Based on the shortlisting done by the States/UTs, 98 potential Smart Cities were selected in August 2015 to participate in All India City Challenge. Later on, on the basis of requests received from States, 12 new potential Smart Cities (left out capital cities and equal scoring cities) were also included in the list. Presently, no proposal is under consideration in this Ministry to include more cities in this list
Raipur would be put under a ‘retrofitting plan’ covering 500 acres of land to provide facilities not present so far under the Smart City Mission , officials informed

Accordingly Raipur city had submitted “Smart City Proposal” (SCP) for Raipur City to Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India with required consent of Government of Chhattisgarh and statutory authority of Raipur Smart City
The city of Raipur has been selected to be developed into a smart city under the fast track mode of first phase of the Smart Cities Mission
The Smart City Proposal of Raipur includes the smart city solutions which involve the use of technology, information and data to improve infrastructure and services with in the city of Raipur (The Smart Solutions Projects)
Raipur City is to promote Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) with dedicated pedestrianized corridors and enhanced ‘walk ability’ options
This was stated in the ‘Smart City Proposal’ for Raipur submitted during Stage II of the ‘Smart City Challenge’ of India Smart City Mission of the Union Ministry of Urban Development
The NMT mode had been focussed to bring pollution levels further down in the city, officials informed

The Union Ministry of Urban Development has taken up ‘Transit Oriented Development’ (TOD) in Naya Raipur besides Ahmedabad, Delhi (Kakardooma), Nagpur and Navi Mumbai, the Central Government has informed
The Ministry would like this to be expanded to other cities as well, it informed
To effectively address the emerging urbanization challenges, the Union Ministry of Urban Development has come out with a multi-pronged policy framework to promote living close to mass urban transit corridors, the Ministry informed
This new initiative seeks to promote TOD which enables people to live within walking or cycling distance from transit corridors like the Metros, Monorail and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors, currently being taken up on a large scale
The Ministry has formulated a ‘National Transit Oriented Development Policy’ which will be discussed with the States and Union Territories at a National Workshop on Urban Development to be held next week
This policy seeks to enhance the depth of understanding of States and UTs on TOD as a viable solution to many of the challenges like haphazard urban growth and sprawl, mobility, rapidly rising private vehicles on roads, pollution, housing choices etc
This new urban design and planning in the form of TOD, is being incentivised by the Union Ministry under two more initiatives viz., Metro Policy and Green Urban Mobility Scheme which also will be discussed with States and UTS for taking them on board
The Ministry’s initiative comes in the context of over 300 km of Metro lines being operational in seven cities, another 600 kms of metro line projects under construction in 12 cities and over 500 km projects under consideration
The Ministry has supported BRTS projects in 12 cities which are under different stages of progress and eight more cities are set to take up BRT projects. Mass Rail Transit System of 380 km length is being taken up in Delhi
Transit Oriented Development will be financed by channelizing a part of increases in property values resulting from investments in transit corridors through Betterment Levies and Value Capture Financing tools. Increased private sector participation will result in economic development and employment generation
