The citizens of Raipur, Hon Mayor and the Raipur Smart City team presents the revised smart city proposal under the fast track submission of Smart Cities Challenge, Ministry of Urban Development. More Raipur is based on the foundation of our 4Cs: Clean, Connected, Cohesive and Credible #MoreRaipur #SmartCityFastTrackRaipur

A) Raipur City Branding: Raipur city has launched it smart city identity through all the stakeholders consultation. The identity will be branded “More Raipur” in English or ” मोररायपुर” in Chattisgarhi. More Raipur means ‘My Raipur’ in Chhattisgarhi. The term मोररायपुर personalizes the identity for each of its citizens and giving them an emotional connection to the city. “More Raipur” in English also symbolizes the city making the most of its natural, social and economic potential. It shows the importance of Raipur as a hub and beacon in the network connecting various cities of Chhattisgarh and rest of India.

B) The New Paradigm places the Citizen, City and Business at the core, to effectively create Raipur Fast Track Proposal

i.    More Networked Green & Open Spaces
ii.    More Aesthetics
iii.    More Networked Markets
iv.    More Liveable
v.    More Networked Mobility
vi.    More  Sustainability
Our new area based development proposal for More Raipur City Central (MRCC) will be a place with green spaces, breathing spaces, pollution free spaces and aesthetic improvement.

1.    More Networked Green & Open Spaces: MRCC as a green space with city Green’s within MRCC converted to a place making urban space and linked with green strip along roads.

2.    More Aesthetics: Common branding City as a Brand leads to a strengthened city Identity and citizen buy-In with standardisation of the city Logo and the way the city is written (font).Aesthetic improvement: regulation of signages (in size, color, etc), shop numbers, owner name, etc.

3.    More Markets: Specialized Markets: Common space for common commodities. Strengthening of these specialized markets. Technology layer as well as skill upgradation center. The MRCC will work 24×7 and would be serviced at night.Co-existing space for people and vehicles. 20% to 30% increase in usable space.Standardization of the signage (Thematic Markets) – street wise or market wise.
4.    More Livable : We have provided women friendly and PWD friendly public toilets in every 300-400m (propose almost 100 toilets) in proposed markets and parking lots.MRCC would have network of interchange points for garbage. Integrated decentralized solid waste management plan across the city. Road, sewerage, electrification would be done by integrated implementation strategy.
5.    More Mobility: Unified city citizen experience Smart City Card which works for a series of services. Multimodal Transport experience. Array of sensors for multiple service integration.Integrated water and Air pollution sensors for a complete picture of pollution level. SCADA and smart metering for better management of water and power services.Unified city billing for a better customer experience.Command and control center for city management.City surveillance network for MRCC area.

6.    More Sustainability: E-rickshaw charging station will be provided to reduce carbon foot print of area.Water (purifier) ATM facility would be placed in every 500 meter in MRCC area. Bus stops and Public Convenience in this area will be Operated on solar and Bio–waste hybrid system.Public buildings in the MRCC area would be renewable powered.City greens to have small STP for localised waste water management working towards a NET ZERO space.
C) Other Key Smart City Features:

1) Pollution Control measures: Pollution Measurement through the ICT network and utilizing the open spaces across city for greenery creation and ensuring that the dust in the open spaces settles down because of thick layer of grass. SWM below public parking levels (generally below the basement).

2) Multi Utility Buildings at various intervals (walkability: 10 mins/ 500m)Hub and Spoke model for parking lots and co-existence of market spaces. Ground level: Walking & vendors/ market: Urban open space, Level-1: for cycles, two wheelers & e-rickshaw charging station, Level-2: for cars & tempos etc.Example: Old Ganj Mandi project: Parking+ Commercial, Informal vendor space. Public toilets: Women friendly & disabled friendly (convergence with SBM: 60,000 Rs per seat). Making the area pedestrian friendly by proposing connected green strips, hurdle-free walkways, common streets, provision of common services. Every 400-500 m would have common services like toilets, parks and parking lots. This will promote walkability and thus will reduce carbon footprint of the city.

3) PAN City Proposal Business command center backed up by Intelligent city management with Sensor network throughout the city for air pollution levels, water meter, power meter, traffic lights, parking lots, signages, waste management etc communicating through a common network.City wallet plus Common card for payment across all services provided: transport, travel, utilities, WiFi, parking.Intelligent transportation & traffic management: Co-ordination of multi-modal transport.
