The Background Context -Before we begin There is no true definition of a Smart City. It varies from country to country, city to city. It ultimately depends on the level of development, willingness to change, reform, resources and the aspirations of the city residents.
The Background Context However, smart cities are primarily designed with the purpose to improve living quality and raising our current standards of development with a more habitable and structured built environment
Innovative means and solutions, most notably with the use of technology.source : http://www.eco-business.com/news/singapore-wins-smart-city-grant-for-jurong-lake-district/ http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/smart-cities-nda-narendra-modi-ministry-of-urban-development/1/379915.html

Smart cities have an integrated transit system where BRT corridors, such as the one in Delhi (below), as well as suburban train networks are linked with pedestrian and cycle lanes for easier travelSmart cities have been defined as those that have adequate water and electricity supplies, good sanitation, efficient public transport, Internet connectivity and affordable housing, and are safe for women and children to live in.The Context of India

Purpose: To spur economic growth and job opportunities through FDIs in urban infrastructure
Reason: Massive challenge as urban infrastructure in its cities are unable to cope with an ever-increasing population and its issues that arises.

i) Modi lays out bold plan to create Smart cities: A SummaryCurrent Problems:
Poor planning (or the lack of it)Electricity and water in short supplyPoor sanitationExponentially increasing population and its challenges
i) Modi lays out bold plan to create Smart cities: A SummaryPoor planning - Private developers Haphazard development by private property developers
Inexperienced in developing cities - lack holistic development Decisions largely based on economic value
Lacks coordination on development with the government- lacks responsibility
"Private property developers should not decide how a city should grow. It should be decided by residents and city leaders," said Modi at the launch of the Smart Cities Mission yesterday
Mumbai (India): http://www.livablecities.org/blog/are-mumbais-planning-problems-so-very-different-oursi) Modi lays out bold plan to create Smart cities: A SummaryPoor planning: The government
Wide jurisdiction-inefficient governance and lack of response in city-planningLess interested in the environmental sustainability and social responsibility to be undertaken due economic prioritiesUnplanned growth of industrialisation, overlooked rural and urban migration patterns- urban population from 31% to 40% by 2030 In overall, lack of foresight and inaction of both parties leads to haphazard development of cities ----->widespread observation of urban jungles
i) Modi lays out bold plan to create Smart cities: A Summary2. Shortage of water and electricityUnderdeveloped water and energy supply systemsMajority remains denied from access of water and electricity Human rights issueFailure to resolve may lead to country to shut herself from the economic opportunities 3. Poor sanitation Availability of Safe Water is disproportionatePoor management leads to water-borne diseasesWaste management crisis

India wishes to collaborate with other successful nations on the project, which 7-18 have shared their interest. eg. Singapore is already helping to shape the master plan for Amaravati, Andhra Pradeshs new capital city

(Total 100 out of 4000 cities)Indian government has promised 480 billion rupees (US$15Billion) over 5 years ~ 1 billion rupees per city per yeari) Modi lays out bold plan to create Smart cities: A Summary2 stage competition, "The competition is to reinforce the fact that this is not a public subsidy programme. So the competitive mode of tapping into funds is more aligned with the way a free market economy functions,"

aii) 'Smart cities' a smart idea, but: A summaryWhat are the things required:
1) Private investment from overseas to upgrade infrastructure---> Seeking Public-Private Partnership models
2) Identifying and nurture capable city-state leaders.
3) Getting citizens participation
Creating visions for their cities that is uniquely to India.
Not just copying from the West or East.aii) 'Smart cities' a smart idea, but: A summaryChallenges:
Power plants struggle to provide electricity and water even for a few hours.----> overcoming challenges of underdeveloped basic services
Many cities are struggling to meet basic needs (Sanitation, food, shelter).
Insufficient funding from government reserves to rebuild cities.(KPMG estimates costs to be at least US$1Trillion)
Realism of projects---> Plans deviate with reality.
What: Indias PM launched a scheme (Smart Cities Mission)
Where: 100 out of 4000 cities all across India via 2-stage selection process
When: Selection from FY2015-2016 to FY 2019-2020 20 in 2015, 40 in 2016, 40 in 2017
Why: Massive challenge as urban infrastructure in its cities are unable to cope with an ever-increasing population and its issues that arises.
How: 1) Collaboration2) Selection by nationwide competition 3) Partnerships, City-state level funding
Who: Collaborating countries, Private developers, City-level leaders and central government.
Challenges: 1) Insufficient funding from Federal Gov 2) Provision of resources 3)Sustainability of development projects

Recap and overview of the article: 5W1Hb)What are the challenges in creating/setting up cities that are both smart and sustainable? What defines a smart and sustainable city?A Smart Sustainable City is a city that:
Meets the needs and demands of its present generation of residents Not compromising the ability for other people and communities or future generations to meet their needs. Does not exceed local or environmental limits.
Operations in the city are supported and enhanced by incorporation of information and communication technology.

Social Challengesb. Feasibility IssuesSmart cities are built based on the aspirations of the people and the leaders.However, achieving sustainability and convenience may entail compromises which both parties might not reconcilePolitically correct but not politically popularNeeds awareness of constraints and feasibility issues as it offers smart solutions

Less restricted in land space and use (454 km sq/ 385 200 km sq)
More willing to use public transport Oslo downtown (Norway)Singapore Sizable proportion still relies on private transport
Extremely small land space and constrained land use
Geared towards Smart Mobility, which still remains a challenge
Facilitating a paradigm shift of human patterns
Takeaway: Reasonable and balanced smart solution arerequired to achieve longevity and maximum benefit Social ChallengesC. Security and privacy issues Generation of Big-Data, which serves as a double-edged swordConcerns of technology can be exploited Reliability of using technology for long-term remains questionableMeasures must be taken to protect the critical data of the individuals and communities to ensure longevity of SMART solutions.Harnessing convenience and efficiency without compromising basic needs of security and privacy

Economic Challengesb. Fundings Available
Public fund is not enough to upgrade the city in the long term.
Too large scale.
From the article 1, the Indian government is looking at spending 480 billion rupees which has overly underestimated the projection cost of 1 trillion.
Public Private Partnership (PPP) - involve the private sector for fundings.
Cost of production EoSMaterialsTalents/design - sourcing and upgrading
Economic Challengesc. Competency Level of Technologies
Information and Communication Technologies, Green Technologies
At the current level it is not enough, more could be done (why not enough? research)
involve the private sector, promote innovations through competition
Economic Challengesd. Capacity of Companies
Larger firms (Foreign/ Local) have the economic capacity.
To develop and build projects for the city.
BUT it may monopolise city development.
Risk of corruption within companies.
Potentially put off Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs).Economic Challengesd. Capacity of Companies
Smaller companies have limited developing capabilities.
Though there may be greater potential for ideas with more people involved.
BUT small companies could only provide fragmented small-scale solutions.
Not enough to make a big change for a large city scale.
Too inefficient.
