Smart City Mission (SCM)

MISSION OVERVIEW

The Government of India launched the Smart City Mission on 25th June, 2015.

Objective

 To promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its
citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of ‘Smart’ solutions.

Strategy

 Core infrastructure elements in a smart city include adequate water supply, assured
electricity supply, sanitation including solid waste management, efficient urban mobility and
public transport, affordable housing, especially for the poor, robust IT connectivity and
digitalization, good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation,
sustainable environment, safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the
elderly, and health and education.

 City wide IT enabled Smart Solutions to improve governance and public services.
 Develop ‘Areas’ completely through area based development. These will be examples that

can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City, catalyzing the creation of similar
Smart Cities in various parts of the country.

Coverage and Duration

The Mission will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY 2015-16 to FY 2019-20).
The Mission may be continued thereafter in the light of any evaluation to be done by the Ministry
of Urban Development and incorporating the learning into the Mission.

Strategic Components

The strategic components of the Smart City Mission are city improvement (retrofitting), city
renewal (redevelopment) and city extension (Greenfield development) plus a Pan-city initiative
in which Smart Solutions are applied covering large parts of the city. Area-based development
will transform existing areas (retrofit and redevelop), including slums, into better planned human
settlements, thereby improving livability of the whole cities. Development of well-planned and
fully serviced new areas (greenfield) will be encouraged around cities in order to accommodate
the rapidly expanding population in urban areas. Application of Smart Solutions will enable cities
to use technology to improve infrastructure and services.

Financing Strategy
The Mission is operated as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with a proposed Central financial
support of Rs. 48,000 crore over five years i.e. on an average Rs 100 crore per city per year. An
equal matching amount, will be contributed by the State/ULBs, and thus nearly Rs. 1,00,000 crore
of funds will be available from governmental sources for Smart City development. The Smart City
Proposals (SCPs) anticipate a much higher order of investments needed, and towards this end,
have included a robust Financial Operating Plan for leveraging Government grants and
supplementing them through internal and external sources.
Citizen Engagement

 Extensive citizen consultations have formed the backbone for development of the SCPs, and
a rigorous engagement process was built-in at various levels.

 In order to streamline and systemize citizen consultation, MyGov, which is a platform for
citizen engagement, was given an important role. The essay competition – Mere sapno ka
shaher– was also entrusted to MyGov. In all about 2.4 million persons were reported to have
engaged through the MyGov platform.

 Cities have additionally conducted various connect activities and used innovative media such
as posters, painting, logo/ tagline competition; polling, discussions, talks & blogs, newsletters,
FM Radio & Cable/ local TV, nukkad nataks, mobile app-based surveys, etc. Cities have also
used social media like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and Instagram to engage with
stakeholders for sharing, soliciting and analyzing citizen’s views. Involvement of vulnerable
sections of society was given particular and due importance during the engagement process.

Expected Areas of Impact

 De-risking investments through use of SPV structure leading to higher private

investment in public infrastructure

 Improved G2G coordination improving implementation, as paradigm shifts from

departmental to “Whole of Government” approach

 Enhanced fiscal and resource sustainability as focus is on doing ‘more with less’ –

reduction in losses and leakages, higher revenue realization etc. through smart

GOVERNANCE apps

focus on walking and encouraging use of public and green spaces

 Improved safety and security of citizens through pedestrianization, CCTV
monitoring, activation of vibrant public spaces, etc.

 Improved availability of affordable housing especially for the urban poor
 ‘Place making’ approach leading to better integration of local aspirations,

cultures, issues and needs into the planning process

 Use of mobile based applications as an equal access platform to all citizens for
accessing G2C services

 Rejuvenation of ecologically threatened sites such as lakes and riverfronts
 Optimal use of critical resources such as reduction in water losses through smart

meters and reuse of recycled water
 Increased patronage for walking/ cycling and reduction in long distance travel

through good urban form resulting in lower air and noise pollution

Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT)

Objectives

 Ensuring access to tap with assured supply of water and sewerage connection to every
household.

 Increase amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces.
 Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized

transport.

Thrust Areas

i. Water supply
ii. Sewerage facilities & septage management
iii. Storm Water Drainage
iv. Urban Transport with specific focus on pedestrian, non-motorized and public transport

facilities
v. Creation and upgradation of green spaces.

Universal coverage of water supply and sewerage, which is national priority, is the first focus
under the Mission.

Empowering States

 AMRUT promotes cooperative federalism by making States equal partners in planning and
implementation of projects. The Centre approves the State Annual Action Plan and thereafter
the States develop, appraise, approve, award and execute the projects.

Incentivizing Reforms

 The Mission aims at accomplishment of a set of reforms to improve delivery of citizen
services, reduce cost of delivery, improve financial health of the cities, do city planning and
ensure transparency.

 The Mission incentivizes accomplishment of reforms by setting aside 10% of annual budget
to be given as incentive to the States/UTs for accomplishing the reforms within specified
timelines.

Unique Planning

 The Mission has mandated unique planning process whereby the cities assess the service
levels in the Mission sectors, list out the ways to fill the gap, choose the best and prioritize.
Thus the outcome of the projects can be linked with the improvement in service levels.

Progress 2015-16

 The National Mission Directorate approved the State Annual Action Plans (SAAP) for 2015-16
of all the 36 States and UTs. The SAAPs have planned to invest about 64% of total funding in
water supply sector, 30% in sewerage sector and balance in urban greens, storm water
drainage and urban transport, which is in line with the national priorities.

Urban Development

Ease of Doing Business

 The objective of Ease of Doing Business is to integrate building plan approvals among the
external agencies and local bodies of Mumbai and NCT Delhi. Any building proponent shall
submit building plans only at ULB on online mode and has to pay the charges only once.
Common Application Form has been devised by ULBs of Delhi and Mumbai and building
proponent (applicant) does not have to apply to various agencies. All the external Agencies
like Airport Authority of India, National Monument Authority, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation,
Ministry of Environment, Service, Delhi Urban Art Commission, Ministry of Railways, Ministry
of Defense and other agencies like Delhi Fire Service, Labour Department, Commissioner of
Industries, Department of Forests need to give online clearances and communicate to ULBs.
The Municipal Corporations and ULBs have already achieved integration with the external
agencies. Color Coded maps have been prepared by NMA, AAI, DMRC, DUAC for the ease of
applicant who can verify whether his property lies within the regulated area or outside it.

Model Building Bye Laws,2016

 The Model Building Bye Laws, 2016 were released by Minister for Urban Development and
Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation on 18th March, 2016. The Building Bye-Laws are tools
used to regulate coverage, height, building bulk, and architectural design and construction
aspects of buildings so as to achieve orderly development of an area. They are mandatory in
nature and serve to protect buildings against fire, earthquake, noise, structural failures and
other hazards. In India, there are still many small and medium sized towns which do not have
building bye-laws and in the absence of any regulatory mechanism, such towns are
confronted with excessive coverage, encroachment and haphazard development resulting in
chaotic conditions, inconvenience for the users, and disregard for building aesthetics, etc. It
is in this context, Ministry of Urban Development (TCPO) has made an effort to prepare
“Model Building Bye-Laws” 2016 for the guidance of the State Governments, Urban Local
Bodies, Urban Development Authorities, etc. which are an improvement over the previous
Model Building Bye Laws brought out in 2004.

The salient features of MBBL (2016) are given as under

 Structural Safety and security: Separate Chapter included for Structural Safety, Disaster
management as per Prof. Arya Committee Report and BIS Codes including Structural Design
Basis Report (SDBR) for various building types. Prevention measures against “Soft Storeys”

in multi-storeyed buildings and Proof Checking of Structural Design for Buildings has been
incorporated.
 Barrier Free Environment: Provisions for Differently abled, Elderly and Children including Site
development, Access Path/ Walk Way, Parking, Building requirements, Stair, Lifts, Toilets,
Drinking Water, Refuge and signage.
 Environmental Concerns: Concerns addressed by incorporating Green Buildings norms,
Rainwater Harvesting, Wastewater Reuse and Recycle and installation of Solar Roof Top PV
norms.
 Adoption for Modern Construction Technology: Definitions, Structural Safety and other
provisions for Highrise Building regulations with Parking, Peripheral Open Spaces including
set-backs. Disaster Management & Fire Safety.
 Technology Tools for Governance: Online submission of Building proposal, adopting
automated systems of plan scrutiny, generation of reports/approvals and Timely and
integrated systems of public intimation of approval. Compliance report from drawings for
automatic generation of Completion certificate.
 Swachh Bharat Mission: Revised norms for adequate toilet facilities for women and Public
Conveniences in Public Buildings and Mandatory Provisions for Segregated toilet facilities for
visitors in Public Buildings.
 Ease of Doing Business: Provision for Online Building plan approval process with integration
of various clearances at Master Plan levels and introduction of Integrating “Single Window”
process, Empowering Architects, Outsourcing non-discretionary verification jobs and
formulation of Citizen’s Charter.
 Rain Water Harvesting (RWH): Indicative Provisions for Various types of Buildings along with
responsibility of ULBs for RWH in public spaces, provisions for Enforcement and Monitoring.
 Effects of Communication Technology: Draft Guidelines for mitigation of Electro Magnetic
Radiations in built spaces by identifying emission appliances/ sources. Guidelines for spacing
of indoor and outdoor appliances and equipment.

It is hoped that the document will be useful for State Governments, Urban Local Bodies,
Development Authorities, State Town Planning Departments and other Planning Agencies in
various parts of the country in revising their respective Building Bye Laws.
