The transportation ease that a smart city provides

Urban mobility has always been any cities problem in any developing country’s major city. Today, India faces the same. All city administrators need new traffic and urban mobility systems that can manage the vehicle hassles in unplanned cities. Traffic issues arise due to improper planning while or before developing a city. Along with slums, it is one of the biggest problems faced by urban areas in the country today. Delhi is no exception and today, Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP government has brought in the odd-even traffic rule that the entire state is suffering from. Many have gone on to call it illogical and ineffective, and facts reflect the same.
“The basic idea of pan-city development is to apply digital technology to existing transportation so as to bring in an efficiency component, reduce transaction cost and travel time. It is not meant to be capital intensive. It could be having digital bike docks as in the case of London or Manhattan or provision of real-time traffic information along roads as Barcelona does at its bus stops,” said urban expert Saswat Bandyopadhyay, professor of planning at the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology University.

“We are hoping to procure these over the next three years using our own funds and will improve the traffic efficiency under the Smart City mission,” said Krishnan Kumar. With that, it is quite evident that what Kumar has proposed in Bhubaneshwar is being sought, will be proposed and strenuously backed up in Delhi. Smart cities can certainly avert these problems and it is expected that it will happen soon and the [painful; odd-even rule will be eradicated.

The slew of housing solutions envisioned in 2016

It’s a staggering situation in India to see over Rs.4 lakh crores being invested in developing land and transforming it into residential smart cities that have immaculate amenities. This was initiated by the NDA government that came into power in 2014. Over 100 cities in India were promised by the PMO citing the problem of poverty and poor development of land that led to many slums and illegal constructions. While 2015 was a positive year as many things in this plan progressed, it seems like 2016 is going to be an advanced state of the same which is a very good sign.
2015 saw many positives. The declaration of the list of the cities where smart cities will be developed opened opportunities for developers while amendments in realty development laws that favored the purchasers and investors created a positive environment around the entire land and realty development echelons in India. The division of various smart cities under various schemes also helped in the initial stages to progress. All in all, 2015 was the foundation period where the bricks were laid and now the initiation of the grand plan can be expected by the government, so, it can be said that 2016 will be a great year for this sector.

Urban Development and Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, "The year 2015 is very significant in the sense that we have set urban planning in the country on a new course. Consequent to the provisions under AMRUT, Smart City Mission and Housing Mission, there is a new churning resulting in a new conscience on the part of urban local bodies, which are the Achilles tendon for effective planning and execution". He also added, "I am happy to see urban local bodies rediscover themselves, identifying gaps and coming out with strategies for correction. Smart City Mission has caught the imagination of harassed urban people. A new beginning has been made. Now the task is to collectively succeed on the execution front to make urban areas more livable and conducive to business and economic activity."
