I have new article on Smart Cities Initiatives in India published by the CPPR. In India, the cities are still governed by State capitals and National Capital instead of decentralized form of governance to improve for ease of living by all means.
The piece mainly discusses the below issues:
"As part of the smart cities initiatives guidelines, the Union Ministry of Urban Development had notified in September 2016 to create a City-Level Advisory Forum (CLAF) comprising all major stakeholders including elected representatives of that city, local youth, technical experts, associations of taxpayers, residents’ welfare, trade and commerce associations, etc. However, this Forum was not functional until recently and most Smart Cities in the country including Tamil Nadu were created this year or in the last few months only."
