The concept paper talked about certain condition precedents that must be satisfied by the cities before being considered smart. The 100 smart cities would largely be allocated to the states on population basis (one satellite city for the 4 metros, one for each state capital, etc). The concept paper can be seen at MoUD_Smart City . I said we'll examine in details and get back with our views.
MoUD also decared that a "Clean India"campaign would be launched on 2nd October this year and would run for 5 years.

the document shows different criteria for smart city. In existing city it is hard to implement these benchmark.
ReplyDeleteCan New town fulfill these criteria to get the status of a smart city ?
According to the document':
Kolkata can develop a new satellite city.
Siliguri and Asansol has a million plus population. Is brown field development in
these two town will be entertained or different greenfield towns like raghunathpur will be build ?
We are working on our suggestions
ReplyDeleteIt would be really great if Cisco, IBM, etc. can be roped in for the same.
