Expo Theme
Developing citizen friendly and economically viable cities is an urban initiative by the Government of India. Cities are engines of economic growth, and it is anticipated that 40% of India’s population will live in cities by 2030. With the rapid rise in the proportion of people living in urban areas, there is an increasing requirement for sustainable cities. Hence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission of Smart Cities is intended to transform the lives and living conditions of the citizens of the country. Recognizing smart cities as an important platform to drive progressive change, the Smart Cities India 2015 expo was a platform to discuss and deliberate some of the most challenging issues, new areas and upcoming technologies with stakeholders who are developing smart cities.
