II. INTERNATIONAL SMART CITIES

S.No. Continent

Firstly, I started with the general typology analysis and further moved towards characterizing the cities in terms of smart objectives and dimensions. Later I will be studying one relevant smart project from each 25 cities and try to connect them to Indian context. How they are relevant? what useful methods or principles can be used in Indian cities?

The 25 cities around the world are selected from all the continents to access the differences in their smart city applications. The 25 cities are mostly representative smart cities of the continents. To use these examples in my initiatives, I started categorizing and clustering them under various attributes.
