A smart city is a technologically modern urban area which uses electronic methods and sensors to collect and record specific data. This information is used to manage assets, resources, and services efficiently while improving operations. The focus of a smart city is to augment city functions, promote economic growth and improve the quality of life for the citizens by using smart technologies and data analysis.
SMART CITY MISSION
Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was launched by the Honourable Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi on 25 June 2015. The main objective of SCM was to promote cities that provide core infrastructure, a clean and sustainable environment, drive economic growth and add value through comprehensive work on social, economic, physical, and institutional pillars of the city through smart solutions.
