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.

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.

10. Chennai has a good coastline and has to be protected. Prohibit any development on the east side of the ECR. It has to be maintained as it is naturally will be a buffer against Tsunami, Sea level rise, better breeze reaching the inland etc. Create large aquarium, under sea recreation and tourism facilities through private partnership which will improve the brand Chennai at a global level.

9. Look at the feasibility of using the electricity cable infrastructure for providing broadband and telephone facility to the citizens at a reduced cost. This will increase the revenue for the EB department too.

7. Chennai and surrounding areas are blessed with lots of lakes. But we have forgotten to to maintain them. A special department similar to forest department has to be created which will have the right over the fresh water system and the development of it. 100 meters around every lake can be earmarked as no development zone and parks and recreation facility can be created. Advertisements in these places can generate revenue. All the rain water drainage can be connected to the nearby lakes.

6. While planning for the city it is important to consider the adjacent areas too as they are the place where the growth will be. Hence proper infrastructure Shuld be planned and created for the adjacent areas too in conjunction with the city. Right now once the suburb grows haphazardly we are integrating it to the city and trying to fix the issues.

5. One example on the utility service is in taking the reading of EB by monthly there are lapses and people suffer due to it. If we adopt the technology where by the EB meter reading is automatically done rather than a need for a person to visit each house to take it, will eliminate the human error and also cost of taking these readings.

3. Connected crime monitoring using IT: Create network of cameras all over the public places with centralised monitoring to prevent crimes and respond to emergency. 4. Utility services using IT- Although IT adoption is there, we need to still improve on it for all the utility services to the citizens. A web based service request and tracking and escalation ,mechanism will help citizens and they need not depend on the middle man to get these services

2. Our city street are not so clean and does not look proper due to indiscriminate haphazard development of commercial shops without proper parking, garbage disposal etc. To overcome this create a scheme called special retail zone. Have criteria for shops to be part of this zone like parking space, name display, garbage display facility, access to vehicles withou hindering the traffic on the main road etc. Incentives by tax discounts for private players to create such zones.

1. Bus Rapid Trasist System - Create a BRTS that run entirely on elevated highway exclusive for the public transport. Integrate it with the current transist system and create an umbrella organisation brining in all the systems together. A single ticket should be able to take a person to go to his destination using any system.

STREET LIGHTS Total number of street lights 2,15,000 consumption 19 mw per day 2 lakhs expenditure per day. The National Lighting product information programme has analysed in detail and the summary results are as follows compared to HPS( High Pressure Sodium ) with the LED lights . LED lights  Can save a modest amount of energy  Greater life cycle cost. Hence it is desirable to provide LED lightings in place of HPS.
