| Abstract | The twenty-first century has been nicknamed the “urban century”, with urban responses to global challenges shaped by “smartness”. Scholars have spent the last several years trying to explain “why, how, for whom, and with what consequences” the smart city paradigm emerges in different urban situations (Evans et al. 2019). The traditional urban development debate focuses on either urban development or sustainable cities and typically ignores people-centred development options. The former addresses economic growth challenges, whereas the latter emphasises environmental considerations at the expense of poor development concerns. India’s urban population of more than 450 million people accounts for less than one-third of the country’s total population. It is anticipated that by 2045, its cities will house 800 million Indians, more than the whole population of modern-day Europe. Cities are now confronted with the escalating negative consequences of society’s unsustainable path. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing geographical segregation are all indicators of this. The repercussions of these issues frequently outpace individual urban house developers’ management abilities. As a result, collaborations such as public-private partnerships (PPP) must be developed to counteract the current neoliberal trend. This chapter examines the flaws and limitations of PPP and its potential to address the problem of unsustainable urban development. However, fundamental differences like difficulties that connect the global sustainability model to the harsh reality of the local environment must first be addressed. The chapter outlines such a vision for sustainable cities in India and actions to achieve it. This gap threatens both the city’s social foundation and its ecological ceiling. The chapter investigates the inherent hurdles that restrict efforts and potential institutional strategies to overcome or avoid them. This chapter’s unified content will assist current researchers and motivate future investigators to integrate SDG-11 in their planned study in India. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023. |
