Abstract Sustainable development has emerged as the vital component of urban planning and public policy frameworks due to global challenges of rising urbanization, environment pollution, global warming and unprecedented climate changes like heat waves, snow storms and flashfloods. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals paradigms aim to promote smart, resilient and sustainable urban socio-economic infrastructure, use of retro-fitting techniques, shift towards solar and other renewable energy resources and exploration of innovative and sustainable mechanisms for delivery of public services. The Government of India's 'Smart City Mission', a flagship urban development initiative aims to develop few selected cities through rebuilding eco friendly basic infrastructure, development of housing facilities, waste management facilities, roads and lanes, and increasing green and open spaces in the urban landscape. This paper analyzes the impact of Srinagar Smart City Mission on promotion of sustainable development, resilient infrastructure and use of smart and sustainable technologies for public services in the Srinagar city of Jammu & Kashmir. The paper is based on comprehensive analysis of the data collected from fifty respondents including common citizens, academicians and administrative practitioners, by using open-ended questionnaire technique .The findings revealed poor public satisfaction about the impact of the Srinagar Smart City Mission on development of eco friendly and resilient infrastructure in the city. It also highlights the sluggish use of innovative and smart technological interventions for public service delivery and need to mitigate challenges of rising water pollution and air pollution in the region.
