स्मार्ट सिटी के लिए शहर में बिजली के ग्रिड से लेकर सीवर पाइप सब कुछ अच्छे नेटवर्क में हों।सड़कें, कारें और इमारतें हर चीज़ एक एक नेटवर्क से जुड़ी हों।सड़कों और नालों से अतिक्रमण हटे ताकि सड़के खुलि चोड़ी दिखें जिन को हटाया गया है उनका रोज़गार प्रभावित ना हो जिसके लिए उनको नगर निगम की ओर से उपलब्ध जगह में दुकाने दी जानी चाहीए।शहर में बिजली के ग्रिड सेलेकर सीवर पाइप सब कुछ अच्छे नेटवर्क में हों।सड़कें, कारें और इमारतें हर चीज़ एक एक नेटवर्क से जुड़ी हों।भोपाल को स्वच्छ और साफ बनाना चाहिये।

भोपाल शहर मे बहुत सी सुन्दर जगह है जो की पर्याटन को बढ़ावा देता है जिसमे बड़ा तलाब, वी आई पी रोड, और भी बहुत सी जगह है भोपाल को और सुन्दर बनाने की कोशिश मे लगे ताकि अधिक से अधिक पर्याटन को बढ़ावा दिया जायेगा और कुछ स्थान ऐसे भी है जो भोपाल शहर की शोभा बढाते है और भोपाल शहर को सुन्दर बनाते है, इसी तरह भोपाल की खूबसूरती दिखाई देती है । स्मार्ट सिटी के लिए कुछ सुझाव इस प्रकार हैं: -1) प्रदूषण नियंत्रण ।2) सभी सरकारी विभागों में बेहतर सेवाएं प्रदान करें।3. अच्छा कचरा प्रबंधन ।

भोपाल को स्मार्ट सिटी बनाने के लिए हमें सभी ट्रफिक का सभी नियम का सही प्रकार से पालन करना होगा क्योकिं तभी हम दुर्घटना को बचाया जा सकता है। और सड़को में होने वाली गंदगी की और ध्यान देना होगा । जिससे गंदगी न फेले क्योकिं गंदकी जितनी होगी बिमारिया उतनी ही फेल ती जाएगी इसलिए जो औए दिन सड़को पर कचरा फेकते है गंदगी करते है उन पर रोक थाम लगाना होगा। तभी तो हमारा शहर स्मार्ट दिखेगा । साथ ही तंबाकू पर और शराब की दुकानो पर प्रतिबंध लगाना होगा।
