What is Smart City Mission?

Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting program by

the Government of India with a mission to develop 100 cities all over

the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable.

The Union Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for

implementing the mission in collaboration with the state

governments of the respective cities.

The government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a

vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities

and by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities.

The 100 potential smart cities were nominated by all the states

and union territories based on Stage 1 criteria, prepared smart city

plans which were evaluated in stage 2 of the competition for

prioritizing cities for financing.

In the first round of this stage, 20 top scorers were chosen for

financing during 2015-16.

The remaining will be asked to make up the deficiencies identified

by the Apex Committee in the Ministry of Urban Development for

participation in the next two rounds of competition.

40 cities each will be selected for financing during the next rounds

of competition.

OBJECTIVE

To promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of ‘Smart Solutions’.

The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model which will act like a light house to other aspiring cities.

It is meant to set examples that can be replicated both within andoutside the Smart City, catalysing the creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions and parts of the country.

The purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic growthand improve the quality of life of people by enabling local area development and harnessing technology, especially technology that leads to Smart outcomes.

Smart Solutions:

Convergence with other

government schemes Comprehensive development occurs in areas by integrating the physical,

institutional, social and economic infrastructure.

There is a strong complementarity between the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation andUrban Transformation (AMRUT) and Smart Cities Mission in achieving urbantransformation.

Difference in Approaches :

AMRUT - Project-based approach.

Smart Cities Mission - Area-based strategy.

Great benefit can be derived by seeking convergence of other Central & StateGovernment Programs/Schemes with the Smart Cities Mission.

At the planning stage itself, cities must seek convergence in the SCP with AMRUT,Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), National Heritage City Development andAugmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), Digital India, Skill development, etc.

ABOUT SMART CITIES

Features of Smart City.

Strategies for Smart Cities.

Challenges for Smart Cities.

What is Smart City?

The conceptualisation of Smart City, varies from city to city and country

to country, depending on the level of development, willingness to

change and reform, resources and aspirations of the city residents.

In the imagination of any city dweller in India, the picture of a smart city

contains a wish list of infrastructure and services that describes his or her

level of aspiration.

To provide for the aspirations and needs of the citizens, urban planners

ideally aim at developing the entire urban eco-system, which is

represented by the four pillars of comprehensive development-

institutional, physical, social and economic infrastructure.

Core Infrastructure Elements:

Adequate water supply.

Assured electricity supply.

Sanitation, including solid waste management.

Efficient urban mobility and public transport.

Affordable housing, especially for the poor.

Robust IT connectivity and digitalization.

Good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation.

Sustainable Environment.

Safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the elderly.

Health and Education.

Features of Smart City:

Promoting mixed land use in area based developments.

Housing and inclusiveness - expand housing opportunities for all.

Creating walkable localities.

Preserving and developing open spaces.

Promoting a variety of transport options.

Making governance citizen-friendly and cost effective.

Giving an identity to the city.

Applying Smart Solutions to infrastructure and services in area-based

development.

SELECTION PROCESS

Challenge in Selection.

Stage 1 of Selection.

Stage 2 of Selection.

Steps for Selection of a City:

Timeline of Selection Process

The process of selection will be done during 15th Dec 2015 and 25 Jan 2016 and will consist of three parts –

Scanning of SCPs (e.g. collating papers, verifying the completeness of SCP, assigning a unique number), by Ministry of Urban Development –15th Dec to 20 Dec 2015.

Evaluation of SCP by Indian and foreign experts – 20 Dec 2015 to 20 Jan 2016.

Selection by the Apex Committee, Ministry of Urban Development – 20 Jan to 25 Jan 2016.

Round 2 of the Challenge (2016-17) started on 1st April,16 in which 54 cities are participating with their revised proposals which may be submitted by 30th June, 16.

Stage 1: Shortlisting of cities by

States

The State/UT begins shortlists the potential smart cities on the basis of conditions precedent and scoring criteria.

It will be a intra-state competition.

The precedent conditions have to be met by the potential cities in order to succeed in the first round of competition.

The highest scoring potential smart cities will be shortlisted and recommended to participate in Stage 2 of the Challenge.

The cities emerging successful in the first round of competition will be sent by the State/UT as the recommended shortlist of smart cities to MoUD.

Stage 2: The Challenge round for

selection

In stage 2, each of the potential 100 smart cities prepare their

proposals (SCPs) for participation in the ‘City Challenge’.

This is a crucial stage as each city’s Smart City Proposal (SCP) is expected to contain the model chosen (Retrofitting /

Redevelopment / Greenfield Development or a mix thereof,

and additionally include a Pan-City dimension with Smart Solutions).

An evaluation criteria for the SCPs has been worked out by MoUD

based on professional advice and this should act as guidance to

the cities for preparing their proposal.

The SCPs will be submitted to MoUD for all these 100 cities by the stipulated date.

The SCPs will then be evaluated by a Committee involving a panel

of national and international experts, organizations and institutions.

The winners of the first round of Challenge will be announced by

MoUD.

Thereafter,

Winning Cities : start taking action on making their city smart.

Other Cities : start work on improving their SCPs for consideration in the

second round.

Depending on the nature of the SCPs and outcomes of the first round of the Challenge, the MoUD may decide to provide

handholding assistance to the potential Smart Cities to upgrade

their proposals before starting the second round.

Handholding support

It is realised that the task of preparing the SCPs is quite challenging

and States/ULBs will require assistance of experts.

There are two ways of obtaining technical assistance support –

Consulting Firms: The Ministry of Urban Development will technically qualify a panel of consulting firms and the States/UTs are at are at liberty

to draw upon this panel.

Handholding Agencies: During the preparation of Smart Cities Mission, a

number of foreign Government have offered to provide Technical

Assistance (TA) support. These includes World Bank, ADB, JICA, USTDA,

AFD, KfW, UN Habitat etc.
