Your views, opinion and solutions on urban issues faced by Chennai would not only support a better tomorrow for Chennaites, it will also make Chennai a strong contender for getting shortlisted as one of the first 20 cities in India to implement Smart City Solutions in Phase 1.

Chennai citizen and community is its biggest strength. Let’s participate to make this proposal inclusive and meaningful for every common man, every citizen.

The “smart” in “smart city” is more than just a simple adjective. It refers to an intelligent and attractive approach to building sustainable cities that combines infrastructure, technology, and local community involvement with a vision based on local conditions, capabilities, and resources.

In many countries, indoor pollution from poorly combusted solid fuels (e.g., biomass, coal, kerosene) combined with poor ventilation is a significant contributor to illness and premature death.

The greening of high-rise buildings through constructing “vertical forests in the sky” or green skyscrapers has now become as fashionable in Malaysia as in Italy. Similarly, green buildings have now become popular in both the Philippines and Viet Nam, the latter’s tube houses of traditional design now having gone green.

While this will not solve issues of congestion and commuting, it will at least help to clear the skies and will usher in a new era of technological innovation with massive and still-unforeseeable implications. It is time that obsolete carbon-intensive forms of mobility be replaced with energy-efficient vehicles that use renewable energy sources.

Since the car is still the dominant mode of private transport, much hope is directed at innovations that will come from the industry. Hopefully, within a few years, polluting carbon-intensive cars will be replaced with better and cleaner technologies. The arrival of electric cars seems imminent, and their supposed success is expected to initiate a new era of clean private transport.

These schemes are still the vanguard of modern transport and represent a modest level of investment in comparison with the more capital-intensive underground metro systems of Beijing, Hong Kong, Kolkata, Nanjing, New Delhi, and Singapore, to name a few, or the mass rapid transport lines in Metro Manila.

The bus rapid transit (BRT) systems of Bogota, Curitiba, and Quito have been imitated in Asian cities, such as in Ahmedabad, Guangzhou, Istanbul, and Jakarta, with more cities working on their own versions of the BRT.

Singapore is an example of a city that has invested heavily in public transport, while making access to the city center by car more difficult and costly through its digitally monitored congestion charge. However, for many cities, it is investment in green public transport infrastructure that is being called for.

There have been many calls for alternatives to the heavily car-based transport modes, including calls for a limitation of car ownership and car movement.
