Smart Global Megacity: Chennai Sustainable Development Framework
The exponential population growth has wreaked havoc on human life in the city environment. The doubling and tripling of the urban population create a strain on the existing systems, which has manifested in environmental chaos. In this chapter, the challenges faced by Chennai and a sustainable development framework for the comprehensive development of the city are discussed. A survey at the grassroots level was carried out to document the existing physical, socio-economic, and environmental aspects, the availability and level of infrastructure services, and the institutional functions of the city. An opinion survey with the stakeholders was carried out to record their views and opinion. Further, a validated system dynamics model was used to forecast the development scenario for the year 2041. A detailed policy recommendation for sustainable and energy-efficient Chennai is deliberated. The need for the use of geospatial tools, appropriate application of sophisticated forecasting models, and establishment of a big data command control center for effective monitoring of the city development and policy implementation is emphasized.
