The government suggests that \u2018Smart Cities\u2019 are those that are able to attract investments. With increasing urbanisation and the load on rural land, the government has realised the need for cities that can cope with the challenges of urban living and also be magnets for investment. The announcement of \u2018100 smart cities\u2019 falls in line with this vision. The cities with ongoing or proposed smart cities include Kochi in Kerala, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Manesar in Delhi NCR, Khushkera in Rajasthan, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Ponneri in Tamil Nadu and Tumkur in Karnataka. Many of these cities will include special investment regions or special economic zones with modified regulations and tax structures to make it attractive for foreign investment. However time factor is a challenge for \u2018Smart Cities\u2019 as they can take anything between 20-30 years to build.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWork Smart Not Hard\u201d!!!
