This document outlines India's plan to develop 100 smart cities. It discusses the pillars of a smart city as infrastructure, healthcare, trade, law/policy, and aesthetics. Cities were selected based on population size and as state capitals or tourist destinations. The selection process involved cities proposing projects then being evaluated in three stages. The government will use public-private partnerships and task forces to implement plans while learning from other countries. Challenges include the large resources needed, complexity of projects, and risk of increased social inequality. The document questions if India's smart cities initiative is a good strategy.
