Smart Cities – not merely a catchphrase but a commitment

CONNAUGHT PLACE, India - Aug. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- The Smart Cities Mission (http://india.gov.in/smart-cities-mission-portal-ministry-urban-development) is an innovative and new initiative by the Government of India (http://india.gov.in/) to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of citizens by enabling local development and harnessing technology as a means to create smart outcomes for citizens.

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. Smart Cities always put their people first. States and ULBs will play a key supportive role in the development of Smart Cities. Smart leadership and vision at this level and ability to act decisively will be important factors determining the success of the Mission.This reflects the new sense of urgency on the part of states and Union Territories to make a difference to our urban landscape.
