We sure know a city, but how is a “smart city” different? So far, Dholera was a small town in Gujarat. Now, it is being developed into a city using technology. So, what is this Dholera Smart City project all about?
The Indian branch of SmartHomes Infrastructure Pvt Ltd has initiated this project. In order to serve consumers & real estate companies, it will use information technology (IT).
So, if you’re looking for a home, you can look for the best plot available at your budget and buy it. Likewise, a real estate broker gets to earn a great deal out of the transaction too.
Let’s see what’s more on the plate.
