The central
government is planning to develop two (2) “smart” cities with a host
of modern features such as intelligent transport, carbon neutral status in each
of the States in the second phase of the JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National
Urban Renewal Mission).
Half Million to One Million Population..!
Mr. Kamal Nath also said, “Now how do we define these smart
cities, what will it cover....! right from broadband, intelligent transport to
carbon neutral (features), these are so many components...that is what we
propose to collaborate with the Austrian Institute of Technology. We want to
seek assistance from the Institute on what kind of model smart cities we should
look at”
Mr. Kamal Nath added, “We can not take on very large cities
for smart cities at this stage, we must recognise that. We have to take our
medium sized ones, so we want to look at cities with half a million population
to one million population instead of trying to take on cities with ten million
population. We have discussed the possibility of collaboration between the
Austrian Institute of Technology & the National Institute of Urban Affairs
which comes under the ministry of Urban Development”
