At IGFMumbai, Jaewon Peter Chun, Chairman & President of the World Smart Cities Forum, brought home a critical distinction: smart cities are not just urban development projects - they are people-first ecosystems.
Instead of retrofitting existing plans with technology, true smart cities are designed from the ground up based on the characteristics and needs of the people who live in them.
As India enters an urbanisation wave, the question isn’t just how we build smarter - it’s who we’re building for.
