Some Ravishing Smart City Features For Beginners

The main drivers of a smart city is its mission to promote economic growth and uplift the standard of living of the citizens in the city. It involves redevelopment of structures, processes with the support of high technology to bring about smart solutions to challenges. 

Some ravishing features of a smart city are mentioned below:

1. Utilizing Land Effectively: When you plan to build a smart city from scratch, you are planning what to do on an unplanned barren land. Here, you need to carefully analyse which infrastructure units need to be close to each other, like a Hub town of Corporate companies or a Governance hub where all governance units are in one respective area. This change in infrastructure designing will enable a mixed promotion of land use where a range of compatible activities of land use is close to each other making land more efficient and convenient for its citizens.
2. Building Housing Facilities: A smart city enhances the overall housing capacity of the city making it ideal for citizens to live. This doesn’t stop at just building houses but also making resources like continuous water supply, Green electricity available to its inhabitants. Additionally, a well-planned housing plan includes school, colleges, IT services and healthcare services available to all around the vicinity.
3. Creating A Citizen Friendly Land: A smart city brings with itself a critical agenda of uplifting citizens standard of living. Here, you can execute various citizen services like reducing transport time by making transport easy and automated. Additionally, you invest in green land like in building parks and gardens to ensure oxygen flow around the city. Also, pedestrian friendly roads have been gaining more importance due to the pollution that travel creates. There is a scope of Green travel like creating safe and dedicated cycling paths.
4. Promoting Various Transport Options: Everyone is looking to save seconds and minutes in travel time. Introduction of Metro’s and Monorails in peak traffic locations is an ideal solution to face this challenge. Making air tickets and railway tickets booking available online through the use of the Internet is one of the most effective ways of handling travel issues in today’s metro city’s. Making data available of train schedules and flight schedules helps citizens make decisions quickly and efficiently.
5. Citizen Friendly Governance: With the high use of technology and internet, data which was once available in libraries (physical form) are now available to the masses online (i.e E-Governance). The increased use of mobile phones and laptops have saved our physical trips to the municipality offices making things easily done with few clicks. This automation of the government process creates high accountability and also provides transparent governance to its citizens.
6. The City gets an Identity: Every smart city based on the economic activities it encourages gets a name of its own. Example: Some cities are known for their delicious Cuisine, some for their health services. Additionally, city’s also build identities like the best education systems are found here. Some are known for their varied textile, sports, culture, art and many more such identities.
7. Citizen Protection: With crimes and injustice increasing in the world with respect to women, children, etc. a smart city lays down citizen protection rules to ensure safety of its citizens. The use of CCTV cameras to track down crimes, ensuring justice to one and all. Additionally, a smart city tries to keep its city away from disasters both manmade as well as natural.
