Abstract Mankind is currently encountering increased urbanization. The world is moving much faster with ease of access to anything and everything toward a status called smart. India, a diverse nation, is one of the fast developing countries in the world. The continuous achievement through computer literacy in popular fields espe­cially in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has motivated the country to plan for smart city development. However, the concept of smart city aims for a luxurious development which is going to be more computer compe­tency and expensive. The concept of smart cities tends to provide technological advantage to its population, but it is imperative to look its effect on certain segments of the society, especially the underprivileged in terms of their accessibility and affordability. Moreover, the understanding of the concept of smart city development has made the researchers to think aloud the possible factors of providing resilience and sustainable development for the underprivi­leged eradicating discrimination, inequality, and injustice. Therefore, the main objective of this conceptual chapter is to glean ideas and suggestions regarding resilient, inclusive, and sustainable smart city development. This chapter will explore, through statistical information, models and best practices for disaster- resilient smart cities for the underprivileged. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
