Under this program, 15 of the country鈥檚 premier architecture and planning institutes will work with the Smart Cities for documenting the landmark projects that have been taken over by the Smart Cities Mission.
The documents will be capturing learnings from the finest practices, providing students with various opportunities for engagement on urban development projects, and enabling the flow of real-time information between urban practitioners and academia.

These projects are innovative and multi-sectoral. They have also been implemented in various geographies. The program also marks India鈥檚 75th independence anniversary. The idea will display India's best efforts and on-ground achievements. The compendium will be acting as an initial point of reference for future research in this field.
