Model Answer:

Why there is a need for Local spatial developmental plans for the successful implementation of Smart City Mission.? Discuss.

There are various challenges for urban development that is why Local spatial development plans are needed.

1) Cities are governed by multiple organization and authorities which have their own jurisdiction .This result in their sub-division into planning.
2) None of these are co-terminous generating a maze of boundaries.
3) It deters effective planning and governance.For ex- in Delhi there is the rule of Two in local area development .

Suggestion:

1)Minimum organization set up to bring multiple agencies on a common platform to determine a metropolitan wide strategy for planning and implementation.
2) Apply or adopt world’s best practices like in Singapore.

Thus in India the Smart cities mission , an initiative meant to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people , calls for appropriate local spatial development plans.
