3. WHAT IS 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.
• The objective of the Smart Cities Mission 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
light house to other aspiring cities.
• The Smart Cities Mission is meant to set examples that can be replicated
both within and outside the Smart City.
• Major Characteristics are used
to determine a city's smartness.
ü A technology-based infrastructure;
ü Environmental initiatives;
ü A high functioning public transportation system;
ü A confident sense of urban planning and
ü Humans to live and work within the city and utilize its resources
4. History of smart city
The concept of the smart city can be traced back to the 1960s
and 1970s, when the Community Analysis Bureau started using
computer databases, cluster analysis and infrared aerial
photography to collect data, issue reports and direct resources to
the areas that need them most for fighting off potential
devastations and reducing poverty. Since then, three different
generations of smart cities have emerged.
Smart City 1.0 was led by technology providers.
This generation focused on implementing technology in cities
despite the municipality's inability to fully understand the
possible implications of the technology or the effects it may have
on daily life.
In contrast, Smart City 2.0 was led by the cities.
In this second generation, forward-thinking leaders within the
municipality helped determine the future of the city and how
smart technologies and other innovations could be deployed to
create this future.
In the third generation, Smart City 3.0,
Neither the technology providers nor the city leaders take
control; instead, a citizen co-creation model is being embraced.
This is inspired by issues of equity and a desire to create a smart
community with social inclusion.
5. ELEMENTS OF A SMART CITY
• 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.
6. ü New areas (greenfield) will be developed around cities in order to accommodate the expanding population in urban areas.
ü Application of Smart Solutions will enable cities to use technology, information and data to improve infrastructure and services.
ü Comprehensive development in this way will improve quality of life, create employment and enhance incomes for all, especially the
poor and the disadvantaged, leading to inclusive Cities.
• The purpose of the Smart Cities
Mission is to drive economic
growth and improve the
quality of life of people by
enabling local area
development and harnessing
technology, especially
technology that leads to Smart
outcomes.
• Area-based development will
transform existing areas (retrofit
and redevelop), including slums,
into better planned ones, thereby
improving liveability of the
whole City.
7. SMART CITY FEATURES
• Promoting mixed land use in area-based developments — planning for ‘unplanned areas’ containing a range of compatible activities
and land uses close to one another in order to make land use more efficient. The States will enable some flexibility in land use and building
bye-laws to adapt to change;
• 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. The road network is created or refurbished not only for vehicles and public transport, but also for pedestrians and cyclists,
and necessary administrative services are offered within walking or cycling distance;
• Preserving and developing open spaces— parks, playgrounds, and recreational spaces in order to enhance the quality of life of citizens,
reduce the urban heat effects in Areas and generally promote eco-balance;
• Promoting a variety of transport options— Transit Oriented Development (TOD), public transport and last mile para-transport
connectivity;
• 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; form 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.

9. HOW SMART CITIES WORKS
Smart cities utilize their web is connected with internet of things (IoT) devices and
other technologies to achieve their goals of improving the quality of life and achieving
economic growth. Successful smart cities follow four steps:
• COLLECTION - Smart sensors throughout the city gather data in real time.
• ANALYSIS - Data collected by the smart sensors is assessed in order to draw
meaningful insights.
• COMMUNICATION - The insights that have been found in the analysis phase are
communicated with decision makers through strong communication networks.
• ACTION - Cities use the insights pulled from the data to create solutions, optimize
operations and asset management and improve the quality of life for residents.
10. COVERAGE AND DURATION OF SMART CITY
The Mission will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY2015-16 to
FY201920). 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.
11. SMART CITY MISSION STRATEGIES
• Retrofitting- It will introduce planning in an existing built-
up area to achieve smart city objectives, along with other
objectives, to make the existing area more efficient and
liveable. 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.
• Redevelopment- It will effect 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 50
acres identified by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in
consultation with citizens.
• Greenfield Developments are required around cities in
order to address the needs of the expanding population.
Greenfield development will introduce most of the Smart
Solutions 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 poors.
Greenfield developments could be located either within the
limits of the ULB or within the limits of the local Urban
Development Authority (UDA).
• Develop areas step-by-step – three models of area-based developments.
• Pan-City initiative in which at least one Smart Solution is applied city-wide. It is an additional feature to be provided. Since smart city is taking a compact area
approach, it is necessary that all the city residents feel there is something in it for them also. Therefore, the additional requirement of some (at least one) city-wide
smart solution has been put in the scheme to make it inclusive.
13. SMART CITY IN EACH STATE/UT
• The total number of 100 Smart Cities have been distributed among the States and UTs on the basis of an equitable criteria.
The formula gives equal weightage (50:50) to urban population of the State/UT and the number of statutory towns in the
State/UT. Based on this formula, each State/UT will, therefore, have a certain number of potential Smart Cities, with each
State/UT having at least one. The number of potential Smart Cities from each State/UT will be capped at the indicated
number. This distribution formula has also been used for allocation of funds under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and
Urban Transformation - AMRUT.
• The distribution of Smart Cities will be reviewed after two years of the implementation of the Mission. Based on an
assessment of the performance of States/ULBs in the Challenge, some re-allocation of the remaining potential Smart
Cities among States may be required to be done by the Ministry of Urban Development
14.
15. FINANCING OF SMART CITY
• 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.

16. CHALLENGES
• The 'Challenge' is to select cities for funding and using a strategy of area-based
development. This will captures the spirit of 'competitive and cooperative federalism'.
• States and ULBs will play a key supportive role in the development of Smart Cities.
Smart leadership and vision at this level and ability to act decisively will be important
factors determining the success of the Mission.
• Understanding the concepts of retrofitting, redevelopment and greenfield development by
the policy makers, implementers and other stakeholders at different levels will require
capacity assistance. Major investments in time and resources will have to be made during
the planning phase. This is different from the conventional DPR-driven approach.
• The Smart Cities Mission requires smart people who actively participate in governance
and reforms. Citizen involvement is much more than a ceremonial participation in
governance. The participation of smart people will be enabled by the Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV) through increasing use of ICT, especially mobile-based tools.
