Smart City Project - A Financial Model to estimate investment, revenue stream and project schedule for the Government

Description
Many cities are currently exploring the possibilities to make better use of the current urban fabric and its infrastructure, with the aim of enhancing local quality of life and improving urban sustainability. The wealth of urban data, the increased connectivity of urban objects through the Internet-of-Things and advanced energy and mobility technologies have opened new avenues for the application of smart solutions and the transition to clean energy and mobility in cities.


This is a financial model to identify various components of a Smart City, schedule a project development plan, estimate infrastructure size, estimate investment, plan sources of funds, estimate period wise cash requirement for the Government, estimate revenue streams for the Government.


More than 50% of the area has been set for natural open area including forest, water bodies, open fields etc. The rest of the area has been allocated to various components – residences, industry, commercial, shopping, government buildings, hospitals, educational, sports, water, power, hotels, shopping, fire fighting etc. All these area allocations are dynamic and can be changed to estimated infra size and cost.


This model has a built-in currency converter. The base costs are in US $ but the currency selector converts all the values into another currency. The model is structured into thirty-nine (39) tables which are easy to understand. The bulk of the data input is in one single tab (“Input”). The model doesn’t include power plants and waste management.
