INDIA’S URBAN FLAGSHIP MISSIONS

Mission Objective Strategy

Development of 100 smart cities Enhance the quality of urban life and Employ smart solutions to make
(Smart Cities Mission) provide a clean and suitable environment operations smart and provide ‘more
with less’.

SCM - Introduction
• ‘These 100 Smart Cities will create a replicable model which will act
like a light house to other aspiring cities i.e. these cities will set
examples that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City,
catalyzing the creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions and
parts of the country’.

Retrofitting:
It will introduce planning in an existing built-up area to achieve smart city
objectives, along with other objectives, to make the existing area more efficient
and liveable. In retrofitting, an area consisting of more than 500 acres will be
identified by the city in consultation with citizens.
Depending on the existing level of infrastructure services in the identified area and
the vision of the residents, the cities will prepare a strategy to become smart. Since
existing structures are largely to remain intact in this model, it is expected that
more intensive infrastructure service levels and a large number of smart
applications will be packed into the retrofitted smart city.
This strategy may also be completed in a shorter time frame, leading to its
replication in another part of the city.
2. India’s Smart Cities Mission (cont.)
Redevelopment:
It will effect a replacement of the existing built-up environment and enable co-
creation of a new layout with enhanced infrastructure using mixed land use and
increased density.
Redevelopment envisages an area of more than 50 acres, identified by Urban
Local Bodies (ULBs) in consultation with citizens. For instance, a new layout plan
of the identified area will be prepared with mixed land-use, higher FSI and high
ground coverage.
Two examples of the redevelopment model are the Saifee Burhani Upliftment
Project in Mumbai (also called the Bhendi Bazaar Project) and the redevelopment
of East Kidwai Nagar in New Delhi being undertaken by the National Building
Construction Corporation.
2. India’s Smart Cities Mission (cont.)
Greenfield:
 Greenfield development will introduce most of the Smart Solutions in a
previously vacant area (more than 250 acres) using innovative planning, plan
financing and plan implementation tools (e.g. land pooling/ land reconstitution)
with provision for affordable housing, especially for the poor.
Unlike retrofitting and redevelopment, greenfield developments could be located
either within the limits of the ULB or within the limits of the local Urban
Development Authority (UDA).
Greenfield developments are required around cities in order to address the needs of
the expanding population. One well known example is the GIFT City in Gujarat.
2. India’s Smart Cities Mission (cont.)
Pan-city development:
Pan-city development envisages application of selected Smart Solutions to the
existing city-wide infrastructure. Application of Smart Solutions will involve the
use of technology, information and data to make infrastructure and services better.
For example, applying Smart Solutions in the transport sector (intelligent traffic
management system) and reducing average commute time or cost of citizens will
have positive effects on productivity and quality of life of citizens. Another
example can be waste water recycling and smart metering which can make a huge
contribution to better water management in the city.
