Technology is the foundation of Smart Cities & Array Networks is committed to this transformation. Rising urbanization and growing demand for better citizen services are the commonest concerns plaguing India today. The Smart Cities Mission in India needs cost-effective landscapes supported by technology and sustainable frameworks to help meet the objectives. Cities in India need to tackle important issues such as basic sanitation, public transport, clean water, and effective waste management. The traditional approach of managing and maintaining the cities must change – both in mindset as well as in the way they are administered. Data needs to be used effectively in each stage of decision making.
