Our Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi has given a call of “ Smart City “
which is quite popular not only among the people of India but
in other parts of the world . Till so for India has already did lot of base
work and hope that there will be more concrete work for the people. In
September 2014 there was a conference and Expo for ‘ Smart City Living “ in
Dubai where concept of new technologies
where displayed and open discussions were promoted to improve the old cities of
various countries to mould it to sustain future developments for the man kind .
Again there is one question that what this technology is suitable for a poor
country like India . where first we have to arrange food and drinking water . Though for these
two we are making efforts from last more than 30 years but our planners had not carried out
for public . There were no effective vision but again from 2014 when a new
leader has taken up and given call for smart city – it is started flourishing
and day by day the thoughts of people and in the moulding process .
Smart City does not mean only application of hi-tech but
engaging people and responding them for their needs . There must be proper
inter connecting communication system or by transportation system and there
must be optimum use of our resources for food , house for living and mode of
transportation for which water is also very importation . So first efforts must
be such which are responding to people for their needs and at the same time
giving knowledge that how our resources can be useful to full fill our needs .
In 1983-84 on the call of “ World Bank “ for Primary School Buildings I used organic planning , maximum
use of local materials and
transportation of different materials from 50 km distance only and after
investing minimum money and where there was great except ability for
development in future .
The technology applied to achieve qualities of smart city
must have following factors –
1.
The
technology must be embracing .
2.
It
must provide mental and physical comforts to the people of city as well as
people from out side coming to the city
so that they must have tendency to visit the city and try to migrate that
system to reform their own city or near by areas
3.
It
must provide convenience to all .
4.
It
must provide comfort at least up to tolerable limits to all age group of people
and even to kids who are successor in future .
5.
All
developments must have sustainability in future at least for fifty years .
6.
It
must provide sense of security to people of society for every walk of life i.e.
law and order must be perfect and at the same time it also must give fear to culprits and must propagate him to be
a good man .
7.
The
development must to get neat and clean
places which must provide hygienic environment for a better health .
8.
It
must contain a comfortable , time
reducing and economical mode of transportation for people ..
9.
It
must provide proper and healthy links with near by areas and villages to provide people to have a comfortable and enjoy full visit .
10.
Each
one of us use proper use of environmental resources for our better health .
11.
Each
one of us must be care full fo green
buildings or green environment all round to us to develop our and others health
12.
Day
by day each one of us must develop the economy for our self and for others i.e.
“ Live and let others to live “ .
13.
We
must select best process for recycling to save some thing for future generation
too .
14.
There
must be a proper education system for people to create high rate of literacy
among the people .
15.
There
must be positive attitude for crops of cereals and vegetable weather it is
within the city or out side the city because these are the main wealth of the
country .
16.
There
must be proper studies of geological and geographical conditions of the city .
17.
There
must be proper studies of effects of natural elements on environment .
18.
There
must be proper environment for fundamental and higher studies so that back bone
f the country must strong enough .
19.
Proper
studies of satellite towns of the city and method of communications among them.
20.
Proper
studies of facilities are there and how further facilities can be provided for others and even for future .
Case
Study Of ALLAHABAD --- this study has been made on
the following points .—
1.
In
general Allahabad has almost a square form in shape which is surrounded with
water on three sides with rivers like – Ganga, Yamuna and Sarsuti , and which is a healthy significance for
prosperity of the city.
2.
It
has three major satellite towns which are on periphery having a permanent water
belt Ganga or Yamuna in between .
Three major satellite towns are –
Nani , Jushi , and Phaphamu
Since
these towns have lot of short comings therefore neither they grow to have their identity nor have any
major impacted on Allahabad . If these three satellite towns developed in a
proper way than will has impact on
Allahabad as a smart city .
3.
These
are connected with Allahabad with bridges but today these bridges can not full
fill the basic needs of people at least transportations.
4.
Further
it needs more and more bridges of larger capacity like Howrah Bridge at Calcutta or Nani Bridge at Allahabad ,
even which can full fill the needs of people in future too .
5.
These
towns must have proper educational centres with healthy environment , proper
medical centres so that only 20% cases may be refer to Allahabad units .
6.
There
must be proper competitive markets where people may get things of their need on
the cheaper rates than Allahabad with full securities so that a house wife is
free from the security tension . This will help her to devote more time for
other works .
7.
As
for as possible people must be involved in creative works in evening or in
night so that new generation must understand its reparations on people and
society .
8.
There
must be enough opportunities of jobs for
people so that they should not run to a bigger town .
9.
There
must be at least 1 to 2 acres of land for a 4000 to5000 people as a open or
play area or recreational area to keep them fit for their works .
10.
When
these towns are developed than there is need of fast mode of
transportations for which there must be
the provision in future .
11.
After
studies on these points on has to think to develop Allahabad a smart city where all the services must be clear for
people for which there may be minimum charges but for amenities there may be
charges as per investments .
12.
The
old or existing roads must be studies and than find out it required width and
nature of speed so that man may take minimum time to reach from one point to
other point .
13.
The mode of operation of private
weachiles must be decided before hand
and their roots must be fixed at the peak hours because during the peak hours
only public transport system will be
allowed .
14.
There
must be compulsory for each manufacturing or house unit or for sweepers to
collect the waste for recycling by which there may be some useful end product .
15.
Once
if roads are laid down completely than further any operation is not allowed or
if is urgent than there is heavy charges so that in future no body will try for
it .
16.
It is the high time when we must pay attention
on horboriculture which can provide shades to people who are moving on it without
investing any money further .This will be the natural process which will
also help the natural recycling process .
17.
What
today our treatment process are working for its ultimate value , if not than
first find out its problems than think of its remodelling .
18.
Another
measure problem today in city is about various movements of animals . This can
be solved by demarking it separate area on the outskirts of the city or within
the villages which must be supervised with the strict law and orders and than
after proper preservation it can be supplied to the city areas .
19.
Another
very important issue is the transportation of children to school for their
studies which must be carried out only by the institutions for which the
institutions will be responsible only . If organizations are not ready than they should not allowed to a institution
. At the same time first every institution must have complete or all type of
infrastructures than only allowed to run it .
20.
There must be a teacher bank where they can in
role themselves two to three years only where they can get some incentives
, but where ever there is vacancies they
have to go or time to time they must attend the redresser coerces. For these teachers there must be continuing
study programs which they must attend
with the binding to serve the institution at least for five years .
21.
To
make a city smart must be a continues process based on scientific developments
. When new ideas and themes will applied than a teacher will also have the
interest in teaching by heart .
22.
Every
field which is required for day today life need a care full watching and than
application is must .
23.
On
one side of road there must be a nursery having 30% to 40% flower plants and
rest 60% to 70% plants of beautiful foliage of leaves which also can be purchased by people or by
children to develop environment at home . On the other side parking area can be
developed with proper circulation and than merging with main road . This will
help to develop to make city as Green City too .
24.
Man
must have the patience and time to see its future because it will take good time in developing within extreme forms
.
25.
For
a smart city – each one of us must work for others with our core of heart .This
must be in general because each one of us is responsible to maintain our city
neat and clean and must follow a certain order of discipline . For example once
two friends were moving on the street of London and one of them took out his
cigarette packet and took out last cigarette and burn with match box . He thrown empty packet and burn stick on the
street . On the back of these two friends one lady was coming who saw it . She picked
up empty cigarette box and half burn stick and hardly reached to them . First
she shown these two waste things to them and asked them this is your’s . They
said no and these are not mine . She immediately said but London do not
required people like you and she went to dustbin and drop these two waste
things in that . That lady has given them a lesion by core of her heart “ not to repeat it in future “ .
26.
Each
one of us must use the recycling process for waste materials and must use even
its end products as a use full one . For
example anaerobic biodegradation of organic maters which will be the source of
energy as well as end product as a fertilizer for agriculture . This will make
national saving of energy .
27.
There
must be as much as possible use of Renewal Sources of Energy by man in their
lives to make it more friendly for man .
28.
In
the case of smart city one should not disturb the nature and than only they can
use natural effects .
29.Today one can watch that there are several
incidents of building collapsing due to poor strength of structure , use of
sub-standard building materials and use of ineffective construction technology
because today client is interested to make tremendous reduction in cast of
construction and this can be done by only unqualified persons who is only
interested to please the client only . This collapsing of various buildings is
giving a thought of importance of an architect for project . Council of
Architecture is also emphasizing to the professional architects to provide all
possible work must be taken up by the well qualified and responsible person and
who must be questionable in future . I well remember about a English movie “
Tower Infenaro “ where there was a wrong selection of electric wire for such an
important high rise building due to owner who was infulance of an unquajified
person and whole building was in fire and in the last it was also saved by
responsible architect . Another example is of Sir Cattlay who was the principle
of “ Thomson Engineering College “ , Roorkee
who was responsible to contract a canal and must pass through Roorkee
from Ganga river . He was failure for
two times than in the last he went to England and dispose off his all
properties and came back and constructed again and at the time of trail he was
moving on his favourite horse so that if he is failed than he and his horse
will also die , but he got success and later he got the title of “ Sir “ .
