<br/><br/> The Smart Cities Mission has made notable progress in building sustainable infrastructure, particularly in urban transport, traffic management, and smart water supply, in several cities. However, inadequate matching of financial allocation by the state governments, sluggish work progress in project implementation by local bodies, and poor maintenance of facilities have remained as grey areas of this mission. The performance of the SCM with special reference to Ahmedabad city is examined by identifying opportunities, innovations, and challenges concerning urban governance.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/35/special-articles/smart-cities-mission-india.html<br/>
