Separate lane for cycling, roller skating and instant help on road during emergency. Life needs some quality and incorporating some of these can make New Town a better place to live in.

I believe there must be some protected area for children, so that they can play in green and enjoy the fun of open space. Smart City should be smart not only technologically but it should give everyone the opportunity to live in a smart way.

After the earthquake and its impact, I believe disaster management is an issue that should be taken care of. Added to that, since New Town is still not that populated, vehicles need to follow strict traffic rules, so that the rate of accidents can be reduced.

Some of the points which you may consider for Smart City. Uninterrupted Clean and Purified Water Supply. More Greenery. Lane Concept in our main road. Removal of Unauthorized Road Side vendor. Regular Cleaning of Garbage. Frequent Anti Mosquito Cannon or Anti Mosquito Oil Spay to prevent Malaria / Dengue. Permanent removal of Cows,Horses and Street Dogs from Road (to prevent Accident & to make the city Clean) Govt Sponsored Higher Secondary School. Govt Hospital is essential

A smart city can only work with a good waste management system. I hope the management takes into consideration this particular aspect. This is my only recommendation to keep my city clean and pollution free.

For me, an eco-friendly environment is important. I also wish for a good sewage system, a working waste disposal and also a smooth traffic control. Wish all these will be taken into consideration.
