congested Bhendi Bazaar will come alive the grand vision of Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project (SBUP). With the sole intention of creating a milieu, the project will realize the dreams of its residents, both commercial & residential, to live life to its fullest potential with better standard of living and holistic growth.

This ambitious redevelopment project comprising of 16.5 acres of landform has approximately 250 existing buildings, 1250 shops and 3200 families. All of these will be incorporated into a state-of-the-art sustainable development with new buildings, wide roads, modern infrastructure, more open spaces and highly visible commercial areas. The mosques and religious structures will be retained and enhanced to add to the culture of the place.

This just some marketing hype from IT companies. They love to bottle old wine in new bottles.

Bangalore is already a 'smart' city; and it is getting smarter by making us dumber.

Two years ago at the Smart Cities Expo World Congress, Antoni Vives, then Barcelona's second deputy mayor, said he refused to have more technology pilots in the city: "I hate pilots, if anyone of you [technology companies] comes to me selling a pilot, just get away, I don't want to see you." He added, "I am fed up with the streets full of devices. It is a waste of time, a waste of money, and doesn't deliver anything; it is just for the sake of selling something to the press and it does not work."

Barcelona is already a leading city in the use of IoT and, according to Fortune, "The most wired city in the world". Over the past 10 years, the city has experienced a surge in the number of sensors, data collection devices and automation and has become "a showcase for the smart metropolis of the future". Over the past few years technology companies have sold pilot programs costing millions of dollars to cities all over the world, claiming it will enhance their "Smart City" rating. Unfortunately, after the initial buzz, many of those pilots never get beyond the evaluation stage and are abandoned because the cities cannot afford them in the first place.
