Strategies For Advancing Bengaluru As Smart City: a Case Study

Abstract

The concept, origin, development, and history of Smart Cities were studied in conjunction with the backdrop, town, and economic characteristics of Bengaluru. The idea of Smart Cities is a "booming" global phenomenon, with Smart City initiatives being implemented worldwide. After the 2000s, the term "smart" gained popularity in urban policy making to describe the skillful use of information technologies (IT) to improve a city's infrastructure and service functionality and efficacy. With significant contributions from various technologies, including computer science, information technology, remote sensing, and enhanced multimedia, the idea of Smart Cities is a recent one in our country. This project explores the foundation of a Smart City by examining existing relevant parameters, such as electricity, solid waste management systems, water supply, and transportation, in Kondashettihalli and Chikkaballapur areas only due to the vastness of the city and the deciding parameters. Bengaluru's spatial expansion is examined, the shortcomings of the current situation are contrasted with those of a Smart City, and lastly, planning plans and recommendations are provided.
