I feel first the basic eminities - Effective Traffic Mgt and parking arrangement,proper waste disposal and drainage system should be made available to the public before embarking on the Smart City Mission. Also green cover should not be lost due to unlimited and unorganised construction going on these days. We are growing city and we can learn a lot from other cities to avoid some of these above mentioned issues before it gets too late. These should be included as part of this project delivery.

देहरादून को स्मार्ट सिटी बनाने के लिए उत्तराखण्ड सरकार एवं दूनवासियों के प्रयास की सराहना की जाती है मैं देहरादून में विगत 15 वर्षों से रह रहा हूं और दून को स्मार्ट सिटी बनाने के लिए यही सुझाव देना चाहता हूं कि सर्वप्रथम देहरादून की ट्रैफिक व्यवस्था, दुकानों का सड़क पर अतिक्रमण पर लगाम, जलनिकासी व्यवस्था एवं कूड़ा करकट का प्रबन्धन होना आवश्यक है साथ ही शहर से सटे झुग्गी झोपड़ियों में रहने वाले लोगों का पुनर्वास अथवा उनमें सफाई के प्रति जागरूकता लाना आवश्यक है

Dehradun is our city, we should first clean our city and then proceed to make it a smart city.

The Growing Temperature, Reduced Rains and related climate change are a serious thing to worry about! We should prevent this City from becoming a Hot-Air-Baloon like Noida and NCR. There are several factors that are affecting the climate here - increasing number of vehicles and the traffic snarls (do we need an ODD/EVEN system like Delhi :)), Diesel run autos, Cutting down of green forests, high use of Plastic and growing high rise in the Reality Sector, etc... Lets save our Climate!

There is no idea in spoiling the green cover existing in the form of Tea garden.Already there has been lots of tree felling in developing Dehradun as capital and so called temporary capital.Let all modern facilities be developed in existing Doon by increasing greencover,improving transportation, pedestrian paths free of encroachment,shift main offices like Vidhan Sabha,sachivalaya etc from main city to satelite towns near by let Doon regain its old beauty for which it was known.

Dehradun and its people are already SMART and LOVING, thanks to the social and cultural living style of this beatutiful city. To make this city SMARTER, the Dun Smart City project sounds promising but to make this project a success, we first need to work on the BASICS - Climate Change Control, Pure Drinking Water, Better Road and Transport, Better Job Creation, Crime Control, Better Civic Sense, to name a few... When we have a strong BASE, we can build a SMARTER CITY on top of it :)

I think that before working on smart city project, we should work on how to make people smart. People should have smart and good thinking. If we made the city smart do you think that will be that smart. If you think yes it will but my question is how? Who will take care of it? City is enough smart but we have to think over how to change the mind set of the people. Today well qualified people don't have manner for driving, spitting, talking, calling,living and most important thinking.

We all have seen the result of public interferance in chakrata road widening.Already 4 years have been past but still that road looks like HANGING GARDEN OF BABYLON.So its our duty to support govt. for this project otherwise we all will loose a brilliant opputunity to build our city as a smart city.

what does "Redevelopment of Area of citizen’s priority" mean

i think in shimlabypass it is good to create a new well plan city,with the help of this we can manage the design of city as a smart city should be. we can arrange the city as chandigarh's city plan which is very effective in design and traffic control. the sewers line will be provided in this so that we can control the wastage. industries should be in a particular area so that gov. could arrange the wastage which comes from them and by this we can maintain a city pollution free and green.
