“Smart cities are resilient cities”. Parag Agarwal says as population growth brings challenges to cities, new visions and fusions of emerging technologies will revolutionise the way we live and work in cities.

The goal of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to create 100 new smart cities in India. The first one, Dholera, will be ready by 2020. These cities should be resilient: they should be able to promptly react to every social and economic challenge and to any possible emergency situation.
