Talking about smart cities, the first question that comes to one’s mind is what is smartness? It means that there is a city where the life of citizens is easier. It is for providing a better standard of solutions to the citizens. Unless it is not possible in a city, it can never qualify for being smart. After the initiation of Smart City Mission, a lot of continuous professional approach is required to make it happen. The responsibilities of the municipal corporations of shortlisted cities for smart city mission have become more citizen-oriented. We have an urge to focus on smart solutions across the sectors to ease the citizens for doing business with the government.
