehensive Sewerage Scheme wherever available
50% Waste water treatment at modern plants and their reutilization by industries
Waste Management
50% Undertaking IEC campaigns to create public awareness regarding solid waste disposal
45% Providing infrastructure for 100% door to door collection
40% Integrate public conveniences like toilets with retail facilities and public spaces to ensure
public areas are free of open defecation/ urination. This maintenance is to be entrusted with private retailers. The Central Control Room would release Collection Vans at optimal intervals accordingly
35% Waste segregation at source, use of weight sensors and innovative waste processing
techniques
20% Geographical Positioning System (GPS) installation in vehicles to monitor collection
20% Following the 4R (reduce, reuse, recycle, respond/refuse) principle at building level
5% A pneumatic waste collection system (including sensor based waste bins) which would
negate the need for door to door collection
Energy
100% Assured electric supply with a sizeable portion generated by renewable sources
85% Installation of solar panels on all Government and public buildings
70% SCADA for maintenance and management activities
60% Rehabilitation and strengthening of transmission and distribution network in urban areas
through underground cabling, elimination of overhead network and use of smart meters and sensors. This will also help reduce losses considerably
50% 100% energy efficiency using green building concept and through implementation of Net
Metering Policy
30% Retrofitting and redevelopment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas
Mobility
75% Integrated road network re-design for seamless mobility - Improved walkability and
mobility of the area through pedestrian walkways, cycle tracks, central and city bus terminals, flyovers, underpass and improved road junctions, enhanced bus connectivity and efficiency through provision of new bus routes and additional bus stops/ shelters and re-development of existing old bus terminal into a state-of-art central transit hub
75% Decongestion of roads in planned manner and ensuring compliance - Integrated City
Operations and Management Centre for area based traffic control, traffic flow monitoring, video surveillance, incident management, video analytics supported traffic violation detection and e-challan
65% Smart parking, non-vehicle streets and zones
45% Increased use of public transport through provision of crucial last mile connectivity,
Land use and Land cover
50% Affordable housing
50% Mixed use and compactness of land-Plan encourages a robust and effective utilization of
available land for environmental regeneration, development of intermodal hub, improved connectivity and residential development to attract new residents
30% Re-vitalizing economic precincts in respective cities, transforming the area into a vibrant
economic hub
30% Institutional core promoting commerce, business and education
15% Delineate priority shop-line streets in Local Development Plan
5% Redevelopment of public land to create shared public open spaces (both neighborhood
