What is a Smart City plan?

The Smart City Mission refers to urban renewal and retrofitting program undertaken by the Indian Government with a mission of developing 100 cities across the nation by making them citizen friendly and sustainable.

The Smart City Mission visualizes the development of an area lying within 100 cities in the country as model areas based on the area development plan, which is likely to have an impact on the other parts as of the city, as well as on the nearby cities and towns.
