The stage 2 of the Smart City competition is very crucial as each city’s Smart City Proposal (SCP) is supposed to contain the model chosen, whether retrofitting or redevelopment or greenfield development or a mix thereof, and additionally include Pan-City dimension with Smart Solutions. The Smart City Proposal (SCP) will also outline the consultations held with the city residents and other stakeholders. Also, a vision for the Smart City has to be prepared, and this vision should emerge from the needs, aspirations and wishes of the local people to make their city offering more to live better life.

The biggest driver of the Smart City is the smart citizen. Citizen involvement in Smart Cities is elevated. So, the Smart City Proposal will be Citizen Centric, designated after consultations with residents of the city and through active participation of various groups such as Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs), Tax Payers Associations (TPAs), Senior Citizens and Slum Dwellers Associations (SDAs).

During consultations, various issues such as areas of utmost concern, needs and priorities of citizens and different groups/associations will be identified and people centric solutions will be evolved.

Chandigarh Administration hereby invites the citizens of Chandigarh to share their views on ‘How to make Chandigarh a Smart City’. The campaign aims to increase public participation in Chandigarh Administration’s effort to garner support for the city’s quest for a Smart City tag.

The residents of Chandigarh can also post, share their ideas, views and opinions on ‘Smart Chandigarh’- the official mobile app of U.T., Administration.

I live in the city beautiful and am proud of it. It is THE BEST place to live in India although there are good institutions for study but still we need some good quality education institutes in our city which are up to date with the industry requirements I am in support of Make in India Campaign but Chandigarh should concentrate on Tourism and IT as they will not pollute our City Beautiful

The city doesnt have to be something we need to conserve because of its history but its heritage can be given higher importance by giving appropriate modern day flexible functions. We need to review the old plans critically and see which aspects were ignored and then decide what to do for the future. The original ideas for chandigarh where ahead of its time. WE need to seek inspiration from that.

Completing the capitol complex with the museum of knowledge would get people of all diversity involved in the functioning of the city. Chandigarh also works as the capital of two states but was oonly planned for one. So urban planning is required to cope up with these pressures. The periphery of chandigarhs developement is vital for the future of the main city designed by Le Corbusier.

the key is to first understand the architectural legacy that the city has for the rest of the world. India is tryin to get the city in the world heritage list. So anything we do has to be keeping in mind the architectural history and why dis city was built in the first plce,the vision that defines chandigarh and makes it stand out from all the cities of our country. First of all we should complete the capitol complex with the museum of knowledge. This would bring larger people participation

Dear Sir Smart city in itself seems very wide concept. Smart in governance or smart in utilities. Both are interlinked though. Unless we have smart governance smart city is a distant dream. for example consider people use ground water for all purposes but water is required by variety of things. We can reuse the waste water by treating it and supplying it back through tanks & pumping stations for personal & commercial uses.Erecting such requires honest governance and tremendous efforts. in next.

Focusing on the public utilities like > ROADS, Parks, Govt. Offices, Markets etc is important. Make them clean and efficient in operation. Keep the process simple and transparent. Learn from nations who have already achieved this. Develop a culture of the CITY. Don't let it get lost in transition. - Brhamesh Alipuria (BE Electrical and Electronics Engg, Panjab University, CHD, MSc Sustainable Energy Technology, TU Delft, Netherlands, CC Cities and Climate Change Leadership, )
