Smart Cities Mission is one of its kinds and does not follow a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Only a broad framework has been given to cities in which they have to conceptualize their idea of a Smart City and plan their pathway to ‘smartness’.

Ministry of Urban Development has so far selected 60 Smart Cities in various rounds and based on the Smart City Proposals submitted by Cities, this Ministry has started the process to set the standards for the Smart Cities in India. 16 key features have been outlined, which form the guiding framework for the development of Smart Cities in India. Cities have used this framework to determine their pathway towards ‘smartness’ in their SPVs. The framework includes criteria for Smart City features, induction and the benchmarks. Importantly, there are four stages defined in the pathway of Cities towards smartness. Starting with the baseline condition the Smart Cities will progress through the following stages -

• Level 1 – Base case where service levels are less than 50% of the prescribed benchmark
• Level 2 – Service levels are more than 50% of the prescribed benchmark
• Level 3 – Service levels are more than 75% of the prescribed benchmark
• Level 4 – Advanced stage where prescribed benchmark has been achieved

Co-creation of ideas, strategies, innovative and frugal solutions through an extensive consultative process with all stakeholders is mandated in the Smart Cities Mission Guidelines. Therefore, to finalize the standards for Smart Cities, this Ministry has decided to invite suggestions on the draft Standards. Citizen from all walks of life are welcome to be a part of the consultative process and provide valuable inputs. The last date of submission of suggestions is 20th December 2016.

Comment No 1: A smart city should have frequent charging stations for electric cars and public buses, both of which save energy, prevent pollution. It should not have trams with overhead power supply and iron tracks to run on. It should have lots of bi-cycle paths. Comment No. 2: It should have a lot of public toilets so that the poor do not have to defecate in the open or in parks. Even a city like Ahmedabad has many Jhuggi-jhopris and open defecation.

In my view first importance should give to cleanliness. Basic thing is 1) garbage free city 2) no wall poster 3) bring out the place important for what the city is 3) main think is plantation of less water need trees 4) all the city bulbs glow only in solar light 5)in many cities drainage flows into the river, ponds etc before flowing these should be completely treated and strictly monitored 6) for slums houses should be made 7) strict rules can put all houses should save rain water.

Most of us who use public transport in smart cities to de-congest the roads & reduce the growing pollution.Even after putting all effort the situation is no better today. I propose to develop a system/application for common people who use the efficient pubic shared transport like Bus, metro, shared pool cabs (not dedicated taxi) to get some carbon points once they use this mode of transport. Govt. could think giving these citizens some tax benefits along with other benefits by redeeming points

new formula for concrete is 2:1:1:3 where 2-cement 1-fine purified sand 1-normal sand 3-gravel by doing so, the life of the concrete will extend to 16000 years kindly make this change immediately if required you can do the math and find youngs modulus will go up by 10 to 100 times In addition 1.coat the steel in concrete with a material which is water repellent and will bind with steel and concrete 2.after curing seal all the pores with white cement on all exposed sides

Respected Sir, In my view, Smart Cities should be close to being self sufficient and self sustainable to the extent possible. Secondly, it should rely mostly on renewable,clean sources of energy, again to the extent possible. Thrust should be given to the conservation of natural resources and utilizing them as in rain water harvesting etc. At the same time, infrastructural development with modern technology is a must.

The Target compactness criteria-The city is highly compact and dense, making the most of land within the city. Buildings are clustered together, forming walkable and inviting activity centres and neighbourhoods can be only a dream in India due to lack of wide roads,water supply,drainage infra,with out infrastructure if dense planning is allowed,there will be profiteering in land,due to concentrated development which will suit small group of people, while the city may become un-liveable& slums

my vision on smart city is to maximise the use of renewable energies like sun and wind all the goverment buildings,schools,malls,high rises and all public places must be installed with rooftop solar panels so as to minimise fossil fuel. wastelands should be identified to install wind mills and solar panels to make best use of those places all the walking pavements should be covered with green grass so that dust and dirt does not contribute in pollution.plantation be the 1st priority

Revise compactness criteria,as most Indian cities lack water supply/drainage/road infrastructure&cant handle dense development.Your Ministry Addl Secretary Mr Sameer Sharma personal opinion in blog.mygov.in"Often, higher density in Indian cities is the result of over-concentration or unplanned mixing of land uses (called mixed-up land use) The congestion forces so generated have a negative spiralling effect on liveability and directly constrain the full exploitation of agglomeration economies".

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी से यह अनुरोध है कि संलग्न सबूतों पर गौर फ़रमाएं व राष्ट्रीय-राजधानी की ही व्यवस्था में आमूलचूल परिवर्तन सुनिश्चित करवाएं। धन्यवाद॥
