A Hybrid Indexing Approach for Sustainable Smart Cities Development Mandvi Misra1 • Deepak Kumar1 Received: 17 April 2020 / Accepted: 7 September 2020 Indian Society of Remote Sensing 2020
Abstract It has become crucial to categorize the complete urban planning scenario for architecturally, socially, and economically viable cities due to irresistible population progression. Urban migratory population from rural to urban has encountered towards sustainable urban planning. Being an issue of argument since earlier decades, the sustainability has always been endeavoured towards development of suitable sustainable indicators for Indian scenarios. The introduction of a smart city concept has provided an open space for development of integrated sustainable hybrid index consisting of the social, economic, and environmental aspects of the system. The current note tries to conceptualize the development, evaluation, and implementation of a new hybrid index for sustainable development considering multi-dimensional indicators. This index can be broadly envisioned to implement three key parameters like social, economic, and environmental components, with an ancillary parameter like citizen perception as a fourth parameter to provide a significant role towards sustainable smart cities. These will assist development of sustainable smart cities and contribution of urban constraints towards rising environmental issues to provide a proposition for implementation of hybrid index as a worthy tool for better sustainable smart cities development.

The migration of the population from rural to urban centres has become a challenge for sustainable urban planning to save the deterioration of land use and land cover (Enoguanbhor et al. 2019). With the increase in population, a customised urban planning is required to ideally shape the cities architecturally, socially, and economically (Yin 2012). Sustainability has always been an issue of conversation since 1987 after Brundtland Commission report, and many efforts were attempted to develop Sustainable indicators, but India did not made any significant contribution towards it (Geissdoerfer et al. 2017; Saez et al. 2020). Thereafter in 2008, some group of researchers from Indira Gandhi Institute of Development and Research, Mumbai, had undertaken a strong step towards establishment of a framework for the development of Sustainable indicators

and to include a model in a three-dimensional view, consisting of ‘‘economic efficiency, social well-being, and ecological acceptability’’ (Nathan and Reddy 2008; Temudo et al. 2020). Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were stated as the global goals, and these were set by the United Nations Members in 2015 to ensure the protection of the plan
