This book brings together technical expertise, best practices, case
studies and ground-level application of the ideas for empowering
the rural population of the world to live economically prosperous,
environmentally sustainable, and socially progressive lives, on par
or comparable with the quality of life enjoyed by the global urban
population. The idea of Smart Villages takes on greater urgency in
light of the investments made in this millennium on "Smart Cities",
taking advantage of the technological advances, particularly in
digital connectivity. These investments have and will continue to
expand the urban-rural divide, unless similar investments are made
in the villages as well. The book provides a much-needed guide for
a holistic development of a Smart Village, by defining the need,
developing the framework, and describing the delivery, complete
with successful case studies. Contributors to the book, from
Canada, USA, Africa and India bring years of academic, industry and
governmental experience, including organization of several Smart
Village conferences. The knowledge base in the book will be of
great value to anyone interested in or active in rural planning,
including governmental and non-governmental organizations,
industrial solution providers, public healthcare professionals,
public policy professionals and students, as well as rural
communities around the world. Consolidates all the aspects of
creating/developing a Smart Village; Delivers an effective tool-kit
for practitioners in the area of Smart Villages; Provides a
policy-based framework for the development of an ideal Smart
Village; Illustrates, through case studies, the fulfillment of key
requirements of a Smart Village; Brings together experts from
around the world to share their vision of a Smart Village;
