INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT OF CITIES THROUGH AUTOMATION

Exponential expansion of cities posses’ significant challenges in Infrastructure. Hence Management of Infrastructure in conventional ways are time consuming, wastage of resources, consuming manpower, costlier and can result in poor efficiency. The key is towards achieving efficiency in infrastructure with respect to all the constraints by employing smarter means of automation. Increased availability of technology, ne wer innovations, flexibility of systems and easier access to products at an affordable cost are changing the conventional way of planning and managing the infrastructure of cities. The objective of this paper is to highlight few escalating technological i nventions that has enormous potentials to change the perspective of planning and managing cities more effective in achieving a better quality of life, more energy efficient, safety and security, easier disaster management, reduced stress, manpower and redu ced operation cost.
