The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas and create a replicable model which will act like a lighthouse for other aspiring cities.

Making a city smart encapsulates learnings from the Smart Cities Mission to outline the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of a smart city. It is structured as a workbook with tasks in each section to help cities chart out their smart city journeys.

The book illustrates how a smart city is a city that works for its people. It is NOT the highest end state of a city and it does not sit at the tip of a city's pyramid of needs - from basic up to creative. Being smart makes a city more able and agile to move from one level to another, guided by principles of making most from limited resources, taking everyone along, quickly adapting to changes, being resilient in the face of stress or shock at each stage, and using technology mindfully at every step of the way to reach scale and speed.
