#IndoreSmartCity - The Concept

#IndoreSmartCity is no longer an alien word in the city of Indore. In layman’s language every person understands it as an initiative from the central government to develop and refurbish cities in terms of development and progress. But that’s the peripheral definition, it has more aspects to it and one needs to get a proper understanding of it. The pillars of a smart city are Institutional, Physical and Social. Moreover, in a country like India the process of making a city smart should be people centric. The idea should be to make city’s work for the people.

Institutional Pillar - The implementation of the e-governance and complete transparency in the working system. Citizen would be the eye and ear of the city and priority is to be given to the citizen engagement.

Physical Pillar - This is mainly related to city framework and urban mobility. This would include area-based development and will transform existing areas (retrofit and redevelop), including slums, into better planned ones, thereby improving liveability of the whole city. And, later this will include structuring of smart parking, intelligent traffic management and integrated multi modal transport system.

Social Pillar - This is related to management i.e. management of waste, energy and water. Adopt renewable and efficient means for usage of above resources. Moreover, socio-economic status should also completely eradicate with no disparity between any strata.

Others - Technology is the very crux of the entire mission, its development and progress is the corner stone of the project #SmartCity.
Above is the simple retrospection of what #SmartCity consists of. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome and valued, so if you want to share your opinion then come forward and make it heard. This is a dream and support from quarters can help Indore to achieve it. So give views, reviews and contribute in the making of #IndoreSmartcity.
