Project Categories

All Patna Smart City Limited’s Projects are divided into two major categories. These are Area Based Development (retrofitting, redevelopment and greenfield development) and Pan City Initiative.

·         Area-based development will transform existing areas (retrofit and redevelop), including slums, into better planned human settlements, thereby, improving livability of the whole cities. Development of well-planned and fully serviced new areas (greenfield) will be encouraged around cities in order to accommodate the rapidly expanding population in urban areas.

·         Pan-city Initiatives involves Smart Solutions covering larger parts of the city. Application of Smart Solutions will enable cities to use technology to improve infrastructure and services.

Comprehensive development in this way will improve quality of life, create employment and enhance incomes for all, especially the poor and the disadvantaged, leading to inclusive cities.
