Smart Cities Mission: Flaws in a flagship programme

The Hindu  

The Narendra Modi government would be celebrating a year of the launch of its flagship urban programme, the >Smart Cities Mission, this month. Aimed at allocating Rs.10 billion to each selected city over a span of five years, the mission has been claimed by Venkaiah Naidu, the Minister for Urban Development, as a “first in the country and even in the world investments in urban sector are being made based on competition-based selection of cities”. It is in this context that a close scrutiny of the Smart Cities Mission, as this government’s articulation of what it thinks of India’s urbanisation, is warranted. There are multiple policies for urban India: the Swachh Bharat Mission which is gearing up to make urban areas clean; Housing for All which promises universal housing by 2022; the National Urban Livelihoods Mission; the National Urban Information System; and the Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana.
