WHY SMART Cities?
Great Cities were citadel of great Ancient Civilizations & in today’s world, Cities are economic growth engines. According to a study of the MIT Media Lab, “in the near future, cities will account for 90 per cent of the global population growth, 80 per cent of the wealth creation and 60 per cent of the total energy consumption.”
Developing strategies for creation of SMART cities is, therefore, a global imperative.

What is a SMART City?
Citizens & Their Quality of Life is the focus of a SMART CITY –
“A city well performing in a forward looking way in economy, people, governance, mobility, environment
and living, built on the smart combination of endowments and activities of self-decisive,
independent and aware citizens.”

An Indian SMART City Outcome Driven Approach
• Urbanization is inevitable and it is a key driver of India’s economic growth. Hence it is imperative that we do it right.
• We need to build “Greenfield Smart Cities” for specific socio-economic outcomes as well as “Retrofit our Existing Cities” to boost economic growth & well being of our citizens.

An Indian SMART CityNo One Size Fits All
• Every city has it's unique socio-economic advantages & urban challenges – Hence each will require an individual and unique SMART intervention.
• Making Bangalore the “Innovation Capital of the World” vs rejuvenating Varanasi as the “Sacred Land for Hindus”, both will require SMART interventions but will need different approach, knowledge & expertise.

Center for SMART Cities The Need
• The vision of a SMART City is defined uniquely by stakeholders based on their understanding and domain of expertise.
• Considerable knowledge, resource and best practices exist both in private sector and with the governments/municipal bodies, but putting it together in a collaborative framework with a usable form and format is a challenge.
