“A Smart city cannot be smart without art and culture.” : Jyotsna Suri

Smart Cities project must look into incorporating creative arts, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said today.

“If the city is not focusing on cultural aspects, it will create lopsided efforts,” Kant was quoted as saying by industry body Ficci in a media release.

It said Kant also suggested a review of the educational system for the young people in the country so that they are exposed to arts and culture and learn to appreciate these aspects of life.

Ficci in collaboration with E&Y released the first Creative Industries Report.
