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)
