India Government’s National Smart Cities Mission aims to transform cities into sustainable environments but faces challenges with rapid urbanization leading to frequent urban flash floods. The shift to green infrastructure—such as green roofs, bioretention cells, permeable pavements, and bioswales—addresses these issues by enhancing stormwater management, reducing runoff, and improving groundwater recharge.
These digital and innovative solutions align with sustainable urban development goals, improving environmental resilience and urban livability. Embracing green infrastructure is crucial for creating resilient urban spaces and effectively managing the impacts of urbanization.
