Unlocking the full potential of smart cities is an aspiration shared by many, but various challenges hinder this vision. The financial struggles faced by India’s municipalities stand out as a prominent roadblock. To tackle these challenges head-on, NITI Aayog, in collaboration with the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy (Janaagraha) and the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) as knowledge partners, envisioned a workshop. This workshop served as a dynamic platform for state governments and cities to engage in action-oriented discussions. Participants had the opportunity to converse with domain experts from business, academia, and civil society. Over two insightful days on January 11th and 12th, 2018, day one focused on municipal finance, while day two centered around the Smart Cities Mission.
