Abstract
The following chapter tries to pay attention to the spatial dimension of smart living projects in India. Geospatial Planning is a comparatively new terminology in the spatial planning dictionary of the Indian urban scenario, just like the terms smart planning and smart cities are. Although there is no clear delineation between smart living and smart city projects in India, characteristics of the Smart Cities Mission are in consonance with the ideologies of smart living. The chapter first tries to understand the key values underpinning the concept of smart living and delineates it through the terms interconnectedness, sustainability and mobility (both social and physical in nature). It tries to then identify how geospatial tools help manifest these values of smart living and an elaborate network of indicators is identified. This network of indicators lays the foundation for evaluating geospatial smart living projects in New Delhi.
