Guwahati is one of the fastest developing cities and a major center to Eastern India spread over 264 sq km and connected with north-eastern states of Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. It has developed road (NH 31, 37, 40), broad-gauge railway and air connectivity (domestic/international) with the rest of the country and South East Asian countries. The City’s strategic location, connectivity and economic opportunities have fuelled the process of urbanization to make it the largest and the most important city in the northeast region.

Mainly automatic traffic system should be used in every road. Traffic rules should be very strict..i.e. no one dare to break it..no over track by left side, parking at no parking area. There should be CCTV on road at a regular distance. Underground parking place and multilevel parking space should be constructed at the busy area. Public transport should be better. No artificial flood. Above all our Guwahati must be remain neat and clean

Our city can consider the examples of following cities worldwide while planning for a smarter city. 1. Beijing, China- Well a lot can be learnt from our nearest neighbours. Urban and interurban traffic control system: traffic signals, HD enforcement system, supervision and monitoring system for highways, CCTV, traffic flow detection, weather detection and guidance system, integration in 10 control centers. 2. Tianjin, China- GIS for upgrading of power grid towards Smart Grid.

Our city suffers from huge traffic congestion during evening hours. One of the reason is due to road side parkings which leave only half of our roads for plying of vehicles. I would like to suggest that the premises of city schools be used as parking premises after 4pm till 10pm, because huge plots of the government as well as private schools are left unused after 4pm as the school activities are over by then. This will reduce the cost of building any new multipurpose parking buildings.
