May I expect these in a Smart City?

Government of India, in fact NaMoJi is very particular about smart cities. He has declared that 100 existing cities would be converted in to smart cities in India. For this purpose G of I and concerned state government shall provide Rs. 1000 crores (Probably this money may be per annum). Rest of the expenditure is from the resources of the city concerned. After spending huge money may I expect the smart city would be having following facilities?

1.      There is a problem of people coming to city to earn livelihood. These people initially stay on footpath and then find some vacant place and construct shacks as residential arrangement. Would this smart city have a solution for this? Would there be temporary sheds to accommodate job seekers and then find them permanent accommodation?

2.      Those who are staying in shacks (JJ colonies) need permanent houses. Would they get such houses at the rate construction cost at nearest location?

3.      Would working place and residence be within walking distance in such a city?

4.      Would administration reach citizens rather than citizens finding administration and spending money to make administration work?

5.      Would corruption become history?

6.      Would police be effective that no new crimes would be committed?

7.      Would government would be effective so citizens shall follow rules?

8.      Would footpaths be constructed suitable to pedestrians only?

9.      Would gates of plots stop opening on footpaths?

10.  Would it stop constructing ramps on footpaths vehicles entering/leaving plots?

11.  Would hawker and homeless get reasonable accommodation and stop residing on footpaths?

12.  Would town planning department understand practical needs and make rules to suit practical needs and avoid technical problems?

13.  Would a floor be available for every 3 floors in multi floor residential buildings which shall not be considered while estimating fsi to compare with authorised fsi for using this space for benefits of citizens and for following purpose? For accommodating senior citizens having close relation with flat holders, providing preliminary health facility, for small business of repair of home appliances, providing residential accommodation for persons from JJ colony at construction cost and for similar use?

14.  Would citizens be trained to make fertilizer from organic waste and other waste sorted to separate metals from polythene waste? Would metal and polythene waste be collected by the municipality and properly disposed off to raise funds for waste management?

15.  Would citizens be protected from all types of pollution?

16.  Would adequate play grounds be available to children?

17.  Would every school achieve the best possible standard of education?

18.  Would school be so close to residence that small children could walk to school?

19.  Would medical care available at affordable price to every citizen in city and around?

20.  Would Municipality take all precautions to ensure citizens don’t fall sick?

21.  Would government make laws which could be adhered to by the citizens?

22.  Would there be arrangement to prevent breaking of law rather than catching someone and proving that the person is guilty?

23.  Would culprits irrespective whether connected with politicians shall be afraid of police?

24.  Would police be a friend to a common man?

25.  Would there be enough places all over the city for parking of vehicles?

26.  Would government offices remain open on holidays for general work related to a common man?

27.  Would roads and especially road crossings be planned for traffic discipline?

28.  Would hawkers find a safe place around road crossings?

29.  Would lane arrangement be available for vehicles approaching a crossing so that choosing correct lane only would take the driver of a vehicle in right direction?
30. Would bus stops be constructed under over bridge to provide enough space for other ammenities? https://janahitwadiblog.wordpress.com/

31.  This list is very long and can’t be accommodated in a small article like this.

Basic question is mind of the government is changing and funds needed for work shall not be provided by the central government in full. Hence, whether the scheme would be implemented or not is not clear so far. None can tell about real execution of the scheme. There appears to be every possibility that what common man expects may not be executed through this and more stress would be on show rather than convenience. Further by concentrating eggs in a small place we are getting vulnerable for attack(s) from our enemy. It is up to politicians to study financial position and take suitable action.
