Seema

Abstract:
After independence, ministry of Housing and Urban Development is trying to provide the basic civic amenities to every citizen of India. Department of Urban Local Bodies is playing an important role for the development of small towns and cities in the country. But in the present age of Information Technology, basic amenities and infrastructure is not sufficient to handle the burden specially in the highly populated cities like metro cities. So information technology plays an important role in developing smart cities so that bottlenecks can be handled with technology and smart solutions can be implemented by using available resources. This can be a long-term goal and cities can work towards developing such comprehensive infrastructure incrementally, adding on layers of ‘smartness’
