PM Narendra Modi Cabinet Nod For Smart City Project

Redevelopment enables reconstruction of already built-up area that is not amenable for any interventions to make it smart as in the case of Bhendi Bazar of Mumbai and West Kidwai Nagar in New Delhi.

Pan-city components could be interventions like Intelligent Transport Solutions that benefits all residents by reducing commuting time.

Under smart cities initiative, focus will be on core infrastructure services like adequate and clean water supply, sanitation and solid waste management, efficient urban mobility and public transportation, affordable housing for poor, power supply AND robust IT connectivity.

Also e-governance and citizen participation, safety and security of citizens, health and education and sustainable urban environment will receive attention.

AMRUT adopts a project approach to ensure basic infrastructure services relating to water supply, sewerage management, storm water drains, transport and development of green spaces and parks with special provision for meeting the needs of children, according to officials.
