Smart Cities focus on
their most pressing needs and on the greatest opportunities to improve lives.
They tap a range of approaches - digital and information technologies, urban
planning best practices, public-private partnerships, and policy change - to make
a difference. They always put people first.
In the approach to
the Smart Cities Mission, the objective is to promote cities that provide
core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean
and sustainable environment and application of 'Smart' Solutions. The focus is
on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact
areas, create a replicable model which will act like a light house to other
aspiring cities. The Smart Cities Mission is meant to set examples
that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City, catalysing the
creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions and parts of the country.
