The Smart Cities Mission was introduced in India in 2015 to promote economic growth and enhance quality of life in urban areas. The mission seeks to produce replicable models that act as role models for other aspirational cities, with a focus on inclusive and sustainable development. AI and IoT are critical in this transformation, as they enable cities to become more efficient, secure, and sustainable. AI-driven solutions can help cities become more efficient by automating processes, such as traffic management, energy management, and waste management, as well as improve security by providing real-time surveillance, facial recognition, and predictive analytics.
