Smart Cities - For a Smarter Generation
The ambitious Smart Cities project of the Government of India is well on its course. It is estimated that 20 smart cities will be ready by 2021. Data sourced from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development suggests that projects worth Rs 50,221 crore are under implementation, out of which projects worth Rs 9,981 crore have already been completed.
Each city under this mission will have an integrated command and control centres (ICCC). At present, 11 cities have operational ICCCs; centres in 29 cities are under construction; while tenders for 21 more have been processed. The ICCCs are designed to enable authorities to monitor the status of various amenities in real time. The centres will control and monitor online water and power supply, sanitation, traffic movement, integrated building management, city connectivity and the Internet infrastructure.
