Smart Cities Mission is a pan-city initiative to develop the Indian cities with the aim to implement at least one smart solution citywide. The Indian government launched a mission in 2015 called Smart Cities Mission to meet the objectives defined above. 100 cities were selected to be funded for implementing their smart city plans (SCPs).
Smart cities are essentially green cities. Their aim should be to develop smart and green solutions, to incorporate sustainable economic growth with minimum impact on the environment. The city should promote renewable energy, efficient use of resources, waste reduction, and contributing steps to lessen climate change.
One of the main missions of providing a sustainable environment for smart cities is monitoring and controlling the city pollution. This means reducing the current levels of pollution and implementing measures to control future pollution generation. The former target is achieved by deploying a network of efficient pollution monitoring devices across the city which can analyze all the critical ambient air pollutants. This can be accomplished by continuously monitoring these cities using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to minimize the environmental impact and maximize efficiency. Currently, out of 5000 cities in India, only 24 are performing real-time ambient air quality monitoring.
Smart ways like encouraging public commutes, manufacturing fuel-efficient vehicles, energy-saving appliances, environment-friendly products, and more stringent industrial and transportation regulations for pollution controls are being deployed to prevent pollution generation and reduce carbon footprint.
