Smart Solutions for Smart Cities
Confederation of Indian IndustryGovernment ofAndhra Pradesh
An Autonomous Society of :
OverviewIndia's economy is expanding rapidly and by 2030 it is
expected to have grown by five times, strengthened largely
by the country's urban centers. In India, around 350
million people are living in urban areas and it is expected to
grow up to 590 million by 2030. This accounts to nearly
40 percent of India's population as compared to the present
31 percent. India is on the verge of the second greatest
urban migration in world's history with migration of about
25-30 people every minute to major Indian cities from rural
areas, in search of better livelihood and better lifestyles.
Surging growth and employment opportunities in urban
cities will become a catalyst for the economic growth by
creating 70 percent of the new jobs while contributing in
excess of 70 percent to India's GDP by 2030.
The major challenge is to develop cities to accommodate its
inhabitants and provide them quality of life with the help of
technology. With the rapid growth of information and
communication technologies, there is a growing interest in
developing smart cities with a focus on the knowledge
economy, use of sensors and mobile & green technologies
to plan and manage cities. The emerging technologies have
potential application in efficiently managing the
environment and infrastructure, promoting economic
development and actively engaging the public, thus
contributing to building safe, healthy, sustainable and
resilient cities.
With globalization of cities, a number of cities are now
competing with one another to attract investments,
knowledge workers and promoting themselves as smart
and intelligent cities. Some of these cities are promoting
themselves for attractive lifestyle such as cultural and
natural amenities, knowledge infrastructure and
technologies.
With this background, APTDC proposes to organize
'SMART INDIA, a Conference on Smart Solutions for Smart
Cities' in Visakhapatnam, which is proposed to be
developed into a smart city by Govt. of India.
This two day conference aims to give a brief overview on
opportunities and challenges in Technology, Governance,
Knowledge & Innovation precincts, People & Skills, Natural
& Cultural Amenities in making Indian cities smarter.
World is witnessing a major change by rapid increase in
urbanization and also the technology. But the basic human
needs like food, water and shelter remain unchanged.
Challenge is in how the cities can provide their inhabitants
with basic necessities like fresh water, affordable food and
safe homes in a clean, non-polluted environment. As all the
systems are inter-linked, to provide these needs effectively,
there are other key areas which also need to be managed
such as Governance, Transport & Connectivity, Energy,
Environment, Healthcare, Information & Communication
Technologies, Economy, Knowledge Infrastructure &
Innovation culture, and Social & Cultural environment.
So far, Indian cities are using advanced technology within
departments in a limited level to solve problems. These
include traffic control, surveillance using CCTV cameras,
few online services, usage of sensors to monitor water
leaks, tracking garbage trucks through global positioning
systems to ensure they dump their waste at designated
landfills, energy management in smart buildings and
complexes.
India has recognized the importance of smart cities with
smart infrastructure which also solves the next generation
problems. Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi,
in his speech on 8th June 2014 regarding smart cities
delivered his vision by saying, “Cities in the past were built
on riverbanks. They are now built along highways. But in
the future, they will be built based on availability of optical
fiber networks and next-generation infrastructure”. Indian
government has pledged to make 100 smart cities and also
to make a Digital India.
The Need

Players and the Global Players looking out for opportunities
to enhance business in various sectors. It provides a
platform for networking between the Indian and Overseas
Players. It gives an opportunity to interact with top leaders

The conference will provide a platform for the industries,
