Dwindling interest in 'smart cities' | Authored by Dr. V.P Singh
Dr. VP Singh discusses India’s declining focus on the Smart Cities Mission (SCM) and a shift towards satellite townships and mixed-use developments. Although SCM aimed to promote sustainable urbanization, only 5% of the projects attracted private investment. Rapid urbanization—adding 404 million new urban residents by 2050—requires $827 billion in infrastructure investment. The article urges pragmatic reforms, emphasizing the need for cooperative governance and sustainable urban planning, while cautioning against political freebies that discourage private sector participation.
