5. Context
• As the global population continues to grow, the migration of people from rural to urban areas
has been on the rise.
• Estimated that urban population shall double by 2050 with urban residents in India alone
numbering 843 million.
• Cities thus act as ‘engines to economic growth’
• To accommodate the massive urbanization cities need to find ways to increase efficiency,
manage complexity and improve quality of life- Develop into Smart Cities.

9. Smart City..
• Smartness in a city means different thing to different people – smart
design, smart utilities, smart transport etc.
• The basic definition of a smart city is a city with smart physical, social,
institutional and economic infrastructure which ensures centrality of
citizens in a sustainable environment.

10. Parameters of Smart Cities
• Competitiveness refers to a ity’s a ility to reate e ploy e t
opportunities, attract investments, experts, professionals and people. The
ease of being able to do business and the quality of life it offers determines
its competitiveness. (Planners view, Business View, IT View)
• Sustainability includes social sustainability, environmental sustainability
and financial sustainability (Architects view, Sustainability view)
• Quality of Life includes safety and security, inclusiveness, entertainment,
ease of seeking and obtaining public services, cost efficient healthcare,
quality education, transparency, accountability and opportunities for
participation in governance Citize ’s ie

11. Planners view:
Pillars of a Smart City
• Institutional Infrastructure, Social Infrastructure, Economic Infrastructure and Physical
Infrastructure form the four pillars on which a smart city rests.
• It aims to integrate the use of technology into these components and improve their
efficiency.

12. Pillars of a Smart City
• Institutional Infrastructure refers to the activities that relate to governance, planning and
management of a city and includes the participatory systems of governance, e-governance,
inclusive governance, the sense of safety and security and the opportunities for creativity.
• Social Infrastructure relate to those components that work towards developing the human and
social capital, such as the education, healthcare, entertainment etc.
• Physical Infrastructure refers to the services such as housing, urban mobility system, sewage
system etc. all integrated with the use of technology.
• Economic Infrastructure relates to the potential of the city to attract investments and
economic centers such as IT Parks, Skill development centers etc.

13. Smart Cities – Indian initiative
• The concept of smart cities has been fairly a new one in India.
• The Go er e t’s a ou e e t to uild s art ities – New
impetus to the concept with the idea being discussed in the public
sphere.
• Gwalior is one of them !
• The Ministry of Urban Development is anchoring this initiative
• An agreement has been reached with the USA, Germany Japan and
UK to collaborate on the project.

14. Architect’s view
• Compact city
• Appropriate strategy for zoning
• Energy efficient /green buildings
• Commercial and residential clusters
• Minimum distance to commute
• Use of local material
• Appealing aesthetics keeping heritage (like for Gwalior !)in mind
• Transportation network in line with the local needs (Bada , Hazira!)

15. Observations..
• Today's world : Hyper-connected
• Today’s citizen: Highly demanding, conscious of rights/duties,
environmentally sensitive,
part of democratic set up
• Today’s city- Congested, huge demand on resources, fragmented
• Tomorrow’s city – Mobile, Hyper- Smart and Sustainable
• Internet of Things (IoT) : Network of physical objects—devices,
vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, and network connectivity—that enables these
objects to collect and exchange data.

16. Business view
• Smart city as a competitive business unit
• Hub of commercial activities
• Able to attract investors due to tremendous
opportunities & quality infrastructure
• Entrepreneurial spirit
• Employment generation possibilities
• Connectivity with others

17. Insights ..1..
•City – a microcosm of world, community living, hub of
commercial activity, wealth generator
•Across the globe, governments, industrial federations,
and corporations have recognized the significance of
creating their own added value through production. For
this urbanization and migration to city is inevitable !

• Digitalisation
• Personalization
• Localization
• Democratization

21. Four big forces..
• Digitalisation of la d re ords, itize ’s i for atio , atural resour es health
records, crime record etc. effective
quality control at multiple and remote locations
• Personalisation of services tailored for individual users and
user‐frie dly enhanced services
• Localisation
of services, point of contact, and material use for quick response, and environm
ental sustainability
• Democratisation
of civic service chain through enhanced participation from administration,
citizens , service providers and industry partners

23. Insights ..2..
• New organization of value chains based on networks of
stakeholders .
• On the one hand through vertical network distribution, of
infrastructure and services (smart utilities, health, building etc.)
• On the other hand through horizontal network distribution
between Government, citizens and service providers
• Value chains generate hybrid entities (Part material/ part service
part knowledge)
• City administration : Service orientation ?
23

24. Citizen’s view
• Preservation of culture & values ! (relevant to Gwalior !)
• Context and culture specific – IT helps in this !!
• Accessibility & reach
• Mobility
• Quality infrastructure
• Citize ’s parti ipatio i de isio aki g - Crowdsourcing
• Quality of service –healthcare/education/utilities etc.
• Responsive civic administration

25. Expectations of citizen.
• adequate water supply,
• assured electricity supply,
• sanitation, including solid waste management, iv. efficient urban
mobility and public transport,
• affordable housing, especially for the poor, vi. robust IT connectivity
and digitalization,
• good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation,,
• safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the
elderly, and
• health and education.

26. Sustainability view
• Economic, Environmental & Social sustainability
• Attractive business opportunities which are sustainable
• Carbon footprint
• A Low Carbon City ensures high living standards while increasing the (carbon) efficiency with which goods and
servi es are produ ed a d used. This i plies the redu tio of dire t a d i dire t ity’s ar o e issio s
• Green and energy efficient technologies
• Minimum damage to mother earth
• Social infrastructure
• Care for elderly
• Care for physically challenged
• Synergistic co-existence / communities of practice

27. Implications ..1..
Change in orientation
• From compartmentalized to interdisciplinary
• From pure administrative to service
• From control & command to empower & enable
• From push to pull
• From Reactive to Responsive

28. Implications ..2..
Networking
• Smart city presents a big opportunity to have an enterprise view of city
where there will be a strong degree of coupling between Cyber and
Physical world!.
• Integration of IT and Non-IT view
• The entire city can be visualized and controlled through apps available
on smart devices - remotely controlled yet at the ground level .
• Networking of institutions, stakeholders and partners !
• The city will be smart, social and sustainable !

29. Implications ..3..
Quality of workforce
• Habitat for both-production as well as service opportunties
• Rapid change of necessary skills/capabilties
• Creation of new jobs for high skilled workers in the areas of design,
planning, configuration and maintenance of the new technologies
• Innovative ways of control and monitoring of behavior and
performance
• Increased expections regarding quality of life
29

30. Implications ..4..
For educational institutes
• Institutes must develop strong linkages with industry to understand and
appreciate and gear themselves for meaningful R&D in collaboration with
industry
• The discipline boundaries such as civil, electrical, mechanical etc must vanish so
as to appreciate and understand integrated solutions as desired by the society
• Digital disruptions are going to revolutionize our view of city and consequent
need to develop trained manpower for the same.
• This calls for strong curriculum review.
• Mechanisms to upgrade skills need to be established in conjunction with industry
& business
• Smart city provides a canvas for collapsing discipline boundaries

31. SMART..
• Sustainable
• Meaningful
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Tractable
• “ art ’ - Investments in human and social capital and traditional Physical and
modern IT infrastructure is done with a wise management of natural resources
to add value for better quality of life

32. Observations..
• Smart cities must incorporate people-centric approach
What akes a ity "s art" is ’t just the IT , ut the s art use of IT to sol e a
city's most pressing issues. We must identify the right pain points and
leverages the gain points (such as tourist potential in Gwalior !)
• Smart cities must start with the needs /aspirations and expectations of
citizens,; they should build new services through citizen-centered design,
putting citizen first.
• Cities need to learn from and work with each other and.
• IT industry to lead the next generation of initiatives that will drive the greatest
benefits for all.

33. Concluding observations..
 Smart city allows integration of various views.
 Opportunity to work seamlessly
 Opportunity to look from a systems perspective
A city becomes smart when the human and social capital investments, the
traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) infrastructures, foster sustainable
economic growth and an high quality of life, through an efficient
management of natural resources and a participatory governance.
