Smart City Essentials: Gap Between Concept, Infrastructure And Approach
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Everyone dreams of a beautiful house, comfortable conveyance and a useful workspace. In between and around comes the remaining infrastructure. Though essential, it is still secondary on the minds of people. The primary concern of every working individual is to have these three essentials. While all these are to be fulfilled by him or his employer, it is the responsibility of government to provide, maintain and upgrade the required infrastructure with time. The government is also entrusted to educate and make people (users) aware of standard methods of using these utilities, to make them last longer and in aesthetically useful condition. The modern cities of India are reeling under multiple problems due to tremendous migration. A heterogeneous mix of urban population poses cultural and economic difference in life style and behavior. A serious concern among others is providing a safe, contemporary and cost effective solution to all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, which are two significant mode of green travelling in urban places. Many countries greatly promote these modes of urban travel yet in India it is still perceived as financially deprived man’s compulsion. It is important to make legal provisions and technical specifications to facilitate users to go for green and healthier transport which also needs paradigm shift of masses. With mass transport system being the order of day, feeder transport like cycles have potential to serve the purpose in perfectly effective manner. The aspects of urban green transport are discussed in present study in context of Rajkot city of Gujarat, India.
