A smart city is a designation given to a city that incorporates information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality and performance of urban services such as energy, transportation and utilities in order to reduce resource consumption, wastage and overall costs.
Features of Smart Cities
- adequate water supply,
- assured electricity supply,
- sanitation, including solid waste management,

History[edit]
"100 Smart Cities Mission" was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 June 2015.[9] A total of ₹98,000 crore (US$14 billion) has been approved by the Indian Cabinet for the development of 100 smart cities and the rejuvenation of 500 others. ₹48,000 crore (US$6.7 billion) for the Smart Cities mission and a total funding of ₹50,000 crore (US$7.0 billion) for the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) have been approved by the Cabinet.[9][10]In the 2014 Union budget of India, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley allocated ₹7,016 crore (US$980 million) for the 150 smart cities. However, only ₹924 crore (US$130 million) of the allocated amount could be spent until February 2015. Hence, the 2015 Union budget of India allocated only ₹143 crore (US$20 million) for the project.[10]
The first batch of 20 cities was selected. Known as 20 Lighthouse Cities in the first round of the All India City Challenge competition, they will be provided with central assistance of ₹200 crore (US$28 million) each during this financial year followed by ₹100 crore (US$14 million) per year during the next three years.[11] The remaining money has to come from the states, urban bodies and the consortium they form with corporate entities. Also, 10 percent of budget allocation will be given to states/union territories as incentives based on achievement of reforms during the previous year.[10] The Urban Development Ministry had earlier released ₹2 crore (US$280,000) each to mission cities for preparation of Smart City Plans.

This was the first time, a Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) program has used a competition- based method as a means of selecting cities for funding, and used an area-based development strategy.[13] Cities compete at the state level with other cities within the state. Then the state-level winner competes at the national level Smart city challenge. Only cities obtaining the highest marks in a particular round are part of the mission. Even during implementation, if a municipality or the mayor of any city do not show progress as committed in their city area development plan, they may be replaced by another city, or the next cache of financial support is not provided.[citation needed]
The list of nominations marked the first stage in the selection process of smart cities, where the state governments were asked to nominate potential cities based on state-level competition, with overall cities across India limited to 100. The total number of 100 smart cities have been distributed among the States and UTs on the basis of equitable criteria. The formula gives equal importance to both the urban population of the State/UT, and the number of statutory towns in the State/UT. Based on this formula, each State/UT, therefore, has a certain number of potential smart cities, with each State/UT having at least one.[14]
In August 2015 the Ministry of Urban Development, released the list of nominees sent in by state governments. The list comprises 98 cities, including many state capitals.[15]
All the cities from West Bengal (New Town, Kolkata, Bidhannagar, Durgapur, Haldia) have withdrawn from the Smart Cities Mission.[5] Mumbai[16] and Navi Mumbai from Maharashtra has withdrawn from the Smart Cities Mission.[17]

What is a 'smart city' and how it will work
Smart Cities specification for data, information and asset security management launched
BSI, the business standards company, has launched a new Smart Cities specification for safeguarding data and information security in cities. PAS 185 Smart Cities – Specification for establishing and implementing a security-minded approach lists requirements for creating a framework for the security-minded management of a city.
The PAS was commissioned by the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) – the government authority for protective security advice to the UK national infrastructure. PAS 185 outlines the potential security threats to a smart city that could affect the people who live and work there, as well as outlining appropriate responses to those threats.
The goal of a smart city is to join up sectors – such as utilities, transport, or health – across organizational boundaries into a whole-city approach for the day-to-day running of services. The Smart Cities ethos is that greater availability of data and information can improve existing assets, which include refuge facilities, transport infrastructure, and housing.
Data and information can then be used in conjunction with the integration of services and systems to improve service provision for current and future citizens. In addition, information acquired from outcome-based contracting can be used to improve the efficiency of newly built assets through a better understanding of whole-life performance of existing assets.
The framework in PAS 185 can be used to create appropriate and proportionate security measures to deter and/or disrupt hostile, malicious, fraudulent and criminal activities. Crucially, implementation of these measures will not prevent delivery of the city’s aims. Further, the PAS considers security holistically, looking at governance, personnel, physical, and technological security issues and solutions.
Aspects related to the environment of the smart city – including scale, organizational complexity, complex service delivery and ownership of smart city infrastructure – are covered in PAS 185. How an organization or individual should respond to incidents, security breaches, and changing risk levels is also outlined in the specification.
Dan Palmer, Head of Market Development for Manufacturing at BSI, said:
“Greater availability of data and information can transform the way our cities are run – helping public and private sector decision-makers to provide a better environment for citizens. But it is critically important that this data and information is handled responsibly, and doesn’t open up the city to cyber or other attacks. PAS 185 was created to provide a framework for the development of an overall security strategy for the handling, management and sharing of data.
“PAS 185 will help decision-makers in smart cities, as well as smart city data officers, understand and guard against the risks involved as they move into the digital age. It will also be of benefit to those interested in utilizing data and information to effectively deliver smart city objectives.”
PAS 185 is a companion document to other Smart Cities documents, including PAS 183 Smart Cities – Guide to establishing a decision making framework for sharing data and information services, and PAS 184 Smart Cities – Developing project proposals for delivering smart city solutions. The City Standards Institute is among the organizations that participated on the PAS 185 steering group. The Cities Standards Institute is a collaboration between BSI and the Future Cities Catapult to create a standards-based community of good practice for cities and the companies they work with.
The following organizations were involved in the development of PAS 185 as members of the steering group: A Luck Associates; Arup; BIM Task Group; Bodvoc Ltd; City of Bradford, Metropolitan District Council; Bristol City Council; Cities Standard Institute; Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI); Department for Transport; Digital Catapult; FlyingBinary; Future Cities Catapult; FlyingBinary; Future Cities Catapult; Institute of Asset Management; IoT Security Foundation; National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC); Peterborough City Council; Trustworthy Software Foundation; Turner & Townsend; University of Cambridge, Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction.
