About SMART- Government of India through Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is
MOVE implementing National Smart Cities Mission, an urban renewal program with an
objective to develop smart cities across the country, making them citizen
friendly and sustainable. The mission is being implemented in more than 100
cities in India and data is playing a key role in making plans and strategies for
these smart cities.
Building on the National Smart Cities Mission, GIZ and National Institute of
Urban Affairs (NIUA) is supporting MoHUA in organizing SMART MOVE:
Innovative Urban Mobility Challenge, a global urban mobility challenge to
address mobility challenges faced by Indian cities. The data challenge is outlined
considering the Government of India’s efforts to become Aatma Nirbhar (self-

The main objective of the challenge is to develop solutions for enhancing
innovation in urban mobility by taking the current situation as an opportunity to
 improve urban mobility system and to help public transport’s and freight
recovery from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis using big data.
The challenge will help improving the accessibility and mobility of people and
goods by unlocking the potential of urban mobility datasets. Under the
challenge, we are looking for an innovative solution in the urban mobility sector
that can help cities with offering a safe, sustainable, efficient and smart urban
transport systems.
