A Critical Analysis of the Indian Smart Cities Mission by Sugandha Pdf

Smart cities are seen as the new way of securing sustainable urban development to address pressing issues of global urbanization. Sustainability is still often conceived through an environmental lens, yet any change in the built environment has implications for the social dimension of sustainability. Social sustainability is a dynamic concept that combines design of the physical realm with the design of the social world and promotes infrastructure to support social needs and concerns. While smart cities primarily aim at enhancing performance through an innovative use of digital data and technology, a social sustainability perspective stresses the critical interconnections between people and place. Through a critical literature review, this thesis establishes a dialogue between the smart city and social sustainability. It evaluates the smart city concept from a social sustainability perspective within a built environment paradigm. A multi-stage conceptual framework is advanced to study both the social objectives and outcomes of smart city policies. The conceptual framework aims to extract the major contextual social sustainability thematic factors and to evaluate the nature and nuances of social dimensions in smart cities. This is applied to the case of Smart Cities Mission (SCM) in India. A multi-scalar analysis evaluates the social environment of the smart cities at three levels - an overall examination of the Mission guidelines, analysis of 100 smart cities' aspirations, and an empirical focus on the two smart cities - Bhubaneswar and Faridabad. The analysis shows that the deliberation on global smart cities still lacks focus on social equity and inclusion. SCM acknowledges the significance of social sustainability to achieve balanced urban growth with references to social capital, inclusion and equity, infrastructure, and collaboration. However, the study indicates that they are not comprehensively delivered. This thesis systematically identifies an array of challenges and opportunities of the 100 SCM in India to develop smart 'social' cities. The broader message of the research is that social sustainability is an integral component of the urban agenda and appropriate steps must be taken to align social needs with urban development under the increasingly common but elusive smart city banner.

Smart City in India by Binti Singh,Manoj Parmar Pdf

This book is a critical reflection on the Smart City Mission in India. Drawing on ethnographic data from across Indian cities, this volume assesses the transformative possibilities and limitations of the program. It examines the ten core infrastructural elements that make up a city, including water, electricity, waste, mobility, housing, environment, health, and education, and lays down the basic tenets of urban policy in India. The volume underlines the need to recognize liminal spaces and the plans to make the ‘smart city’ an inclusive one. The authors also look at maintaining a link between the older heritage of a city and the emerging urban space. This volume will be of great interest to planners, urbanists, and policymakers, as well as scholars and researchers of urban studies and planning, architecture, and sociology and social anthropology.

Shaping Smart for Better Cities by Alessandro Aurigi,Nancy Odendaal Pdf

Shaping Smart for Better Cities powerfully demonstrates the range of theoretical and practical challenges, opportunities and success factors involved in successfully deploying digital technologies in cities, focusing on the importance of recognizing local context and multi-layered urban relationships in designing successful urban interventions. The first section, ‘Rethinking Smart (in) Places’ interrogates the smart city from a theoretical vantage point. The second part, ‘Shaping Smart Places’ examines various case studies critically. Hence the volume offers an intellectual resource that expands on the current literature, but also provides a pedagogical resource to universities as well as a reflective opportunity for practitioners. The cases allow for an examination of the practical implications of smart interventions in space, whilst the theoretical reflections enable expansion of the literature. Students are encouraged to learn from case studies and apply that learning in design. Academics will gain from the learning embedded in the documentation of the case studies in different geographic contexts, while practitioners can apply their learning to the conceptualisation of new forms of technology use. Demonstrates how to adapt smart urban interventions for hyper-local context in geographic parameters, spatial relationships, and socio-political characteristics Provides a problem-solving approach based on specific smart place examples, applicable to real-life urban management Offers insights from numerous case studies of smart cities interventions in real civic spaces

Smart Economy in Smart Cities by T. M. Vinod Kumar Pdf

The present book highlights studies that show how smart cities promote urban economic development. The book surveys the state of the art of Smart City Economic Development through a literature survey. The book uses 13 in depth city research case studies in 10 countries such as the North America, Europe, Africa and Asia to explain how a smart economy changes the urban spatial system and vice versa. This book focuses on exploratory city studies in different countries, which investigate how urban spatial systems adapt to the specific needs of smart urban economy. The theory of smart city economic development is not yet entirely understood and applied in metropolitan regional plans. Smart urban economies are largely the result of the influence of ICT applications on all aspects of urban economy, which in turn changes the land-use system. It points out that the dynamics of smart city GDP creation takes ‘different paths,’ which need further empirical study, hypothesis testing and mathematical modelling. Although there are hypotheses on how smart cities generate wealth and social benefits for nations, there are no significant empirical studies available on how they generate urban economic development through urban spatial adaptation. This book with 13 cities research studies is one attempt to fill in the gap in knowledge base.

The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Global Urban Studies by Patrick Le Galès,Jennifer Robinson Pdf

The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Global Urban Studies is a timely intervention into the field of global urban studies, coming as comparison is being more widely used as a method for global urban studies, and as a number of methodological experiments and comparative research projects are being brought to fruition. It consolidates and takes forward an emerging field within urban studies and makes a positive and constructive intervention into a lively arena of current debate in urban theory. Comparative urbanism injects a welcome sense of methodological rigor and a commitment to careful evaluation of claims across different contexts, which will enhance current debates in the field. Drawing together more than 50 international scholars and practitioners, this book offers an overview of key ideas and practices in the field and extends current thinking and practice. The book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across the range of disciplines which converge in the study of urbanism, including geography, sociology, political studies, planning, and urban studies.
