Smart City: Sustainable City for Tackling Urban Challenges
India has witnessed massive growth in its urban population over the last few decades. Governments and policymakers are facing challenges such as increasing urban population in rural areas and huge infrastructure gaps. A smart city would be a city that has facilities such as smart people, smart technologies, smart energy, smart transportation, smart IT and communication and especially smart governance. This paper aims to focus on the key issues and the challenges to develop new cities or improve the infrastructure facilities in existing cities in India, which are overpopulated and not properly managed based on an in-depth literature review of relevant studies as well as official documents of international institutions. In addition, the document also focuses on climate change issues and how to address them. Cities contribute the majority of global economic activity, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, to significantly reduce emissions, urban centres will need to consume less energy and take greater advantage of periods of intermittent availability of renewable energy. “Smart cities” should be central to achieving these goals.
