The Smart Cities Mission aimed at driving financial development and improving citizen satisfaction through exhaustive work on the friendly, monetary, physical, and institutional strengths of the city. The attention was on manageable and comprehensive advancement by the formation of replicable models.
The vision was to encourage urban communities that give better infrastructure, clean surroundings, and economical livelihood and provide satisfaction to their residents through ‘smart solutions’.
Stakeholders involved
Smart Cities Mission authorities, municipal corporations, urban local bodies, urban planners, department officials, project management consultants, master system integrators, and citizens.
Solution and Implementation Plan
GIS-based planning helped the department to plan utilities strategically so that the maximum number of citizens can be served at optimal cost. The property tagging feature helped departments identify unassessed properties, resulting in a property tax collection increase. GIS also helped the department to improve traffic movement for less congestion in peak hours.
Citizen services have become a lot easier with GIS information as it helped the department to exactly know about the citizens’ location and their requirements and it led to quick resolution of required services.
GIS-based multi-criteria decision-making support has led many departments in spatially selecting sites for city utility planning and asset management.
