World Cities Day - Innovative Governance, Open Cities

On this World Cities Day, let us visit the 20 'Smart Cities' selected by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India under the Smart Cities Mission. While the genesis 'Smart Cities' is debatable, let us not get there but one has to address the nature of 'governance' envisaged for these 'Smart Cities' given the theme of Innovative Governance and Open Cities.
