In the quest to be the central knowledge source for Indian smart cities, it is imperative for the current knowledge platform to have relevant content and the right tools to benefit from the learnings of practitioners from across the world. Under this project, UNU-EGOV contextualized smart city case studies for the Indian audience and appended the same to the knowledge portal. In addition, UNU-EGOV, along with the World Bank team, analysed the capacity-building needs of Indian Smart City stakeholders and proposed appropriate training materials for formally building the capacity of Indian smart city SPVs in implementing their smart city plans.

Activities

  • Provide additional content from global smart cities, government agencies and smart solutions providers and develop partnership-facilitating capacity building of Indian smart city stakeholders.

  • Collect, create, organise, and present content from at least 100 case studies to be updated on the knowledge platform

  • Prepare content that showcases specific smart city policies or solutions implementation and recommendations for Indian smart cities.

  • Organise training course scenarios and outlines based on the identified needs of Indian smart city practitioners (e.g. in connection with the Smart Republic Conference, 15-16 February 2018, in New Delhi, India).    

Outputs

D1. 40 full Smart City Case Studies.
D2. 60 short Smart City Case Studies.
D3. Final Report, including the list of materials uploaded and recommendations.
