First Young Researchers Workshop  on   “Smart Cities for Sustainable  
Development” will be held on 22 January 2016.

Increasing population and density have been generating many issues in  
cities across countries. The proper managerial planning is required to  
ensure well directed growth. Not only perfect infrastructure is  
warranted, but a good planning for the growth is important. Billions  
of people have been migrating towards cities in many countries which  
leads to the growth of urban population. World bank predicts  
voluminous rise in 2050 with is expected to be 75%.

The question is the understanding of how sustainable cities should  
grow. Real time data observation and collection with analysis would  
lead to produce new design and planning. Young researchers have  
potential for such comprehensive real time data gathering and  
analysis. This workshop is primarily intended to encourage young  
researchers to collect live data across cities which can enable to  
form smart cities for the near future.

The themes include but not necessarily limited to-

Modern infrastructure for cities(roads, power plants, water treatment  
plants, sewage systems, transit systems)
Energy Efficiency including non-conventional energy management
Green Environment including E-Waste Management, Hospital Management etc
Smart Grid
E-Governance
Electro-mobility
