heya!
Traditionally, initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission are indicators of developed economies. A developing country will become a successfully developed country when its citizens also upgrade and update themselves. In India, the Mission is in full swing, with the top 20 smart cities stepping into the next stage of implementation. It focuses on the technology overlaying the basic infrastructure that will be built in right places and in sufficient quantities in the cities.
The most vital aspect — the citizens who live and work in these cities — must be integral to the implementation process as well. The success of the Mission is firmly vested in smart citizens.
A smart citizen is one who has civic sense and respects the law. Some of unanswered questions about smart cities as far as citizen participation is concerned are:
l Will people obey the traffic rules, drive within speed limits and desist from jumping signals?
l Will they put pedestrians first ?
l Will they respect elders and give way to senior citizens?
l Will they park their vehicles at designated spots and not anywhere else?
l Will they maintain hygiene not only their flats but also in the common areas of their apartment complexes?
l Will they throw garbage only in bins and practice source segregation during garbage disposal?
Awareness about smart solutions plays crucial role in developing true smart citizens. Though the local authorities of our smart cities will make substantial investments in smart solutions, they cannot skimp on efforts to raise citizen awareness on the efficient usage of these solutions and services.
For example, energy saving cannot be achieved merely with smart meters in a home. In order to reduce energy consumption and save money on bills, consumers need to not only monitor their energy use but also make an effort to change the whole family’s daily energy usage behaviour.
This would include shifting to energy-efficient appliances, reducing TV time, and switching off electrical appliances when not in use, especially during peak periods.
A smart city connects people with their environment and city to create more efficient and optimal relationships between available resources, technology, community services, and events in the urban fabric. This connection is a tool that links the implementation of the smart city and the proposed technology.
JLL India’s strategic consulting team advocates citizen participation as the major success factor in implementing the smart solutions in a city, and successfully demonstrated this while preparing the proposal for Bhubaneswar and Chennai (among the top 20 smart cities, with Bhubaneswar ranked as number 1). The aspects to be followed to make the Smart City Mission successful through smart citizens across India:
Citizen participation
Most developed cities ensure that citizens participate in every aspect, from cleaning to safety requirements. Citizen participation ensures citizen satisfaction, which in turn ensures maximum efficiency of the proposed technology.
Good governance is always measured by the extent to which it involves its citizens in the overall decision-making process.
In an increasingly complex world, citizens’ inputs are a critical resource for policy-making. Good decision-making requires the knowledge, experiences, views and values of the public. The participation of citizens has become simpler through online government portals.
Such participation reduces the conflict of opinions and makes implementation easier. Smart citizens need to be fully inclusive, innovative and sustainable.
Joint engagement of citizens and government
Political will and the technical capacity to engage citizens in policy making, or providing accurate data on government performance, are the hallmarks of developed democracies. Though making policies for a city’s growth and comprehensive development is important, a smart city acknowledges that policies alone are not enough to reach their goals. It solicits support from its citizens and local stakeholders to make this happen.
Citizens are called upon to jointly take responsibility and engage in the process. Building social capital is essential to ensure that smart citizens acquire the capabilities and skills to meet the challenges of the future. Only then does a city become ‘future ready’.
hope it helps uh!
