Leading trends and overall judgement of the conference

Importance of the conference

The cities of India badly lack in modern living facilities. As India is aspiring to be an economic power in the South Asian Region and also rival the developed economies, it wants to develop 100 cities into “Smart Cities” in the first phase as “model and start-of-the-art cities”.

Conference trends

Keenness exhibited by the participants indicated that they wanted to share and pass on the expertise and knowledge in the matter of creation of smart cities in India. This in turn can bring the Indian cities at par with the cities of the developed world.

Participation by fit

Visit to the Conference for collecting information and for networking.

Recommendation

100 cities have been selected from all over India to create modern amenities and facilities. This will not only provide better life style and living facilities but also create avenues for industrial and economic development. It offers huge potential for companies interested in executing the projects related to the creation of Smart Cities in India.

Write-up “Smart City Landscape 2015”, New Delhi (10-11 Sept. 2015)

Sustainability – ecology – economy and equity for creating Smart Cities: Planet Earth is inhabited by over 7 billion people. It is now in the midst of a massive transition in terms of eco-system, climate change, tectonic plate movements and biological evolution. Climate change is largely attributable to human activities and it is hugely impacting the Earth. Climate change brings with it adverse consequences such as threats to biodiversity and eco-systems, risks to human health, rising sea levels due to accelerated melting of glaciers and ice caps, increasing water stress as well as a decline in agricultural productivity. These issues are driving many world-wide economies and cities to focus on mitigating green-house gas emissions in order to combat the impact of climate change. Cities account for the majority of green-house gas emissions and energy consumption across the globe. As “cities” are economic growth drivers in most of the nations, urbanization is projected to increase further in the near future. This, in turn will drive the depletion of non-renewable resources as well as add to the extent of carbon di-oxide emissions. To cope with rising urbanization and climate change issues, “innovation and digital technology” must be leveraged to minimize energy consumption and improve quality of life. “Innovation” must be combined with “energy”, “digital technology” and “information and communications technology (ICT)” to address urbanization challenges and ensure sustainability. “Sustainability” covers not just the environmental aspect but also social equity and the economy. The globe is witnessing a shift in economic corridors of power – as China and India are seen as the most powerful economies to watch out for. These emerging economies too need to take pre-emptive steps so as to avoid the devastating consequences of climate change. The Indian government has undertaken concrete steps for making smart cities a reality with the recent announcement of 98 aspirants – though 100 cities are planned to be converted into “smart cities”. The names of two other cities will be announced later. This list 98 aspirants is provided in a separate enclosure. These smart cities will compete with each other to come up with holistic plans for becoming model cities. The Indian government has incorporated sustainability as one of the key components of smart cities. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, abnormal weather patterns and the looming threat of global warming, the concept of smart city must be merged with sustainability for the welfare of people and plant Earth as a whole. The marriage of innovation with technology will go a long way in optimizing the management of infrastructure and resources and, at the same time, focusing on inclusiveness and a greener environment. Smart sustainable cities will lay the foundations for a better future – a future where cities care for people, the Earth, air, water and the environment.

Efforts for creating smart and sustainable Cities: Cities are indispensable to nations. They are hubs of economic growth and innovation and are cultural melting pots. They usually have unique characteristics and a cultural identity as well as present a multitude of options for business, employment, leisure, entertainment, healthcare and education. Given these attributes, cities attract people from rural regions seeking opportunities for employment, education and a better lifestyle. Hence, cities have been witnessing megatrends of population explosion, a growing middle-class population and urbanization. By the year 2050, approximately 70% of the global population is projected to live in cities. Moreover, Asia, Africa and other emerging economies will be home to nearly 80% of the global urban population owing to the promise of more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities and good quality of life. As per the data from the Indian Census 2011, the population living in urban regions contributes 63% of India’s GDP. This share is only expected to increase further as more and more people migrate to urban areas. By the year 2030, cities are forecast to have 40% of India’s population and account for 75% of India’s GDP. Thus, cities are likely to continue being the powerhouses and talent warehouses of India. Apart from advantages, urbanization also brings with it certain challenges. Many Indian cities are plagued with various environmental, social and economic issues such as resource scarcity, congestion, pollution, poverty, lack of affordable housing, proliferation of informal dwelling, as well as sewerage and sanitation problems. In

4

fact, urbanization is placing an environmental load on natural resources as cities account for 60 to 80% of energy consumption across the globe and for more than 70% of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions. In order to provide better living conditions for existing and future generations, cities need to be improved by adopting the smart route and at the same time focusing on the sustainability aspect. Currently, urban infrastructure is mostly developed without giving much consideration to sustainability. Cities have considerable potential to emerge as hubs that improve quality of life and minimize carbon footprints. Information and communications technologies (ICTs) also have an important role to play in the aggregation of data for a better understanding of city functioning in terms of services, lifestyles and resource consumption. Sustainability and urbanization pose big challenges to city commissioners and urban planners. Cities have to be the engines of economic growth that provide equal opportunities for prosperity. They also have to be livable, connected, efficient, healthy, safe, inclusive, affordable and climate resilient. Ever since the advent of the notion of sustainable development, the idea of pursuing a sustainable urban development model for cities has been gaining increasing importance. Looking at urban development through the sustainability lens gave way to the concept of sustainable cities. According to the World Bank’s Sustainable Cities Framework – Sustainable Cities can be understood as resilient cities that can more readily adapt to, mitigate, and promote economic, social and environmental change. Sustainable development encompasses all aspects of a city’s healthy development and should be done with a triple bottom-line in mind – addressing economic / financial, social and environmental issues. At the same time, ICT and its applications have played a transformational role in solving complex problems around the world. The potential to use ICT-enabled solutions for helping cities deliver innovative and improved services to citizens led to the concept of smart cities. Over the years, there have been many definitions of a smart city and each of these has had varied linkages with sustainability. But the recent conceptualizations of a smart city, including the Indian government’s smart city guidelines, do accord due importance to sustainability principles. Smart Sustainable City is stated to be composed of the following components:

(a) Smart City Components (b) Sustainable City Components

(a) “Smart City Components” consist of the following elements: Institutional Infrastructure: * E-governance and citizen services Physical Infrastructure: * Smart energy management * Smart water management * Smart waste management * Urban mobility * Smart roads with smart signaling systems * Smart communications * Smart environment * Smart spaces * Smart surveillance Social Infrastructure: * Smart healthcare * Smart education * Recreation: arts, sports, entertainment Economic Infrastructure: Incubators, skill development centers, specialized business parks, hubs, etc.

(b) “Sustainable City Components” consist of the following elements: Economic progress: * Competitive economy * Employment growth and opportunity * Affordable housing * Governance Environmental stewardship: * Climate change mitigation and adaptation * Water, waste and energy management * Green buildings * Sustainable transport * Water quality and air quality * Natural resource management, including biodiversity and green cover Social development: * Social inclusion, stakeholder engagement and participation * Human rights * Sanitation, public health and safety

Points raised for consideration – to create Smart Cities: Some of the points highlighted by the delegates during the presentation of the papers in the conference are given below: The delegate from PWC (PriceWaterhouseCooper) indicated that for a “smart and sustainable city” optimal use of waste management, water, energy, ICT and resilient systems for consumption and production are essential. The delegate of US Green Building Council pointed out that for sustainable development, creation of a benchmark through planning, comparison, management and merger will be needed to make the system effective. The delegate of “DFID – Department for International Development, UK” noted that the “PPP model” (Note:- PPP = Private-Public-Partnership) adopted in India have not been successful in the fields of health and solid waste management in particular due to lack of financial resources. He pointed out that raising of resources can be effectively made through major events such as the “Commonwealth Games (CWG)”, the “Asian Games”, “Olympics”, “World Cup Game events”, etc. In a large country like India, it is not physically possible to manage everything by one organization or by one system of management. Outsourcing and enforcement are essential to achieve success in the execution of such projects. For “waste management”, the Indian system is not sustainable. India will have to adopt a modern foreign model for waste management – though it could be expensive – but it will be effective and successful in the long run. The delegate of “Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) – India” highlighted that it is imperative to create “smart transport and roadways network and traffic management” in India. For example, Delhi with a total surface area of 1483 sq.km. has a total population of around 18 million and a vehicle population of 1.90 million. To manage this, Delhi has installed a meagre 890 automatic traffic signals. In comparison, Tokyo has around 18000 automatic traffic signals. This reflects poorly on Delhi – as there have been fatal accidents to the tune of 1671 deaths in the year 2014 and in the year 2015, by the end of August 2015, 1383 deaths have already taken place through fatal accidents. Strict enforcement of penalizing errant driving is also not being effected to create a fear of law. This is also contributing to the increasing deaths through fatal accidents. The delegate also laid emphasis on proper designing of road network for avoiding fatal accidents. The delegate of “PTV Group – Germany” pointed out that for “smart traffic system”, “mobile applications” can help in not only avoiding fatal accidents but also help in saving time during commutation. This in turn will help

6

in saving lives. His company has developed an effective software tool that can alert drivers on traffic congestions, warn of possible accidents in advance and how to avoid such situations. The delegate of “Envac – Sweden” indicated that for “smart waste management” it is essential to handle and treat the waste in closed atmosphere so that toxic fumes do not pollute the environment. “Envac” has developed and executed a system by which the domestic wastes are transported by tubes from apartment complexes to the “community treatment centre” and is treated appropriately. All these activities take place underground. However, the inhabitants of the apartment complexes will have to carry out the segregation of the wastes according to category. The system has a sensor that will identify the wrong contents in the wrong bag and will also indicate the resident that has made the mistake. The system has a filtration mechanism that absorbs all the toxic fumes that emanate while treating the waste into energy or a new bye-product. Thus there is no environmental pollution. “Envac” has installed this system in Bangalore and Pune in India. The method for handling of waste is on the basis of “pay as you throw garbage”. The quantum of payment to the Municipality by the resident will increase on the basis of the quantity of waste generated by the concerned resident. The wastes are classified into 3 categories, viz. – biodegradable, recyclable and hazardous. Delhi has the worst system of waste disposal. Though it generates 86,000 tons of waste per day, it is still using “land-fill” for disposal. This pollutes the soil and the underground water resource. The delegate from “Centre for Policy Research – India” was critical of “LEED Building systems” (Note:- LEED = Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) as it results in use of greater amount of energy through the use of “incandescent bulbs”. LEED buildings do not support LED or CFL lights. He also indicated that for “smart buildings in Delhi”, proper fortification of the structures and efficient disaster management mechanism have to be put in place as Delhi falls in “seismic zone – 4” (high risk zone). He also put in emphasis on effective “fire-fighting systems” for high rise buildings so that loss of lives do not take place.

Know all 98 Smart Cities approved by Modi government New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government has unveiled a list of 98 cities, including 24 state capitals for its ambitious Smart Cities project. Two other cities will be announced later. Maximum number of to-be-developed smart cities is in UP, followed by Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The list includes 13 cities from UP, 12 from Tamil Nadu, 10 from Maharashtra, 7 from MP, and 3 each from Bihar and Andhra Pradesh are included in smart cities list. Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday urged local and international investors to put their money on the Smart City Mission, assuring them that it was a safe bet. Mr. Naidu unveiled a list of 98 cities with Uttar Pradesh taking the largest share of developing 13 smart cities followed by Tamil Nadu, which qualified to develop 12. “Both national and international investors are looking for opportunities in the backdrop of the recent financial crisis,” said Mr. Naidu. “People are searching for safe investments. I offer smart cities as the safest investment because land is going to be there, structures are going to be there, so the returns are assured.” With an aim to achieve “inclusive growth”, the Smart City Mission promotes integrated city planning, where the government’s policies such as Swachh Bharat Mission and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation complement each other. Taking a tough stance over the delay of project approvals at the State-level, Mr. Naidu said the new parameters set by the Ministry have created a “perform or perish” situation where municipal councils “cannot afford to miss this opportunity of recasting the country’s urban landscape”. The Ministry will impose fines on States that violate the timeline of 60 days of finalizing the projects. “I held three consultations with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Defence Ministry and the Ministry of Environment,” Mr. Naidu said. Of the 98 cities and towns that five years down will graduate into smart cities, 24 are capital cities, another 24 are business and industrial centres, 18 are culture and tourism influenced areas, five are port cities and three are education and health care hubs. The missed ones Nine cities, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Shimla, Puducherry, Daman, Patna, Itanagar, Thiruvananthapuram and Gangtok did not qualify for being a smart city. “This non-inclusion goes to prove that the selection in the first stage of competition was not swayed by the status or importance of the cities and the selection was objective and as per the stipulated criteria,” Mr. Naidu said. Mr. Naidu said the Urban Development Ministry would provide Rs. 100 crore to each city over the next five years. The success of the government’s Smart City Mission is largely dependent upon the finance generation at the State-level as well as private investments. The Centre has set aside Rs. 48,000 crore for the mission and the money will be released to urban local bodies at frequent intervals in the next five years. The Centre has asked the State governments to generate the rest of the Rs. 48,000 crore as the grand total of the mission is estimated at Rs. 96,000 crore. Here is the list of all 98 Smart Cities announced by government:
