Abstract	India is in a state of significant urban transition and transformation, which has resulted in the share of the urban population increasing from 18% in 1960 to 31% in 2011. It is expected that this growth would further accelerate, centred around cities, which are the existing centres of economic, social and urban importance. Recognizing the significance of cities in its future, the Government of India (GoI), in June 2015, launched the Smart Cities Mission (SCM), which focuses on the sustainable and inclusive development of Indian cities. This research aims to assess and analyse the synchronisation achieved between the two global treaties namely Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11) and New Urban Agenda (NUA) and SCM, twenty months post the commencement of SCM. The research analyses secondary data from existing SCM statements and guidelines and assesses them with respect to SDG 11 and NUA. Subsequently, it focuses on top nineteen cities under SCM. The research examines synergies between SDG 11, NUA and SCM, benchmarks the achievements and lacunae of the mission in pursuit of developing safe, resilient and sustainable cities. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG.
