The city of Ahmedabad had been selected in the list of 100 cities under the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India’s Smart City Mission launched in June, 2015. The city is now required to prepare a Smart City Proposal to participate in the next stage of the smart city challenge. In the next stage, top cities will be shortlisted to receive funding under the smart city program based on their smart city proposal.

Citizen contribution is core to the formulation of smart city proposal. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) seeks active citizen consultation in the formulation of a smart city vision, mission and plan for Ahmedabad. Citizens are encouraged to participate in the process of making a smarter Ahmedabad by sharing their views and aspirations from a Smart City. These would include opinions and comments on the current status of the city as well as suggestions on potential service improvements and citizen expectations.

To this effect, AMC plans to undertake multiple rounds of citizen engagement during the preparation of its smart city proposal. Based on citizen inputs and feedback, AMC would devise the area-based and pan-city initiatives to be incorporated in the proposal.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation invites the citizens of Ahmedabad to share their valuable feedback and comments in helping to make Ahmedabad a Smart city.

Kindly, post your views and ideas till 30th November, 2015.

Ahmedabad will not become smart by provision of only technology and development, there needs to be a drive to increase awareness and gain support from citizens. There some responsibilities of we citizens also to make things work. Ahmedabad can use the advantage of having high student population in important aspects of cleanliness, street design, allocation of activities and etc. Perhaps, some program to inculcate students in such programmes will help.

The point I am trying to make is that Ahmedabad should be developed in its local context. Context that benefits both who can afford and those who can't. Continuing the previous example, cycling lane provision is a good thing, but there is no policy to encourage cycling, to support use of NMVs. Even if tracks had to be provided, there should be such a track that tempts users to use it (shaded/covered/parking space,etc.). Need of an integrated transport system..2/2

Ahmedabad is very much ahead in terms of planning and developments if compared to bigger cities of India. But the problem lies is that the authorities want to replicate ideas of modern planning. Fro example: Providing cycling lanes (if seen near IIM-A road). It is provided because it forms one of the elements of street design. But the ground reality is, not one uses it because of hot weather conditions. on top of that, it used as a parking space for big vehicles... 1/2

Roads in certain areas in Ahmedabad are in a very bad condition especially vejalpur, the roads are being dug for past 3 months and not yet repaired. As it is the road is narrow and one track is dug, due to this every day we face heavy traffic in the area. The entire route right from Vejalpur Police Chowki to SHrinandnagar part 3 and juhapura is entirely dug which needs immediate attention
