Abstract
Smart City is often considered as an all inclusive city integrating various aspects of Quality of Life of the people. However, unless it is planned and managed through Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) some of its socio-economic and spatial issues can be left behind in the development process. Through a case study of Hubli-Dharwad City in Karnataka, this paper shows how the poverty hot spots are left behind though many innovative programmes are carried out in the city. It points out the need to introduce SDI in Indian Cities as an essential part of Smart City building process.
