Abstract
This chapter focuses on smart planning initiatives undertaken by three cities in the state of Madhya Pradesh (MP) as part of the Smart Cities Mission (SCM) of India. The chapter is organized into sections that present the background and the context of the SCM in India to first introduce the topic, and then presents three case studies of the Area-Based Development (ABD) initiatives from MP, including the Pan-City Solutions (PCS) of these case study cities. The ABD and PCS are two spatial scales of the Smart City initiative. The ABD impacts only a factional area of the city and focuses on high-quality urban infrastructure investments to attract new businesses and investments, while the PCS is a technology dominant initiative that impacts citywide via information and communication technologies (ICT), cloud computing, mobile computing, artificial intelligence (AI), etc.—based investments. The chapter concludes by discussing the two spatial scales of the Smart City initiative, lessons learned from the three case studies and offers takeaways. The methodology used in developing the chapter includes secondary information available in the public domain, including consultants reports, government websites, and published papers and reports. The chapter provides insights for planners, public administrators, policymakers, and scholars interested in similar smart initiatives in other parts of the developing world.
