Today, the country sits at the cusp of transformation, primarily led by the need for modern living, technology and cultural urban migration. Spotlighting the journey of a national initiative that is aiming to transform Indian cities, National Geographic today announced a documentary titled, \u2018The Next Frontier: India\u2019s Smart Cities<\/strong>\u2019. The documentary meticulously chronicles the journey of four lighthouse Smart Cities to highlight the importance of ground-breaking innovation to build a stronger nation.<\/p>\n

The 44-minute film will focus on four cities (Surat, Visakhapatnam, Pune and Varanasi) as they present exemplary initiatives and lead the way in various spheres including\u00a0inter alia<\/em>: infrastructure, transportation, technology, renewable energy, and restoration and preservation of ancient heritage.
