Government of India has launched a new urban development mission. Target is to develop 500 cities, which include cities with a population of more than 100,000 and some cities of religious and tourist importance. These cities will be supported and encouraged to harness private capital and expertise through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), to holster their infrastructure and services in the next 10 years. The strategic components of Area-based development in the Smart Cities Mission are:
1) City improvement (retrofitting).
2) City renewal (redevelopment).
3) City extension (greenfield development).
4) Pan-city initiative in which Smart Solutions are applied covering larger parts of the city.
