Experts predict that about 25-30 people will migrate every minute to major Indian cities from rural areas in search of better livelihood and better lifestyles. It is estimated that by the year 2050, the number of people living in Indian cities will touch 843 million. To accommodate this massive urbanization, India needs to ¬find smarter ways to manage complexities, reduce expenses, increase efficiency and improve the quality of life.” (Smartcitiesindia 2015 02)
As the global population increases at a steady pace, more and more people are relocating to cities every single day. Experts predict the world’s urban population will double by 2050 – which means we’re adding the equivalent of seven New Delhi Cities to the planet every single year. Urban areas also contribute a higher share to GDP. The urban population in India is currently 31% of the total population and it contributes over 60% of India’s GDP. In the next 15 years it is projected that urban India will contribute nearly 75% of the national GDP. Cities are accordingly referred to as the engines of economic growth. Hence there is a crying need for cities to get smarter in order to handle this large-scale urbanization and finding new ways to manage complexity, increase efficiency, reduce expenses, and improve quality of life.
This paper tries to look at the concept of Smart cities form an Indian perspective and tries to list down the pros and cons of the proposed 100 smart cities based on the concept note on smart cities as laid out by the Government of India, with respect to the impact these shall bear on the pattern of urban development being seen across the country.
