Co-creating every step (ideas, strategies, innovative and frugal solutions) through an extensive consultative process with all stakeholders is mandated in the Smart Cities Mission Guidelines. The process of co-creation through cooperative-competition started with 'Mera Shehar Mera Sapna' ideas competition launched by Ministry of Urban Development in June 2015. This process was carried out extensively during Smart City Plan preparation by round 1 cities and fast track cities and now needs to be continued during implementation.
To assist the cities in initiating citizen consultation during implementation of Smart City Projects, Ministry of Urban Development has developed guidelines for holding competitions to design Streets & Junctions and Parks.
The competition is called 'Make Your City Smart'.
