Abstract
Smart city is a concept that differs from one country to the other depending on various factors like willingness to reform, resources, level of development and aspirations of the people. The primary aim behind a smart city is the holistic growth of an urban ecosystem involving economic, physical, social and institutional development. The overall development towards achieving the goal of being a smart city is a long term goal, which can be approached in an incremental manner, adding layers of “smartness” each time.
