SMART City Initiative

A strategic vision shapes a preferred future for a city. A successful vision has

economic, spatial, social and environmental dimensions that reflect city’s unique

physical and cultural traits. It provides direction for the activities of the Urban Local

body, citizens and stakeholders, and ensures that citizens, city agencies, and

stakeholders are working towards those shared sub-goals. The city vision captures

what your city can be in the future, with the transformation being generally achieved

within a ten to twenty year time-frame. The vision statement should inspire your city’s

residents and can even become the branding for your smart city. Rourkela invites all its

residents to participate in smart city vision statement competition for “Smart City

Rourkela”.
