Kakinada, Nellore and Tirupati, three important cities in Andhra Pradesh, were identified to be developed as smart cities by the Union Ministry of urban Development as part of the 100 smart cities by 2022 in India.
Now, in efforts to set the ball rolling in shaping them, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-AP has signed a memorandum of understanding to firm up action. The Municipal Administration and Urban Development departments will take steps in translating the understanding into tangible action over time.
The CII has launched a National Mission on Smart Cities to work closely with the Government to foster thinking on critical issues, undertake advocacy with the Government and policy makers and to help establish best practices in the implementation of pilot projects in the programme.
he CII Mission includes a City could be deemed to be “Smart” if it fulfilled three basic objectives of (i) Creation of adequate employment opportunities, (ii) Enhancement of human productivity through efficient delivery of goods and services, and (iii) Improving the quality of life by enhancing the use of open / public spaces, which would in turn give a boost to citizens recreation, culture, tourism, ecological sustainability, etc
