Library of Things is a space where residents can rent, exchange or donate sparingly used objects such as power drills, appliances and board games and make them available for the community to borrow. The concept lowers the cost of living and improves residents’ quality of life, helping to create a thriving community.

Community 5.0 envisions a tech-enabled neighbourhood where all the members, including residents and society managers, have access to all the society facilities we see around us (such as water and power supply management, daily household services management, security management) which are either automated or can be easily managed remotely with just a few clicks.

1) It is only about the gadgets
2) It is just for the rich
3) It is only about safety and security
4) It is complex & reduces human interaction

Accessibility (particularly in housing apartments) is necessary for people with physical disabilities, especially in India where 2.21% of the population is differently abled. At Planet Smart City, we incorporate ‘smart solutions’ such as elevated urban gardens, specialized paths for the visually impaired, accessible toilets in commercial spaces etc. that promote inclusivity by welcoming all possible users.

With great technology comes great responsibility, a major one being the need to maintain that human touch where people are connected with their neighbours and enjoy the small things together. At Planet Smart City, we believe in the system of community management that uses technology to go beyond it by bringing people together.

Though technology is an integral part of creating smart communities, a true smart community is an interconnected network of residents, businesses and service organisations, leveraging the use of technologies for economic growth, social benefits and environmental sustainability. These communities are sustainable and self-sufficient, encouraging social interactions and staying resilient in the face of increasing pressures.
