Modi’s model for urban future: India builds first smart city

As we all know, ahead of his race last May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised 100 smart cities by 2022 to help meet the urban rush and attract global investors.

India’s plan to accommodate a growing urban populace and attract venture capitalists rests in large part with many smart cities like the one being built in Gandhinagar, Gujarat on the dusty banks of the Sabarmati river.

As part of the smart-city, shining towers, drinking water on tap, automated waste collection and a committed power supply are being arranged.

With an urban populace set to ascend by more than 400 million to 814 million by 2050, India faces the sort of mass urbanization only seen before in China, and a significant number of its greatest urban communities are now bursting at the creases.

Modi’s stupendous plan, still an indistinct idea including quality Communications and Infrastructure, is starting to come to fruition outside Gandhinagar, capital of Gujarat, with the first smart city the government trusts will give a model to India`s urban future.
