“The technology of telecommunications and information and the economics of a global
i
economy are rapidly converging, ushering in a post-industrial age of information. In the
ers
wake of this convergence, all institutions, both private and public, are being forced to
reinvent themselves. Power is being realigned and wealth redefined. Old forms of
niv
governance are being replaced with the emergence of the City-State and the establishment
of local and regional “smart communities” that aggressively embrace the tools of this new
age.”

—Second World Forum on Smart Communities (Eger, 1997)
Smart city evolution has its roots in smart community initiatives. Smart community was
mooted by Silicon Valley where ICT was used to integrate different sectors in 1990 (Roy,
ica
2001). Eventually similar initiatives were taken worldwide in development of smart
community. Smart Valley is probably the most famous smart community, stemming from its
log
Silicon Valley roots. Although it has been known to cover more or less the nine counties in
the San Francisco Bay Area, it is really more “virtual” in nature. Smart Valley and the success
of the Silicon Valley area emerged as a result of an economic downturn in the region in the
no
early 1990s. Its originators describe it as “serving as a real-life pilot demonstrating the
benefits of an electronic community” by working with businesses, local government, and
ch
The term “smart communities” has been used to identify those municipalities which have
adopted this paradigm. Specifically, a smart community is any group of individuals,
organizations and institutions located in the same area that have made a conscious effort to
at
The goal of a smart community is to leverage the synergies among these institutions and the
existing community infrastructure to expand and enhance economic and social activity. The
community infrastructure consists of the institutions and services that support the needs of
the community. Examples include: expertise and training, capital resources, technology
institutions, and physical infrastructure

The famous Silicon Valley has inspiredKnowledge Based Urban Development(KBUD) around
the world in the belief it is a royal road to competitive advantage and economic

development. Such successful KBUD policy implementation in the US has exposed that
creative urban regions can be built by promoting knowledge-based and high-tech precinct
developments. Engineering a creative urban region is a challenging task, factors related to
niv
culture of a place, and government priorities might have a large influence on the economic
success.

In view of this, Brisbane, Australia has strategized its KBUD andinitiated Smart city

State Government’s ‘Smart State Strategy’ Foundation initiated a modest scale local
economic development policy basically aiming to create jobs for the future for Queensland
(Mort and Roan, 2003). The Smart brand also comprises social and urban development
log
policy areas to fulfil the requirements of the global knowledge-based economy. Smart State
Strategy aims to produce a friendly investment climate, and enhance the endogenous skills
base of the residents (Wiltshire, 2003). This branding strategy also restructured economic
no
activities by shifting the primary focus of production from traditional economic sectors to
knowledge intensive industries (Mort and Roan, 2003). This shift, in turn, brought a major

move in the Smart State Strategy frameworks from a modest local economic development
policy perspective to a more ambitious KBUD policy perspective, a sustainable development
Te
model involving the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality and
social equity (Smyth et al. 2004). In 2007 in line with the Smart State Strategy, Brisbane has
developed its ‘Smart City Strategy’. This new strategy aims to address and promote:
at
information access, lifelong learning, digital divide, social inclusion, quality of life, and
economic development in and around the city. In contrast to relatively mature Smart State

to an investigation of 70 middle sized European cities (Giffinger et al., 2007). these proposed
dimensions, as shown in Figure, are: a smart economy; smart mobility; a smart environment;

The Problem
When a rickshaw driver was both rude to him and overcharged him for his trip, an
ch
entrepreneur in Rajkot sprung into action. The encounter highlighted a set of common
problems in Indian transportation — the lack of good customer service and transparent,

Te
The Solution
at
G-Auto was developed to ensure better customer and driver experiences. The initiative
allows customers to use an online or mobile app to book an auto rickshaw. G-Auto has also

created a transparent, metered payment system, and an online feedback form. This solution
would not have flourished without city support. In Rajkot, the city government played a key
role in enabling the solution by introducing reforms by working with various city
Gu
stakeholders, such as the regional transport office, traffic police, driver unions and service
providers.
The Results
G-Auto, which was launched in 2009, has built a network of 15,000 drivers across
Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Surat, and Delhi. It offers customers multiple services,
including a door-to-door service, a tourist service, a daily commuter service, and an out-of-

made cleansing the city and preventing the further spread of disease a significant challenge.
lU
The Solution
The Surat local authority and the municipal commissioner at the time ensured that major
roads and markets were cleaned twice a day; enacted strict hygiene and sanitation
ica
standards in eating houses, sweetshops, fruit and vegetable shops; fined people for littering;
improved solid waste management; and divided the city into 52 “sanitary wards,” each of
log
which had its own cleanliness inspector. The city also launched public-private partnerships to
improve waste collection.
The Results
no
Results were visible within weeks, and today, Surat is seen as one of India’s cleanest cities.
Surat also built upon its early successes. It has set an example with its computerised water

Introduction
Construction on the world’s first zerocarbon, zero-waste, car-free city began in April 2007 in
Abu Dhabi. Named “Masdar”, which means “source” in Arabic, the Masdar Initiative will
Te
The 3 E’s of Sustainability: Economy, Environment & Equity Sustainable developers recognize
that a holistic approach is necessary in designing a city to meet the needs of its people and
jar
the environment in which it exists. We will use Wheeler’s three criteria of economy,
environment and equity to evaluate the overall sustainability of the Masdar initiative
Gu
(Wheeler, 2004).
Economy Abu Dhabi’s economy is heavily dependent on its vast reserves of oil and gas. The
UAE is the 11th largest oil producing country in the world and nearly 40% of the country’s
GDP is directly based on oil and gas output (CIA, 2008). The UAE and Abu Dhabi realize that
economic growth based on fossil fuel production is unsustainable in the long term due to
limited fossil fuel reserves and growing international concern about climate change. If
countries around the world make a significant shift away from fossil fuels to renewable
sources of energy to combat global climate change, the economy in Abu Dhabi as it is
ty
currently structured will suffer significantly.
i
ers
Environment One of Masdar’s greatest strengths is its environmental sustainability
components. The Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC) has spared no expense in
hiring two of the world’s most prominent green architecture (Foster + Partners) and
niv
engineering (CH2M) firms to design and construct Masdar, and unarguably, these firms have
delivered (Sustainable Business, 2008; ENS, 2008). Masdar employs the most cutting edge
renewable technologies and sustainable design elements which vastly reduce Masdar’s
lU
ecological footprint (Masdar Initiative, 2008). In fact, compared to the average urban city,
Masdar’s net energy demand is reduced 70% (McGrath, 2008), net water demand reduced
ica
300% and net waste production reduced 400% (Sustainable Business, 2007). Below, we
provide a brief description of how Masdar meets or exceeds each of the One Planet Living
initiative’s goals for environmentally sustainable communities.
log
Equity Developers have minimal plans to promote equity in the design of Masdar City. Other
than pledging to pay all employees fair wages in accordance with international labor
no
standards, the city does little else to account for differences in equality. One reason for this
omission may be that Abu Dhabi is one of the wealthiest areas in the world. The emirate had
ch
a per capita GDP of $63,000 in 2006, which is the third highest in the world behind
Luxembourg and Norway (AME, 2007). Abu Dhabi nationals, who control one-tenth of the
Te
world’s oil, are worth an average of $17 million each (Gimbel, 2007).

A smart city has been defined as a ‘knowledge’, ‘digital’, and ‘cyber’ or ‘eco’ city;
representing a concept open to a variety of interpretations, depending on the goals set out
ch
by a smart city’s planners. We might refer to a smart city as an improvement on today’s city
both functionally and structurally, using information and communication technology (ICT) as
an infrastructure.
Te
1. New cities, built smart from the start: these cities are designed to attract businesses and
residents with a master plan that uses ICT to deliver efficient citizen benefit services.
jar
2. Existing cities made smart, smartization: This partial approach (step by step; with retrofits
and upgrades) is followed by most cities.
Gu
3. Purpose-driven cities: These are cities established with special purposes, e.g., industrial
cities, science towns, etc.
• The First Phase, or the individual service level, applies ICT to improve individual city
operations such as transportation, safety, environment and culture. The majority of 2012’s
smart city projects lie in this phase, an example being the addition of real-time bus schedule
information to public transportation services, or using closed-circuit television (CCTV) to a
greater extent in maintaining public safety. • The Second Phase, or the vertical service level,
ty
integrates related processes and services by smart technology within major sectors of a city,
enabling the provision of more advanced services. Taking the transportation sector as an
i
ers
example, citizens are offered information on the public transportation system’s real-time
activity as well as emergencies, road conditions, road repairs and subsequent detours. Smart
city services are not yet integrated across sectors, but people will experience leaps forward
niv
in the quality of service provided by each sector. • The Third Phase, or the horizontal service
level, is the point of smart city development at which there is no longer a distinction
between different services areas, with all parts now seamlessly integrated within an efficient
lU
smart city ecosystem.
ica
Cities set out their own unique priorities when planning a smart city, but all smart cities must
display three essential traits: • ICT Infrastructure: Securing next-generation ICT
log
infrastructure is critical to the success of emerging smart-city services. Efforts to develop ICT
infrastructure must anticipate future service demands, rather than respond only to those
most apparent. • Integrated City-management Framework: A well-defined ‘integrated city-
no
strictest adherence to common standards. • Smart Users: ICTs are the tools to enable a
smart city, but are of no use without smart-tech users able to interact with smart services.
Te
Increasing access to smart devices and education on their use, across income levels and age
groups, must remain one of a smart city’s highest priorities.

6. Community Mapping

ica
concern to their neighborhood or community.
Seoul’s Smart Metering Project aims to reduce the city’s total energy use by 10 per cent, and
in 2012, Seoul is piloting a program installing smart meters in 1,000 households. Smart
meters provide home, office and factory owners with real-time reports of their electricity,

Definitely it is known that smart cities are more or less looking for solutions in terms of
optimization of process. They have to go with their usual concerns about providing basic
jar
services; building housing stocks cope up with new challenges. But Smart city is more or less
depends upon how u can optimise these process in terms of time as well as resources and
bend whole process in towards the citizen responsive attitude. One this is quite clear ICT
Gu
based solutions will lead to transparency and accountability of local bodies, but question is
at what level of ICT should be adopted when we are struggling with conventional problems
like providing universal water and sanitation.
In such cases urban planning should provide a platform in order to prioritise the services and
expenditure in city wide infrastructure. ICT can serve city better but urban planning have
imperative towards the inclusion, basically bottom 30% of population. As in figure the one of
ty
the important pillar of smart city development is People-Resource and Capacity where
Digital literacy is one of very important aspects. Not only digital literacy even affordability of

The city of the future will be one that grows, evolves and responds according to the needs of its
inhabitants. ICTs can open new opportunities for citizens to more actively shape the future of their
cities by sparking new forms of civic participation, increasing social inclusion and accessibility for
Te
persons with disabilities, reducing infrastructural barriers, sharing resources, accessing relevant
information and enabling a real-time dialogue in which city administrators and citizens can learn
at
from one another. Technology-enabled solutions like e-government and 24-hour government help
reduce administration, increase access and improve coordination. This in turn helps free up
jar
resources that can be used to increase quality and add value to public services. Mobile banking can
improve inclusion by banking the unbanked, and foster social inclusion in informal settlements.
Gu
As ICT transforms society, it is also has the potential to transform way that participatory planning
and management processes are carried out. By putting effort into strengthening collaborative
capabilities, cities can be more prepared for collaboration with groups that are focused on
responding to social issues and urban development. Virtual communities, gamification, e-petitioning
and e-panels provide potential of enhancing and complementing existing community participation
processes as well as developing new ways of reaching previously hard-to-reach groups. Collaborative
government institutions, citizens, companies and industries can work together to further democracy
ty
and human rights and improve urban planning.
i
ers
In last discussion the inclusion is part of urban planning in cities rather than Digital planning. Digital
Mater Plan of cities should be based on base line prepared through conventional planning and
overlapping the community priorities on them. Question is still Smart cities for whom how we
niv
goanna face the challenge of Digital Inclusion, do civil society themselves will be able to solve the
problems or we have to search for more innovative way to address them.
