The list of 20 smart cities out of the 98 shortlisted for the ‘Smart Cities Mission’ was released on Thursday. These 20 cities will be the first to receive funds, thus kickstarting the process of developing them into ‘smart cities’. The next two years will see the inclusion of 40 and 38 cities, respectively.
