Abstract Smart city paradigm is a relatively new one. It involves the application of the digital technology in governing and provisioning of urban services. Information and communication technology, Geographical Information System, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing are commonly used in the smart city solutions. This new paradigm shows immense potential in solving the traditional urban problems and ensuring sustainable urbanization. India has also adopted the smart city mission to achieve sustainable cities and enhances the environmental parameters of the cities. In this background, this chapter attempts to analyse the possible effectiveness of smart cities in promoting sustainable urbaniza-tion in India. In analysing this, West Bengal has been considered as a case study where four smart cities, that is, New Town Kolkata, Bidhannagar, Durgapur and Haldia, has been proposed. Considering the mission proposal for these four cities, it has been observed that smart city would be able to promote sustainable urbanization. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
