India’s first Smart City-Infosys Mysore Campus

            It takes time to develop a Smart City from scratch. PM Modi has announced the development of 100 Smart Cities in India.

            Greenfield projects are few. The focus is to upgrade existing cities to Smart Cities.

Types of Smart Cities in India can be divided into the major categories:
a)    Greenfield Projects: The size of such projects will vary from 100 acres to 2000+ acres. Strictly speaking these do not fall under the term City. At best these can fall under Smart Enclaves, as all the Greenfield projects are planned within an enclosed area.
b)   Up gradation of existing towns: 

MOUD has recently released a concept paper of the approach for India’s Smart Cities.
      Across India, there are a number of players planning their contribution to the Smart Cities.
      Infosys has taken the first step towards this. Infosys has decided to upgrade their Mysore Campus into the Smart City mode by April 2015.
      Read the full news press release here. The campus will be a demonstrable model as to how a Smart City in India will look like.


      5  main advantages of this demo city:

a)    Immediate scalable.

b)   Minimal investment.

c)    Perfect model for other stakeholders.

d)   Excellent branding tool.

e) The complete suite of a Smart City i.e Energy conversation, Electronic Transactions, Waste Management, Security  etc can be showcased in one model.
