India stands at an important juncture in the fast-changing landscape of urbanization, and the need for sustainable intelligent cities has never been felt as acutely as today. Perhaps the most ambitious undertaking in this direction is that of the Gujarat Dholera Smart City. Situated as India’s first greenfield smart city, Dholera promises much more than mere development dreams translated into reality. This future city promises to rewrite the very concept of urban existence, catalyze economic growth, and set a yardstick for smart cities not only within India but beyond its shores.
