************************************************
Connectivity has not just emerged in terms of shortening the physical distance
but assumed a new role and meaning that simply didn’t exist centuries back
i.e., virtual connectivity.
Networked life, though has existed from the very beginning of societal
structural formation, the emergence of trade activities, and evolution of
economic ecosystem; it was never as organised, resilient, and transitory as
today.
The way social and technological evolution occur, like an almost unstoppable
but invisible force; it remained almost unnoticeable, until recently. While we
assume that getting timely information, availing universal connectivity, and
living a networked way of life is fundamental and intrinsic to society, almost
like the presumed service rights; only until we encounter paucity of
information, obstruction in connectivity or experience friction or blockage in
network.
What it takes for cities to offer a seamless flow of information, ubiquitous
connectivity, and resilient modern networked life? Almost all of the above
values and conveniences of modern life can be encapsulated under the ambit of
the smart city concept; with the concerted efforts of multiple stakeholders.
The city administrations, city managers, and urban planners have to leverage
all of these in a holistic, inclusionary, and cautionary manner while creating
a fail-safe provision for system redundancy. The discourse around amorphous and
shape-shifting “smart city concepts”, yet seemingly an unstoppable force, is
increasingly required to be directional and formulative (instead of divisive)
to be constructive.
