Over a period of 47 years, the college has distinguished itself in diverse academic and professional fields by providing a vibrant and intellectually stimulating academic culture, to promote independence of thought and vision. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE India has a population of 1.27 billion plus, and growing. To accommodate rapid urbanization, the Government of India has allocated US$ 1.2 billion in fiscal year 2014-15 to build 100 new smart cities, and to develop satellite towns around existing cities. Famously known as Intelligent or Smart cities (communities, clusters, regions) are defined as multi-layer territorial systems of innovation that bring together knowledge-intensive activities, institutions for cooperation in learning and innovation, and digital spaces for communication and interaction in order to maximize the problem-solving capability of the city. The Interest in the smart cities has been motivated by major challenges, including climate change, economic restructuring, the move to online retail and entertainment, ageing populations, and pressures on public finances. Integration is a key-factor, enabling the above processes to work together and create environments more efficient in collaborative problem-solving and innovation. The uses of digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens can be brought under broad framework of smart cities. It would be a city that should be able to respond faster to city and global challenges than one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens. The one day conference aims to offer an opportunity to present the contribution on fundamental and applied research and ideas in developing smart cities across India. It aims to connect and provide a platform to the government officials, investors, experts and research students to discuss and exchange ideas, information, project reports, etc. CALL FOR PAPERS The Department of Geography, Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, University Of Delhi on 6th April, 2015, invites all for papers and poster presentation at India International Centre, New Delhi.
