Central Government Announces 13 Smart City Winners..!
by Mr. Anuj Puri, Chairman & Country Head, JLL India
With the latest addition of 13 more cities, the smart cities mission has made inroads into 25 states / UTs in India. If we were to look at the Smart city and AMRUT qualifying cities together, they account for close to 70% of the total urban population of India.
It is exciting to see that these qualifying cities now have a long-term five year action plans based on a comprehensive analysis of gaps in their public amenities and utilities and this is a step in the right direction if we want to see more cities emerging as economic centres to reduce the pressure on select big cities.
The
latest list is a good mix of prominent industrial and cosmopolitan
cities along with, state capitals as well as Tier
3 and 4 cities and bodes well for a holistic approach to developing
existing cities as Smart Cities.
The geographic spread of the new list also shows encouraging signs of development being also focused towards the eastern and north-eastern part of the country where infrastructure development is vital, in line with Modi’s vision to develop the east.
