New Urban Technology Towards Energy Harvesting and Environmental Initiatives for a Smart City

The concept of smart cities in India was developed by the Government of India in June 2015 by the Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi. The basic aim of such a concept was to develop the country, to improve the lifestyle of individuals, and to develop the economic part of the country. The smartness of a city is identified by some parameters including technology-based manufacturing method, pollution control initiative, new energy harvesting methods, and initiative towards new job creation for the young masses by using available resources. Each year, the urban department of the Government of India announces smart city ranking by taking the data submitted by state governments. The mission of smart cities will be fulfilled if proper judgement, development, designing, and implementation happen; 45–50% of the total population of a state lives in urban areas in which maximum are common people. The lifestyle of these peoples should be cared for a smart city. In this work, some technology-based methods towards new energy creation and pollution control have been presented. A new way of energy harvesting by developing a model, which works by converting pressure energy to electric energy, and a secondary fuel concept towards zero pollution have been described in this work. Both of these models are environmentally friendly. The design and development costs for these models are very less and also easy to operate. These methods are designed to provide benefit towards the development of smart cities and to improve the lifestyle of common people in urban areas.
