Socio-spatial implications of smart city development in India

Socio-spatial implications of smart city development in India. The project aims to generate extensive new knowledge on the complex socio-spatial implications of smart city development; and the ways in which they have been further consolidated, expedited, and elevated in response to COVID, and to stimulate the pandemic-hit economies. It makes a significant contribution to smart urbanism discourse globally with a focus on equity and its special role at times of crisis. The outcomes include a Smart City Roadmap for advising diverse stakeholders on how to negotiate for and build inclusive smart cities - with significant benefits in strengthening existing, and building new connections between India and Australia in an area of bilateral national significance.
