100 smart cities to be set up in India...Wow. It sounds so good and uplifting. But does one fully understand what is a smart city and the requirements of setting up such cities.
I came across a simple and informative article on this subject: "Smart cities for smart people: Plan them as small working districts for entrepreneurs' by Prof. S.K.Sharma.
'Smart cities', he cautions, 'will be suitable only for smart people, who own smart phones and smart gadgets with a 24-hour access to high-speed data and have financial resources to own smart apartments and appliances'.
