The roadmap for making Lucknow a smart city was unveiled on Monday. It will focus on three key areas - retro-fitting, redevelopment and Greenfield development. In addition it includes a Pan-city initiative under which bigger problems affecting the city will be addressed.
An area of 500 acres or more would be chosen under retrofitting. The issues to be addressed would be identified after seeking residents' opinions and a survey by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, the agency overseeing the smart city project.
Under the redevelopment plan, LMC would provide better civic amenities in areas spread over 50 acres. Under the Greenfield development, tree plantation and beautification drives would be carried out in areas spread over 250 acres to turn them into green zones.
The Pan-city initiative will focus on areas like e-governance set up, better citizen services, water and energy management, smart parkings, integrated traffic management and systematic public conveyance.
Municipal commissioner Uday Raj Singh said citizen engagement will remain the core of smart city project. "We will take issues and areas according to public opinion. People can send in their ideas directly on MyGov.in or through their ward corporator," he said.
