After returning to India, as a Kolkatan I wanted a property in Bengal. I had some doubts as to if this would be a good investment, but I think New Town matches my requirements perfectly :)

For me, good transportation system, womens safety, waste management plays the most important role in any city and I hope New Town will soon become the best place to live in Kolkata when all these aspects will be taken care of.

Being a woman, I want maximum security in New Town at night. I often return from my work late and I worry about my safety. I hope this can be kept in mind while making it a Smart City.

Initiatives to keep New Town clean is a must. There should be garbage collection bins and recycle bins at every required places, properly monitored and serviced by the government. And not just the government, the residents of New Town are equally responsible to keep the city clean. Remember, a clean city is in itself a smart city!
