Abstract

Due to India's dynamic population and migration from rural to urban regions, policymakers are required to find solutions to different issues such as pollution, overcrowding, crumbling infrastructure, financial limits, and resource constraints in order to continue growth. To combat these issues government initiated the flagship program of Smart Cities (SC) but the current narrative about Smart Cities is upgraded to Sustainable Smart Cities (SSC) owing to various difficulties, as it simply identifies cities with strong potential for smartness. Second, it ignores the city's role in resource management. In this article, we offered a brief assessment of the major smart city story components encountered during the building of Jammu Smart City (our study area) from July 2020- June 2021 as presented and pointed out the insignificance from the reality and from the sustainability of cities described by systemic thoughtfulness. This article outlines the numerous projects now underway in Jammu towards the implementation of a smart city, as well as the impediments in their implementations. Since 2015, Indian government has been committed towards developing and constructing 100 Smart Cities under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to address the demands of its fast rising and urbanising population. This endeavour will encompass the creation of new municipalities as well as the augmentation of previously existent setups and renovation of existing cities. Smart technologies powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) can aid in mitigating the threat posed by urbanisation. The concept of smart city implementation in Jammu was included under the smart city banner during the third round of smart cities proposal in 2017-18, so the challenges associated with it along with the significant areas for the build out of smart city Jammu are presented briefly.
