PM Narendra Modi’s Smart Cities initiative: Governance first
Quote:
For example, last week’s incessant rains in Mumbai almost choked and paralysed the city. Flooding of Indian cities with the arrival of the first shower is a common phenomenon and it has got more to do with the governance (maintenance of civic infrastructure and preparedness of civic authorities) than with the physical infrastructure itself.

Operations and maintenance:
Issues: City services such as water, energy, transportation are delivered by different entities and there is minimal collaboration during planning and maintenance which leads to duplication of efforts. While maintenance is mostly reactive than preventive, on most occasions service providers are not held accountable for low-service performance. Also, since different departments have different set of staff there is little synergy and higIndian officials want 100 ‘smart cities.’ Residents just want water and powerh cost

ICT-GT enablers: The report states that for smart governance, cities must have integrated command and operation centres that will not only enable better management of services but will also lead to integration of operations across various departments leading to optimisation of cost and efficiency. It helps monitor city services on a real-time basis and therefore improve on synchronising maintenance activities. Use of business process re-engineering and automation will help improve efficiency and reduce turnaround time. Also use of predictive analytics will help understand equipment performance and maintenance requirements.
