For Smart City Projects It Requires Bigger Contribution From The Architects

Property demand might wave under the flagship of the smart city project. But, execute this mammoth project; it requires well-skilled architects in bulk. Presently, the country needs creative and ambitious input from the best architects of the cities. Recently a seminar held in the capital on ‘Redefining Indian Sustainable Smart Cities’, which was attended by noted architects and market experts. Architects don’t only have major roles in planning the entire project, but they will also make sure the plan is full-proof to take away future issues. The seminar was organized by Outokumpu India, a Finland-based Stainless steel giant.

Government has selected 100 cities for ‘100 smart city mission’ for this massive project. A sincere execution of this project can boom the entire real estate market. Smart city projects are having all the technical and engineering support, but architects are missing from the upcoming projects in the country, which is major concern of the market players at present. Speaking of smart cities, Kolkata got to know about the smart city concept with the inception of the flats in Rajarhat.

Architects have a significant role in forming the model of the smart cities, keeping in mind major bullets such as increasing population and abrupt changes in climatic condition. For solving these potential threats, the Council of Architecture (COA) is setting up five research training institutes (architectural colleges) in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Bhopal, and Bhubaneshwar. These advanced colleges will be having model making labs and climate labs, for catering better knowledge in architectural studies. Presently, 90% of architectural colleges don’t have this kind of lab facility, as it’s a costly affair.


A model smart city should be having basic infrastructure like- clean water supply, proper sanitation system, urban transport connectivity and digitally sound public security with long-lasting effect. Stainless steel would be the preferred material for building construction and durability within budget. Using high-quality stainless steel will bring down the future maintenance cost. Not just high-quality buildings and aesthetics smart city project is aiming to groom the poverty level, employment sector, greeneries, social amenities and related services for maintenance.
