13. II-13 Smart Planning (3) – What kind of city

14. Smart planning (4)  Compact cities  Focus on public transport and NMT – not cars and motor bikes  Pay for free parking  Pay for road use  No cheap fuel  Mass transit – not elevated highways and flyovers  Seoul demolished an elevated highway and 46 flyovers in the city  Optimal utilization of available resources – not just adding capacity

15. Smart planning (5)  Financial sustainability  Fares are not the only source of finance for public transport  Make all beneficiaries pay, not just users  Invest sensibly - Don’t over-invest or under invest  Building a BRT where the demand is 60,000 persons for hour or a metro where it is 3000 persons per hour does not make financial sense

17. Smart planning (6)  Environmental sustainability:  Reduce emission of GHG  Reduce emission of local pollutants

18. Smart planning (7)  Social sustainability  Inclusive – available equally to all – women, aged, children, physically challenged, rich, poor  Building elevated highways or flyovers primarily provide for those who can afford or are allowed to drive personal motor vehicles

19. ICT for what  General belief that use of ICT makes things smart  However, ICT has to be used as a tool for optimal utilization of a resource – not an end in itself  Be sure what you want it for – don’t deploy without such an understanding

20. A city is smart if it uses its resources efficiently and reduces waste – not by investing more only to continue its waste
