BACKGROUND
I
ndia’s economy is expanding rapidly
with 2/3rds of the GDP already generated in India’s cities. The rural to urban
migration patterns are accelerating, in
the hope of finding better employment
opportunities and living standards for the
ever growing population in the country.
India’s is urbanising at an unprecedented rate, so much that estimates suggest
nearly 600 million of Indians will be living
in cities by 2030, up from 290 million as reported in the 2001 census.
India needs to address the current problems of developing good infrastructure,
solid waste disposal, flood management,
storm water and sewerage system etc.,
resulting in urban decay, traffic gridlock
and thereby a deteriorating quality of life
for many of its citizens. The wave of urbanisation that is sweeping across India represents one of the country’s greatest opportunities as well as one of its most serious
challenges.
‘Smart Cities’ backed by ‘Smart Infrastructure’ has to be the definitive mantra to
combat this massive challenge.

GEOBUILD SMART
INFRASTRUCTURE 2015 PLATFORM
With a dedicated focus on the Infrastructure vertical, Geospatial Media and Communications brings to you a high level
discussion forum, GeoBuild Infrastructure
2015. The Summit will be held during 11th
to 12th February, 2015 at Hyderabad, India. It aims to bring together experts from
the Geospatial, AEC and Infrastructure
industry face to face with the various city
administrators like – Mayors, Municipal
Commissioners, and Local Urban Bodies
from across India. It will be focused on addressing challenges and opportunities of
the Infrastructure sector in India in terms
of constructing and maintaining the right
kind of infrastructure required for smart cities. In addition, it will showcase solutions by
who’s who of the industry that can help
you gain more accurate, accessible, and
actionable insight, which will apparently
help you throughout the execution and
lifecycle the projects.
GEOBUILD SMART INFRASTRUCTURE 2015 OBJECTIVE
Acknowledging the great importance of the ‘Smart Cities’
initiative by the Indian Government, Geospatial Media is proud
to organize the 2015 edition of GeoBuild Infrastructure during
11th to 12th February at Hyderabad, India. With the theme –
“GeoBuild Infrastructure for Smart Cities”, this program will trace
the importance of various aspects of infrastructure that needs to
be planned, designed, built and operated in order to provide
the ‘Smart’ attribute to a city development. This dedicated
program on Smart Infrastructure will be held for two consecutive
days featuring the designated heads of municipalities, urban/
city planning, research/academic institutes, builders, engineers/
consultants, technology providers, and many more which will
finally culminate with a closed-door and exclusive “Mayor’s
Conclave” that will pit the - Municipal Commissioners, Senior
Town Planners and Technology Providers along with other
important stakeholders of the industry from around the country in
front of each other in a round-table discussion format.
SCOPE
 Provide a forum for the interchange of ideas among the City
Administrators, AEC Representatives and experts from the ICT
and Geospatial Industry
 Discussion on state-of-the-art technology with respect to the
construction and maintenance process of smart infrastructure
 Seed the development of innovative ideas for modern transportation infrastructure - construction and management; housing
– construction; utilities - construction

Laying the ‘Smart’ Policy Framework
The National Government of India is keen to lay a policy
framework for development of Smart Cities that are citizencentric rather than being policy-centric. This would mean
re-looking at the existing, or, old laws and frame policies
that benefits the citizens. Many new cities will develop along with
the development of existing cities in the ‘smart city’ drive, wherein,
the private sector is expected to play a significant role in the development of smart infrastructure that includes - roads, pedestrian
pathways, public toilets, water and sewer networks, street lighting,
signal systems, gas supply, solid waste management systems,
drainage network and safety and security devices.
Adding ‘Smartness’ to Cities with Geospatial Information and Technology
Many countries around the world are taking ‘smartness’
to the next level. This involves increasing adoption of
high-end sensor-based ICT infrastructure to collect data
from various places in the city, analyse the data and
provide real-time information to people—often called “situational awareness” for the public. It could be insights on traffic
congestion, parking space availability or weather or any other
useful information.
Sustainable Infrastructure Construction: Foundation of a Smart City
For any smart city, a sustainable physical infrastructure is
the key. Whether it is the construction of a stand-alone
building, or, it can be roadways, bridge, airport, etc.,
self sustaining structures that not only recovers its cost,
but, also generates its maintenance amount while continuing to
provide optimal output.
