This paper discusses the Smart City plan proposal of Bhubaneswar which ranked first in the
national challenge round competition under the Smart Cities Mission in 2015. Bhubaneswar’s
Smart City plan exemplifies a technology-enabled road map for a medium-sized city, towards
people-centric planning with a focus on citizen engagement and social inclusion. However,
planning for smart cities is a continuous process. While the projects initiated under the
Smart Cities Mission acted as a lighthouse, ultimately, it would be important for the local
governments to take ownership and move forward. Moreover, the deployment of digital
technology needs to be linked to achieving specific developmental objectives in a measurable
way to optimize resource utilization. For this to happen, Smart City Plans need to be
integrated with the city’s overall master planning framework.
