Smart City Master Planning and Sector-specific Smart City Infrastructure Projects for Visakhapatnam INTEGRATED SMART CITY FRAMEWORK PLAN AECOM SMART CITY VIZAG i ii CITY VIZAG AECOM As a destination city, Visakhapatnam has a lot to offer: beautiful beaches, friendly people and a robust economy. With a great natural harbor, Vizag is a natural hub for defense, shipping, trade, and manufacturing. The division of Andhra Pradesh into two states has given additional impetus to an already vibrant economic growth trend in Vizag. The advantages of living in Vizag as opposed to other knowledge industry capitals have not been lost on India’s young professionals, who appreciate the unspoiled natural environment, affordable housing and laid-back lifestyle on offer. Vizag, with its increasingly diverse economy and proven leadership team, is poised to grow. The challenge for Vizag will be to realize its ambitious economic growth goals while preserving and enhancing livability for the benefit of local citizens. The Smart City Framework Plan lays the groundwork for the development of Visakhapatnam from a 20th century port city into an integrated 21st century city-region. Each of the four major centers of Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region (VMR) will develop its own distinct urban character: 1. The city center will raise its profile as the business and cultural center of the region by carrying out signature development projects in the Central Business District, along the beach road and at Old Town. 2. The southern industrial area will develop of smaller, mixed-use urban sub-centers that offer jobs-housing balance and improved living conditions for the local workforce. 3. Madhurawada and Rushikonda will emerge as high-end knowledge industry clusters that offer world-class educational, recreational and tourism facilities. 4. Vizag’s unique selling point — its coastline — will be developed as a set of distinct recreational, ecological and livelihood destinations. New growth areas within all four centers will locate housing near jobs, preserve ecological assets, and minimize natural hazard risk. Binding the centers into a coherent regional whole will be smart transport, water and energy infrastructure that ensures smooth and timely flows of people and resources throughout the VMR. ICT innovations will allow infrastructure managers to anticipate stress points, take corrective action and enhance system performance. Citizens in Smart Vizag will also gain visibility into infrastructure systems and be able to participate in decisions about future improvements. By embracing Green Living and Smart Business, Visakhapatnam Metro Region will become South and Southeast Asia’s Clean Commerce Capital for the 21st century.

INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK PLAN I. INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK PLAN Introduction and Background The AECOM team, including partner firms IBM and KPMG, is carrying out the assignment “Smart City Master Planning + Sector Specific Smart City Infrastructure Plans for Visakhapatnam” on behalf of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (USTDA financing). With a view to promoting the development of Visakhapatnam (“Vizag”) into a smarter city, the assignment includes baseline analysis, formulation of a development strategy and guidelines, preparation of a smart city master plan, and feasibility analysis of smart city projects. It is anticipated that the work will be completed over three 5-month phases, as follows: Phase I – Baseline, Smart City Development Strategy and Action Planning for Two Smart City Projects (March 2016 – August 2016) Phase II – Preparation of the Smart City Master Plan Phase III – Implementation Plan and Feasibility Studies for Four Smart City Projects Phase I was contracted on February 12, 2016 and has been completed. Phase I included six tasks: Task 1 – Defining Visakhapatnam Smart City Vision Task 2 – Review and Analysis of Existing Conditions and Corresponding Best Practices Task 3 – Strategic Planning for Regulatory and Infrastructure Framework Task 4 – Sector-Specific Strategies Task 5 – Action Planning for Two Smart City Projects Task 6 – Interim Report AECOM SMART CITY VIZAG I-1 I.

The Vision for a Smarter Greater Vizag Building upon the existing diverse economic base and inherent livable amenities and lifestyle, the vision was set for greater Vizag to become South and Southeast Asia’s Clean Commerce Capital by 2030. This goal aims to protect and enhance quality of life for residents and businesses alike by pursuing two fundamental objectives: Green Living Preserve and celebrate the unspoiled environment Promote a healthy lifestyle Provide access to amenities Promote clean air and clean water Smart Business Maintain and expand ease of doing business Facilitate and require clean manufacturing Plan and deploy intelligent infrastructure Facilitate and require socially responsible businesses practices I-2 CITY VIZAG AECOM I. INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK PLAN Achieving the vision will require a “Smart City” approach to regional development and infrastructure planning and delivery. The intent of the Smart City framework, programs and projects will be to accelerate provision of basic services, employ creative approaches to cost-effective service delivery, and set in motion a virtuous circle of infrastructure investment, high-quality urban environment initiatives, workforce attraction and retention, increased local government revenue, and additional infrastructure investments. The intent is for Smart City projects to be deployed throughout the region to catalyze sustainable, cyclical progress toward
