VISION OF SMART CITY

The following important factors have to be considered for defining a strategic ‘VISION’ that would shape a preferred future for a city.

– Vision should have Economical, Spatial, Social and Environmental dimensions that reflects city’s unique physical and cultural traits.

– Vision should provide direction for the activities of the Municipality, Citizens and Stakeholders.

– Vision should capture what your city can be in future, generally achieved within 10 to 20 years time frame.

– Vision statement should inspire the city’s residents.

– Vision statement can even become the branding for your smart city.

– Overarching Vision Statement (Describe in maximum 50 words)

– How does the Vision Statement relate specifically to the city’s profile and city level Self-Assessment completed during Citizen Engagement (Describe in maximum 250 words)

– How does the Vision Statement include your city’s Economic, Social, Environmental and Spatial components (Describe in maximum 250 words)

– How does the Vision Statement summarise the impact on key aspects- Main Economic activity, Sustainability and Inclusiveness (Describe in maximum 250 words)

DEFINITION OF GOALS

– The sub-goals of the city (linked with National Goals) should be defined based on the Self-Assessment made on the 24 features of the Smart City.

– The Goals should be to provide core infrastructure, to give decent quality of life to their Citizens and to apply smart solutions to improve services.

– The Goals should propose the application of smart solutions in PAN City projects and also identify purposes for each of the area based developments.

– Citizen priorities should become directives for the Goals.

STRATEGIC PLAN

Unlike Metro Cities and State capitals, where economic activities are well established, Mangaluru is only a Tier II city which requires initiatives to drive Economic activities to elevate Mangaluru as a Smart City. Mangaluru with its ‘intellectual capital’ and high potential for developing all types of Economic Growth Centres, is an ideal Indian city to be established as a Global City, yet retain its social and cultural identity.

Mangaluru has the biggest advantage of its manageable size, both in terms of extent and population, to be moulded to any new positive direction; To develop Mangaluru as a Smart Global City, a comprehensive approach of developing all required Physical and Social Infrastructure (using smart solutions) along with the development of potential Economic Growth Centres. The development of Infrastructure and Economic Growth Centres has to go hand in hand.

Public Private Partnership (PPP) model of development is the preferred model for developing the potential Economic Growth Centres and unless proper Physical and Social Infrastructure is made available, Private Developers would not be interested in undertaking projects in Tier II cities like Mangaluru, even if attractive financial models are offered.
