The past two decades of globalisation have reshaped the way urban environments are perceived. The concept of ‘smart cities’ has pioneered digitalisation and digital innovation to model ‘ideal’ and ‘efficient’ urban smart cities. A city can be defined as being smart when it uses digital tools to substantially enhance efficiency for public services, utilise innovative and disruptive technology for creating and delivering services to citizens. In a developing country like India, robust digitalisation assumes paramount importance because it has become critical to deliver growth and wellbeing. The present primary data based survey study aims to investigate the level of satisfaction of different socio-economic backgrounds about the availability and quality of IT Connectivity and Digitalisation which caters to the needs of the residents of Chandigarh as well as its surrounding regions. The present concludes that the pre-existing digital infrastructure in Chandigarh needs to be upgraded and overhauled to fulfil the pre-requisites of a Smart City.
