Smart City - Big Questions
Hoping that 100 Civic Bodies will form SPVs lead by their Municipal Corporation and Central Govt is not a feasible idea. And the ideas that each of these cities will have a CEO of this SPV who will make this smart city happen is also flawed. Is the Govt going to pay private sector compensation to these CEOs.
The role that citizens will play is still not identified and if they keep going at this speed, at 5 year mark, they would still be forming the SPVs with zero results on ground.
How can we ensure that Smart Cities becomes successful and not another channel for local bodies to give contracts locally with collusion and make a ton of money.
Please give your views and local circle must communicate to PM and Urban Dev Minister. more
