    Climate-resilient development in data-driven smart cities

    As we are not on track to meet the Paris targets of 1.5 degrees C of limiting global warming, it seems increasingly likely that we will need to take systemic approaches to build resilience to the vulnerabilities induced by a changing climate. With 50 percent of the world’s population (80 percent in the developed world), accounting for 75 percent of overall GHG emissions, cities provide a key arena for identifying building climate-resilience. This podcast examines the role that emerging technologies in data-driven smart cities around the world have in building such resilience.

    AI for Water

    AI as a technology can help make the process of water management much easier with the volumes of data that it can make sense of, which in turn helps in building efficient water systems and networks. What is the current state of water contamination of water borne diseases and how the pandemic has spurred this? How do tools like AI and ML help in detecting and preventing water borne diseases? How are AI based local predictions of Water contaminants useful? What is the current state of India in putting AI tools to work? What are the challenges and opportunities that can/ need to be leveraged? Find out in this episode of IET India Smart Cities Podcast series.

    Impact of lakes in building sustainable cities

    The concept of sustainable urban development encompasses an equitable and holistic approach of development of cities and when we talk about holistic development, lakes and water bodies as such form an is an important feature in the landscape. The importance of green infrastructure includes conservation and restoration of lakes, environmental benefits of which can enhance and influence the quality of life and economy of any city. What is actually the significance of lakes in building sustainable cities? What are the various technologies that can be used to safeguard lakes in cities and how could these be included in the Smart Cities Mission? What policies need to be introduced or changed to safeguard lakes and bring about an ecological balance? Find out in this episode of IET India Smart Cities podcast series.

    Geospatial Technologies for Infrastructure Development

    Smart infrastructure is a critical component of the Smart Cities Mission. The right set of tools and technologies are critical to success of large infra projects like geospatial technologies. Geospatial tools play a major role in different types of infrastructure development as most of the decision making at various levels by urban local bodies are dependent on geographical and spatial analysis.  How can geospatial technologies help in design, development and construction of infrastructure projects in our cities? What are the current trends in this space and how do they help? What are some of the examples of adoption of GIS in urban infrastructure projects in India?
