| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | ADB's urban program focuses on expanding the coverage, quality, and continuity of inclusive basic services while embracing the principles of resilience and efficiency. The TA promotes convergence with government's flagship Smart Cities Mission, and will provide provide direction to the urban local bodies in developing well-planned cities which are livable and sustainable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and resilient to climate-change-related risks. The TA builds from ADB's country partnership strategy, 2013 -2017 for India, which supports (i) energy efficiency, (ii) sustainable transport systems, and (iii) efficient and sustainable water management, including advice on policy and institutional reforms. | ||||
