To develop intelligent and sustainable cities, the government of India launched initiatives like Smart Cities and the Clean Development Mission. Solid waste management (SWM) has become one of the primarily focused areas of such initiatives. The changing dynamics of urban waste characteristics due to unplanned urbanization and rapid growth in urban populations (due to migration) has been a significant concern for local authorities in urban areas to develop an effective SWM plan. The development of a long-term SWM plan along the line of the government initiatives' objectives requires understanding the waste quantities, characteristics, and existing waste management practices. This paper presents an overview of existing waste management activities, financial and institutional demographics in six selected Indian Smart Cities, and the field studies to assess SWM systems as per the waste management rules. The study involved a participatory approach to collect data from local bodies and stakeholders. Indicative strategies for the development of waste management systems were formulated based on the outputs of this analysis. Discussion on pathways includes waste characterization, funding sources, data technologies, and service level benchmarking to plan an integrated solid waste management system for a Smart City. The outcomes of this study shall equip local authorities in designing waste systems to accelerate the transition towards innovative and sustainable waste systems.

印度智慧城市可持续废物管理的途径

为了发展智能和可持续发展的城市,印度政府发起了智能城市和清洁发展使命等倡议。固体废物管理 (SWM) 已成为此类举措的主要重点领域之一。由于无计划的城市化和城市人口的快速增长(由于迁移),城市垃圾特征的动态变化一直是城市地区地方当局制定有效的 SWM 计划的一个重要问题。根据政府倡议的目标制定长期 SWM 计划需要了解废物数量、特征和现有的废物管理实践。本文概述了六个选定的印度智慧城市中现有的废物管理活动、金融和机构人口统计,以及根据废物管理规则评估 SWM 系统的实地研究。该研究采用参与式方法从当地机构和利益相关者那里收集数据。废物管理系统发展的指示性战略是根据该分析的结果制定的。关于途径的讨论包括废物特征、资金来源、数据技术和服务水平基准,以规划智能城市的综合固体废物管理系统。这项研究的结果将使地方当局能够设计废物系统,以加速向创新和可持续的废物系统过渡。废物管理系统发展的指示性战略是根据该分析的结果制定的。关于途径的讨论包括废物特征、资金来源、数据技术和服务水平基准,以规划智能城市的综合固体废物管理系统。这项研究的结果将使地方当局能够设计废物系统,以加速向创新和可持续的废物系统过渡。废物管理系统发展的指示性战略是根据该分析的结果制定的。关于途径的讨论包括废物特征、资金来源、数据技术和服务水平基准,以规划智能城市的综合固体废物管理系统。这项研究的结果将使地方当局能够设计废物系统,以加速向创新和可持续的废物系统过渡。
