In order to provide smart solutions for the country’s cities, Smart Cities Council India will launch a ‘Smart Cities Readiness Guide for India’ with 100 case studies from various cities. It has invited industry partners to join the consortium and provide inputs for the report.
The organisation is the Indian arm of Smart Cities Council, a global industry coalition to advance smart city development and innovation, which has members such as ABB, General Electric, Schneider Electric, Siemens, CISCO, IBM, Microsoft, among others. It has tied up with Pratap Padode, President, Foundation of Infrastructure Research Studies Training, a think-tank, to launch Smart Cities Council India.
The guide will be published in September 2015 and will focus on providing solutions which can work at municipal body level.
