Developed and emerging economies are witnessing myriad challenges, ranging from climate change and accelerated urbanisation to resource scarcity. Apart from these challenges, the world is witnessing a shift in global economic power as well as a mix of demographic and social changes. This is driving economies to explore innovative solutions that also conform to the traditional set-ups and governance structures. We help governments and public sector organisations enable efficient governance practices infused with ingenuity and aided by technology.
PwC has developed a host of smart solutions for our cities. See how we can help transform the Indian urban landscape.
The purpose of this report is to understand one of the new technology breakthroughs—namely blockchain—and analyse how it can be utilised for making cities smarter.
This report is based on a performance assessment of 20 major Indian cities in terms of the operational effectiveness of the urban services being delivered to its citizens. More importantly, the report assesses the effectiveness of the strategies of 10 cities in a period of one year, which gives an indication of the approach for other cities to emulate. Smart cities are truly an opportunity to transform India, and we believe that this report will help cities accelerate towards their goal of significantly improving the goal of improving the quality of life for the common citizen.
Cities are evolving faster than ever, putting them on the cusp of major transformation which, if managed well, could either lead to unprecedented economic growth and prosperity for all, or drive them to social decline, economic collapse and environmental damage.
