This project began in 2015 when legacy CH2M (now Jacobs) became
the program manager tasked with developing integrated
infrastructure for this smart city, a world-class exhibition and
convention center, and a multi-modal logistics park. Located in the
Aurangabad District in the State of Maharashtra, Jacobs will
continue to develop the new mega-industrial city that features a
transit-oriented and walkable township, water and energy
conservation, renewable power sources, information and
communication technologies (ICT) and City Command and Control
Center, which promotes a healthy quality of life while maintaining
the area's unique cultural heritage.
"Jacobs brings considerable innovative digital solutions
knowledge around emerging technologies and value-added solutions to
our customers," said Jacobs Buildings, Infrastructure and Advanced
Facilities President Bob Pragada.
"Leveraging our capabilities in information technology and bringing
that experience to such an exciting industrial 'smart city' will
enable state-of-the-art technologies to enhance this integrated
infrastructure development in India."
Developed as a part of the Jacobs Connected Enterprise digital
solutions offerings, this new integrated industrial township will
be a congregation of office spaces, residences, hotels, large and
small format retail, hospitals, schools, parks, entertainment hubs
and other land uses. More than 60 percent of the total land has
been utilized for industrial purposes, while 40 percent is for
residential, commercial, institutions, open spaces and
social-cultural amenities. At AURIC, ICT will play a key role in
integrating various functions to keep the city operating in a
smooth, streamlined manner. An intelligent, 100 percent online
e-governance system will digitize procedures and utilize analytics
and real-time monitoring to ensure citizens enjoy an efficient,
future-ready lifestyle. AURIC is planned with the idea of
integrating city infrastructure with information and communication
technology.
Since the beginning of the work on AURIC in 2015, the project
has already secured several awards, including:
- SKOCH Platinum Smart City Platinum Award 2017
- SKOCH Order of Merit Award 2017 for E-Land Management
System
- Times National Award 2017 – Best office Building (Auric City
Hall Building)
- Times National Award 2017– Best in Architecture for AURIC City
