What is Smart City ?

“The use of Smart Computing technologies to make the critical infrastructure components

and services of a city––which include city administration, education,

healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, and utilities––more

intelligent, interconnected, and efficient”

A city can be defined as ‘smart’ when investments in human and social capital and

traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel

sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory

action and engagement. (Caragliu et al. 2009)

A Smart City is one that is able to link physical capital with social one, and to

develop better services and infrastructures.

It is able to bring togethertechnology, information, and political vision, into a coherent Programme of

urban and service improvements.

A city “connecting the physical infrastructure, the IT

infrastructure, the social infrastructure, and the

business infrastructure to leverage the collective

intelligence of the city”

Data Connects all aspects of Smart City

Making city data available online using open standards will make the operation of city government more effective, transparent and accountable to the public.

It will streamline o Intra-governmental and inter-governmental communicationo Interoperabilityo Permit the public to assist in identifying efficient solutions for

governmento Promote innovative strategies for social progresso Avenues for economically viable models.

Data/Open Data and Smart City

• New frontier for Planner-Citizen interaction emerges from the open data movement.

• In some cities, local governments are actively engaged in releasing municipal data through open data catalogues.

• With these data liberated, developers and Urbanites are creating new apps to address important issues in their communities

• Transparency and Civic engagement are two important expectations and requirements in urban planning practice and these two values are also central to the open data movement

• Although it is early days, the frontier of open data in urban planning is full of opportunities and challenges that we need to explore further

Open Data in Urban Planning

Should have data governance plan for the city

Build different user interfaces Create an interactive data model to engage citizens and businesses

Open Data is the “Need” for Smart Cities

Open Government Data PlatformModel-1

Publish datasets on data.gov.in (As of now 6 States published 182 data on it)

Model-2SaaS Instance of data.gov.in

- Sikkim State (sikkim.data.gov.in) published 82 datasets and

- Surat Municipality (surat.data.gov.in) published 70 datasets

Model-1: Open Datasets can be directly be published either on data.gov.in

Model-2: State/Department/City Local Government Body can have their own data portal for publishing of Open Datasets as an instance of data.gov.in through Software as a Service (SaaS)
