Innovative infrastructure project in the city includes broad categories like Water Restoration and conservation, Energy Conservation, and Water supply. Smart infrastructure technology benefits residents by improving transportation systems, enhancing safety and security, optimizing resource management, delivering personalized services based on artificial intelligence, and promoting environmental sustainability.
We know that cities can gather data with internet-of-things (IoT) technologies to manage traffic better and plan future transportation. These devices include speed sensors, acoustic sensors, IP CCTV cameras, bright traffic lights, condition/weather monitoring systems, and digital signage.
Smart roads that incorporate electronic technologies. They are used to improve the operation of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), for traffic lights and street lighting, and for monitoring the condition of the road, as well as traffic levels and the speed of vehicles.
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS), or innovative traffic management systems, provide an organized, integrated approach to minimizing congestion and improving safety on city streets through connected technology.
Reacting to loads and timing, intelligent solutions in signal light systems can be genuinely beneficial in reducing traffic congestion. Relying on the number of vehicles, data from queue detectors and cameras, smart traffic signals can adjust to the patterns of busyness at intersections and other crucial road traffic areas.
Intelligent utilities comprise electric, gas, and water sectors that employ connected sensors across their grids to deliver services more efficiently and analyze their operations.
Using smart sensors, IoT also enables businesses and organizations to automatically switch energy consumption on or off based on the occupancy of a room or building, preserving energy and lowering utility bills.
Intelligent water management aims to guide water utilization to drive efficiency, sufficiency, and sustainability by integrating innovative technologies such as sensors, smart water metering, information systems, data acquisition, and decision support systems.
Smart Water Management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing managing water resources using an array of IoT technologies designed to increase transparency and make more reasonable and sustainable usage of these water resources.
Smart security is a modern day solution to age-old concerns of theft or vandalism, allowing you to check on your home or office and manage your set-up from your mobile device or PC.
Security systems operate on the basic concept of securing access points with sensors, which when triggered, will send a signal into the control panel. In turn, the control panel will send a signal to the alarm system to alert the owner, neighbors, and security
Smart waste management is about using technology and data to create a more efficient waste industry. Based on IoT (Internet of Things) technology, smart waste management aims to optimize resource allocation, reduce running costs, and increase the sustainability of waste services.
Waste management refers to the various schemes to manage and dispose of waste. It can be done by discarding, destroying, processing, recycling, reusing, or controlling waste. The prime objective of waste management is to reduce unusable materials and to avert potential health and environmental hazards.
School districts are city entities that provide public elementary and secondary education to students within a specific territory. An area of a city that has been given fixed borders for education purposes or has a particular feature that makes it different from surrounding areas.
An intelligent hospital uses data-driven insights, including machine learning models and AI-powered medical devices, to facilitate decision-making.
A smart hospital deploys AI, IoT, 5G networks, and other technological advances from edge to cloud to seamlessly coordinate and align operations for accelerated and enhanced patient care.
A shopping mall is a large enclosed shopping center. It is a very large building or buildings containing a lot of stores and restaurants, usually with space outside for parking. A shopping mall is no longer just a place to go to buy something; it’s a community and entertainment center.
It is different from earlier markets or bazaars because most of the shops are not little booths or stalls in one big open area. Each store has its own space with walls.
Business district means an existing recognized area of a city principally used for commerce or trade.
A central business district (CBD) is the commercial and business Centre of a city. It contains commercial space and offices, and in larger cities will often be described as a financial district.
A filling station (also known as a gas station (US) or petrol station (UK)) is a facility that sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles. A fuel station is a retail place of business operated for selling and delivering to the general public motor vehicle fuel into the fuel tanks of motor vehicles.

TSQ Smart City has a centrally controlled hub for smooth coordination of all activities. This is controlled by Artificial Intelligence or AI. The hub is called the ABCT building. This ABCT building is connected with all the wireless sensors in such a way, when any car disobeys the red light, a signal will be sent to the ABCT building; if there is a fire in any building, a signal will be sent to the ABCT building; if there is any accident somewhere, a signal will be sent to the ABCT building. In case of any kind of accident, the ABCT building will be alerted. What is the meaning of ABCT building? This means the Administrative & Business Center of Times Square building. This is an important building in Times Square, where you will get all your plot related activities solved in one day, in one word, all papers are clear, all processes are clear!

The reason why Times Square Smart City is developing high-quality trunk infrastructure is to improve the dig-free system, i.e. avoid digging holes again and again. In one word, prevent from the idea of Man at work, man always at work. The TSQ Smart City is a once-underground management of trunk infrastructure controlled by ICT or “Information Communication Technology”. Sewer lines are going down, gas pipe lines are going down, and all kinds of drainage lines are going down. Even if it rains heavily, there is no chance of the roads getting submerged in water. The world’s number one California, USA Based Architectural firm and city planner company Gensler Designed Technology is consultant of this project.
If you notice, there is no source of clean water in the river around Dhaka! So, the question may be why not? Because the industrial waste of the city is accumulating in the river through various drains and canals. Along with this, toxic chemicals are also being released due to which the river water is becoming toxic and polluting the air and the surrounding environment. The ecosystem of the land property and the entire public life around it is being polluted. Today water, air and land are all getting polluted. So, what is the solution? The solution is ETP, stands for Effluent Treatment Plant. What is this effluent treatment plant? Every city should have a central ETP when chemically contaminated water is released as waste water somewhere in the city. By treating the effluent and then releasing the water into the river, the river will no longer be polluted. State-of-the-art ETP management housed in Times Square. This is the Times Square Smart City vision.
