Abstract

In the year 2014, “smart cities” in India started through an initiative known as “Smart Cities Mission” by the Indian Government. The key idea behind this mission is to develop technology-driven cities in India. The urbanization rate in India is rapidly increasing. Due to fast urban growth, citizens suffer from problems like heavy traffic jams, poor waste management, inadequate water supply and many more. To overcome these issues, smart city terminology comes into existence. This paper provides the inclusive improvement of smart cities in India, in terms of market scale, development growth and industry standards. The challenges while making the “smart cities” in India are also discussed. The research also reviews the main themes constituents of the “smart cities” like “smart governance”, “smart education”, “smart living”, “smart healthcare”, “smart citizens”.
