100 smart cities’ blue print is getting ready
The ambitious plan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build 100 smart cities across the country is a major step towards a Digital India. India is looking forward to upgrading its urban areas and creating new world class cities. The prime minister is pro urbanisation and digitisation and recognition is given to technology in realising the Prime Minister’s digital dreams.
Smart city especially in the Indian context is a city that has well placed smart looking planned buildings which are Wi-Fi enabled in order to provide communication connectivity through free models. This was announced by Navin M Raheja the chairman of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO).
Also, its various public services and management facilities including traffic management, urban lighting, waste management, technology management and its maintenance should be in place. Any city is said to be smart when it is equipped with smart grids and energy efficiency, intelligent transportation, connected healthcare, public safety and security along with wireless communications and hotspots.
A smart city should have ready access to the government and land records, central control with regard to traffic and sustainable infrastructure for electricity and fibre lines. If such cities are built in India then it will add to the progress of the nation and will take care of the current infrastructure problems plaguing the present metros. Also this will generate jobs for the Indian youth and will curb the problem of unemployment to an extent.
