The Indian School of Business (ISB) will now tell states and cities how much they have to progress in order to become a smart city.
In order to help theIndian Government in its ‘smart cities’ initiative, ISB has developed a framework to help cities introspect and then develop the skills to become ‘smart’.
Under the 'Smart City Maturity Model' (SCMM), states and other Indian cities would be able to assess their progress and subsequently align strategies in this regard.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had vowed 100 smart cities by 2022 to meet the increasing urban population, which is expected to rise by more than 400 million people to 814 million by 2050.
The Finance Ministry had allocated Rs 7,060 crore for developing these smart cities, which is defined as uses technology to integrate and utilise its resources towards better habitability, sustainability and citizen empowerment.
Meanwhile, on the basis of social and physical infrastructure, the states would be categorised into four heads-- development laggards, low moderate development, high
moderate development and development leaders.
The model has been developed by Deepa Mani, Assistant Professor and Joint Executive Director, along with Shankadeep Banerjee, Research Associate at the school's Srini Raju Centre for IT and the Networked Economy.
