Here are some projects planned under Mangalore Smart City Mission (MSCM)

June 4: 82 projects which were planned at a total cost of Rs 2,400.72 crore, under Mangalore Smart City Mission (MSCM) including Clock Tower and unscientific smart bus shelters, appears to add to the woes of unplanned urbanisation. But the mission’s official website declares that there are plans to make Mangalore a “livable and ecological city”.
MSCM Junior Urban Planner Mithun said that the mission has elaborate plans to shift all its administrative offices to the outskirts and open a separate intercity bus terminal near Kadri. He even mentioned that there are also plans underway to make Mangalore a maritime tourist attraction keeping the ecology in mind. A logistics hub is being proposed to reduce pollution and traffic mismanagement. The Water Front Development project also proposes a plan to convert the rich coastal landscape into a tourist hub with all the modern amenities. We are looking at increasing the green cover by proposing many open space parks and recreational zones within the city.
