Corporation of Chennai is preparing a proposal towards Smart City Challenge which would include city wide smart urban solutions as well as identification of areas within the city for its implementation.

The proposal would be defined primarily based on voice of Chennai residents. An extensive citizen engagement programme is established by Corporation of Chennai to document the views and concernsfor the same.

Residents may post their opinion and ideas on civic services such as transport, parking, water supply, sanitation, energy, housing, IT solutions,health, education, safety and security. 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 last date to submit your comments is 15th November, 2015.

A shift from conventional to renewable energy sources may result in new forms of employment in decentralized power generation, such as installation and servicing of facilities.

Empirical evidence suggests that economic clusters, or agglomeration effects, are labor-intensive and offer many employment opportunities. Green urban agriculture may involve the reuse of wastewater and composted solid waste, the preservation of biodiversity and wetlands, and the productive use of green areas and belts. Transport-related employment, typically in decentralized small-scale systems, could provide many employment opportunities.

can create jobs in various sectors, including urban and peri-urban agriculture, public transport, renewable energy, waste management and recycling, and green construction.

Infrastructure costs can likewise be lowered substantially as densities rise. Thus, higher-density cities allow increased productivity and innovation at lower costs and reduced environmental impact.

Design strategies and technologies exist to improve the construction of buildings, the efficiency of urban transport, as well as the manner in which energy is generated, water and other services are supplied, and waste is managed. Such changes would reduce the rate at which energy and natural resources are consumed. Because of the higher population densities of green cities, energy-efficiency gains are possible from the proximity of activities.

Sustainable urban lifestyles can thus be created through effective urban planning and management, and lifestyle changes based on more efficient individual consumption patterns.

More efficient use of energy leads to lower levels of energy demand and hence carbon emissions. The spatial structure of cities can facilitate the use of green grid-based energy systems, such as combined heat and power generation, micro-generation of electricity through solar or wind generation technologies, as well as rainwater harvesting and efficient waste management. Thus, higher-density cities combine the benefits of increased productivity, innovation at lower costs, and reduced environment

Relatively higher population densities are a central feature of green cities. This implies gains in energy efficiency, as well as innovation through the proximity of activities. Similarly, per-household infrastructure costs can be lowered substantially as population densities rise. More compact cities can reduce travel distances, and heating and cooling requirements, while application of green transport modalities can reduce energy consumption.

Urban form, size, density, and configuration can be planned and managed to limit resource consumption and hence carbon emissions. Existing design strategies and technologies can improve the efficiency of building construction, urban transport, energy generation, water supply, and waste management systems so that they use less energy and natural resources.

Compact and densely populated cities with mixed land use will be the basis for a more resource-efficient settlement pattern with high levels of economic output.
