Chandigarh, December 12:- The Chandigarh Smart City Ltd. has a focus on integrated development of the urban areas by keeping the restoration work of city heritage, making the city vibrant and clean, strengthening the infrastructure, and improving the service delivery. The CSCL has a vision to transform the urban development of the city with better infrastructure and improved digital services.
This was the opening remarks given by Sh. K.K. Yadav, IAS, Commissioner, Municipal Corporation Chandigarh-cum-CEO, Chandigarh Smart City Ltd. during the “Urban Transformation Summit-Chandigarh” held here today in Hotel JW Marriot. The one-day event organised by Elets Technomedia Pvt. Ltd. in association with Municipal Corporation Chandigarh and Chandigarh Smart City Ltd. had interactive sessions designed to put the spotlight on the emerging ideas in urban transformation and the use of information & communication technologies for urban development in the city.
Sh. K.K. Yadav said that Chandigarh is an epitome of urban transformation model and acts as one of the crucial case studies for urban planners and architects across the world. The city founded in the foothills of Shivalik range right after India gained Independence is the first and still one of the best planned cities in the country. He said that the CSCL is currently working on four major projects i.e. water management, waste management, development technology-enabled surveillance system and energy conservation.
He further said that involvement of public is key to making a city “Smart City”. He said that it is the people and their involvement towards their city which makes it smarter. In Chandigarh, the CSCL and MCC take feedback from the people about our projects putting their grievance redressal on topmost priority, giving them timely services with transparency so that there is no allegation of corruption. So, more involvement of the public is the key to which we are working. He said that I hope with support from CSCL we will make this city a Smart City in true sense. We involved citizens to solve the problems and take the decisions for the same in the most creative and constructive way, he added.
