We are in the exploratory stage to develop a modern Ideal City concept for India. Prime Minister Narenda Modi has put forward a visionary idea allocating USD1.2B to create 100 Smart Cities and to develop satellite towns around existing cities in India. These cities will be conceptualised with the integration of information technology, telecommunications, urban planning, smart infrastructure and operations in an environment geared to maximise the quality of life for a city’s population while reflecting Indian culture. This massive migration to urban areas will be the defining feature of the Indian economy in the coming decade. Smart cities need multidimensional, integrative thinking, and will not happen organically....Without any state level intervention, existing cities will become unliveable and chaotic, given the scale of the migration expected. Consequently, new cities have to be set up – many around existing urban areas as satellite towns. (Forbes)

WEBSITES Smart Cities India 2015 Smart America Challenge (A project ran from the White House with the goal to bring together research in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to create tangible and measurable benefits to the US economy and its citizens. Cyber-Physical Systems is a name for the combination of the Internet of Things and System Control. So rather than just being able to “sense” where something is, CPS adds the capability to control the “thing” or allow it to interact with physical world around it.)
