2.  What is a Smart City?
A smart city uses digital technologies to enhance
performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and
resource consumption, and to engage more
effectively and actively with its citizens.

A smart city should be able to respond faster to city
and global challenges than one with a simple
'transactional' relationship with its citizens. The term
encompasses a vision of an urban space that is
ecologically friendly, technologically integrated and
meticulously planned, with a particular reliance on
the use of information technology to improve
efficiency.

cities would generate 70% of the new jobs created
by 2030, produce more than 70% of the Indian gross
domestic product and drive a fourfold increase in per
