Smart Concrete for Smart Cities
03rd Jan 2019 Indian ConstructionFor nearly over 2 years India has heard about Smart cities. The talk has been about creating Smart cities across the nation, the definition of these is simple “city improvement (retrofitting), city renewal (redevelopment) and city extension (greenfield development) plus a Pan-city initiative in which Smart Solutions are applied covering larger parts of the city.”*
A handful of smart cities will be set up as examples for the rest of the nation. These smart cities need smart solutions start from the very beginning. They need smart solutions from the foundation. May it be redevelopment, retrofitting or city extension every part of the smart city planning includes development. “The purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people by enabling local area development and harnessing technology, especially technology that leads to Smart outcomes.”#
Comprehensive development in this way will improve quality of life, create employment and enhance incomes for all, especially the disadvantaged, leading to inclusive Cities. Smart cities are based on the core idea of good foundation and intelligent design and execution. This design and execution will require durable and smart solutions that are environmentally friendly and can adapt to both new and old development. What is also essential is that it saves on time. These cities need a smart solution. They need Smart Concrete.
