U. S. Mission Public Affairs Section invites proposals for a program to connect American academics and researchers with their counterparts in India to share best practices in “smart city” policy, design, and administration.
The program is intended to demonstrate the capacity of educational
and policy research institutions to serve as resources – whether as conceptual incubators or validators of policy efficacy - for governments planning, designing, or managing “smart cities.” For the purpose of this project, smart city design/management includes e-governance, sustainable urban planning, and the provision of public services that improve a city’s commercial competitiveness, health and safety, energy consumption, and residential quality of life.
