WSJ's view on Amaravati - New ‘Smart City’ Hatches Solutions to India’s Urban Chaos


Recommended Posts

AMARAVATI, India—The government planners now dreaming up India’s first “smart city” realize they have a problem.

To solve it they are planning to dispatch a fleet of drones, bury the power grid and link a biometric database to every square foot of land here in India’s newest state capital.

The problem is that none of India’s modern-day planned cities have lived up to their hype. Instead, they have succumbed to slums, crowding and chaos.

The visionary behind this new city is N. Chandrababu Naidu, the state’s chief minister. He helped transform the state’s previous capital, Hyderabad, into a high-tech hub. Over the years he has fraternized with Bill Gates and was an early adopter of new technologiessuch as video streaming, which he uses to keep up-to-date with village-level chiefs and remote projects.
