Context:

Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, spoke of his country’s Smart City Challenge, something that has been inspired by India.

Canada’s Smart City Challenge:

According to Amarjeet Sohi, the way the challenges work is to call municipalities to identify problems and then use technology to solve these problems.
Further, viable projects can be funded.
Canada’s Smart Cities Challenge aims to find the city that possesses the boldest, most experimental, inclusive, empowering, and digitally transformative ideas in the country.
