Evaluating and Forecasting the Maturity Level of Smart Cities
摘要
In 2015, India launched the Smart Cities Mission, aiming to develop 100 cities using ICT to improve the quality of life, economic growth, and sustainability in urban areas. However, even after 10 years, it is still unclear whether these cities have truly become smart. In this paper, we propose a smart city evaluation using a maturity model to understand a city’s existing conditions. This paper will evaluate the maturity level of 15 Indian cities using the Garuda Smart City Model (GSCM). As a result, we identify that the cities in India are not yet smart. Most of the results indicate that the cities are at the scattered level. Additionally, we proposed a maturity-prediction equation to estimate a smart city’s future maturity score. This prediction equation was applied to estimate future scores through 2035 under three growth scenarios.
