Smart cities is not only using technology to solve problems, but about enabling people to become smart citizens, to make smart decisions. A good PR campaign involving kids would be effective.

Encourage a cycle sharing program. This will have a number of places were people can borrow and return the cycle. Limit the use of cars and other vehicles in this circuit. This includes shopping districts like cross cut road, D.B.Road, and and also in areas like Saravanampatti and Avinashi road. It can also be implemented in ace course road. Safety is important so there needs to be a way to separate the cycle lanes.

In heavily populated Shopping Districts like Crosscut Road and D.B.Road, encourage a low energy transportation system like Rickshaws that keep shuttling back and forth. People can get on and get off at any time. They can buy a universal ticket for lets say Rs.30 per day, and just swipe the card to get on and get off.

Adopt a Sister City. The mission of Sister Cities is to Connect Globally and Thrive Locally. Currently, Some cities in California are looking for a Sister City. It is very similar in Climate and has a lot of Industries. There could be some partnership between the two cities. We can also look for Sister Cities from other countries. Once this relationship is established the relationship it can help in the development.

Lake beautification: There are around ten more tanks in the city. These can be planned, developed and maintained as theme based natural areas, which also provide a recreation zone for the denizens of the city. Natural walks (non tiled), angling and bird watching facilities etc. need to be basic amenities to be created here. Planting around the tank can be theme based like mangogrove, jackfruit orchard, medicinal plant garden etc. The planting as well as maintenance can be outsourced.
