| Abstract |
Porto is the second-largest city of Portugal followed by Lisbon. In March 2015 Porto became one of the 'beacon cities' under Grow Smarter innovative by the European Commission to promote smart cities in the European Union[1]. From there it has transformed itself into one of the major smart city in Portugal which has also bolstered its tourism industry. Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state of Gujarat and the first Indian city to be conferred with the title of UNESCO World Heritage city in 2017. With this title, Ahmedabad hopes to become a major tourist destination in the western part of India. Both Porto and Ahmedabad are on their way to become smart cities in the future and by doing so they can increase tourism and their standard of living in the coming future. (C) 2019 The Authors.
