Another thing that we can all agree on is that the cost of building in these smart cities is going to be considerable. An estimate can be derived based on the latest smart city developments in India. With the booming population, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is pushing to attract investments to fuel rapid development projects in the country.
