- Ministry of State for Housing and Urban Affairs has launched several new initiatives under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and the Smart Cities Mission.
- These included the
- India Smart Cities Fellowship (ISCF) Program;
- India Smart Cities Internship (ISCI) Program;
- Smart Cities Digital Payments Awards 2018; and
- ‘CITIIS’ Challenge under the Smart Cities Mission.
- The Ministry also announced the implementation of the Local Area Plan (LAP) or Town Planning Scheme (TPS) in 25 cities on pilot basis under the AMRUT.
- The Local Area Plan (LAP) and Town Planning Scheme (TPS) have been formulated under the AMRUT to enable planning for developing infrastructure in the Brownfield areas and Greenfield areas.
- The Brownfield areas are those parts of the city that are already developed but not able to sustain the pressure on the existing infrastructure.
- On the other hand, the Greenfield areas are located at the periphery of the city which is prone to haphazard growth and development.
