Abstract

The economy is the heart of any Smart City. As the world progresses to third industrial revolution, the economy focus is expected to shift from large-scale production industries to industries with cultural and ethnic uniqueness. Urban form of a city is its biggest brand image of its culture. A Smart City needs to maintain its urban form to highlight its cultural and ethnic uniqueness and evolve a branding for its products. This chapter like many other chapters in this book is the outcome of an academic project conducted by Department of Architecture and Planning at NIT, Calicut. The project is to develop a Smart City within the premises of Calicut City, with a smart economy at the core. Malabari food production is the core economy of Umami. This chapter proposes a systematic approach for derivation execution and management of the city’s urban form to function it as brand image. It is necessary to turn to the collective wisdom of various classes of people to ensure unique solutions. Bringing people to participate in every stage of urban design is a challenge. All stages of urban design in this chapter use e-Design, which relies on various digital communication techniques to bring in unique solutions from a large number of stakeholders and arrives at an acceptable-to-all solution. A modified Hybrid Form-Based Coding Regulation is used for structuring urban design process and its implementation. The process addresses issues from a broader perspective starting with a Zonal Plan and goes into minute details like signage, architectural features, and landscaping. It also proposes various smart technologies required in Smart Mobility, smart environment, smart governance, etc.
