Urban Mobility and Smart Cities: Reimagining Public Spaces
Urban mobility and smart city initiatives have become fundamental to modern design and urban planning due to the digital age.
Urban mobility and smart city initiatives have become fundamental to modern design and urban planning due to the digital age. Societies are changing spatially, practically, and socially as city spaces become increasingly smart. From self-driving cars and green transportation to pedestrian-centric spaces, architects and urban designers are transforming the concepts of public spaces in a way that fosters the habitability of such places. This article explores architecture and smart technologies, considering such interesting topics as green transportation, autonomous systems, and urbanism. We will also address the challenges encountered and present real-world examples to improve the efficiency of public spaces.
Powering The Smart Cities of Tomorrow: Citywide Compact Power Boxes
In the grand sweep of human civilization, the march toward urbanization is relentless. By mid-century, more than two-thirds of humanity will live in cities, according to United Nations forecasts. These burgeoning urban centers are not just hubs of economic activity and innovation; they are also, increasingly, the laboratories where the future of energy will be forged. Among the most exciting developments in this quest for clean, reliable power are the twin advances of nuclear fission—particularly in the form of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV reactors—and the long-sought promise of fusion energy. Each of these technologies holds the potential to not only reshape our cities but to revolutionize the very concept of what a smart city can be. But one has the edge over the other. Read on.

IN: Dwindling interest in 'smart cities'
‘Smart cities’ concept has been close to heart to both the UPA as well as the NDA. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm seems to be tapering
There is a talk about ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’. Rapid urbanisation is being witnessed and it will only increase as we move towards ‘viksit’ status. The developed world created its infrastructure when there were little constraints on sustainability. But, today’s world has severe constraints in terms of sustainability. Developing India has to rely a lot on ‘smart cities’.
