Q1Match List I with List II and select the correct answer. List I: 1. Retrofitting; 2. Redevelopment; 3. Greenfield development List II: P. Vacant area developed from scratch; Q. Existing built-up area upgraded while most structures remain; R. Existing area replaced with a new layout
Retrofitting upgrades an existing built-up area while retaining most structures, so 1-Q. Redevelopment replaces an existing area's layout, so 2-R. Greenfield development starts on vacant land, so 3-P. Therefore, the fully correct matching is 1-Q, 2-R, 3-P.
Q2Which one of the following best describes the coverage and selection method of the Smart Cities Mission?
The mission was not a universal urban grant. Exactly 100 cities were selected through 4 competitive rounds held from January 2016 to June 2018, with city proposals shaped through citizen consultation forming the basis of assessment.
Q3Which one of the following is NOT a model of Area-Based Development under the Smart Cities Mission?
Area-Based Development has 3 models: retrofitting an existing built-up area, redevelopment of an existing area, and greenfield development on vacant land. A universal cash transfer is neither one of these models nor an urban-development strategy of the mission.
Q4Consider the following statements about the Smart Cities Mission: 1. The mission's objective includes core infrastructure, a clean and sustainable environment, and a decent quality of life through smart solutions. 2. The 100 cities were selected through 4 rounds between January 2016 and June 2018. 3. Area-Based Development excludes greenfield development and is limited to existing built-up areas. 4. All 100 cities had incorporated city-level Special Purpose Vehicles. How many of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct: the stated objective combines infrastructure, sustainability and quality of life; 100 cities were selected in 4 rounds from January 2016 to June 2018; and all 100 had city-level vehicles. Statement 3 is false because greenfield development is one of the 3 Area-Based Development models.
Q5Consider the following statements about implementation of the Smart Cities Mission: 1. Each selected city implements projects through a dedicated city-level Special Purpose Vehicle. 2. The Special Purpose Vehicle is a limited company under the Companies Act, 2013. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. Every selected city implements its projects through a dedicated city-level Special Purpose Vehicle, and that vehicle is constituted as a limited company under the Companies Act, 2013. This company form anchors city-level execution and accountability.
