expected to contain the model chosen (Retrofitting /
Redevelopment / Greenfield Development or a mix thereof,
and additionally include a Pan-City dimension with Smart Solutions).
An evaluation criteria for the SCPs has been worked out by MoUD
based on professional advice and this should act as guidance to
the cities for preparing their proposal.
