Abstract | Regions are Smart Regions if they are administered, managed and governed well. The regions having large size cities in its core can become smarter with greater emphasis on 3Es i.e. Equity, Effectiveness and Efficiency. Many questions remain unanswered while developing an understanding of inter-dependence and inter-linkage of cities upon regions. These questions are: Are cities sustainable or depend upon larger region for their sustenance? Would the smart city development proliferate the gain to a larger region leading to holistic development? Which parameters and factors help homeless to be part of smart city in the regional context? Is smart a reality or a misnomer for homeless people? How useful is the geospatial approach for identifying homeless people, their condition and to formulate strategies for their wellbeing in the regional context? The paper tries to answer these questions by assessing the conceptual, theoretical and on ground condition of homeless people using smart-based approach by adopting geospatial technology. |
