Abstract: Abstract Urban areas are experiencing a rapid increase in their population. According to the UN, it is anticipated that by 2050, over 72% of the global population will reside in cities. Indian companies contemplating socially responsible activities outside than traditional CSR projects might help India’s urban development as public–private partnerships and huge enterprises get increasingly active in constructing smart cities around the nation. CSR has grown in importance as stakeholders require that businesses do more than just make a profit; they also need to improve society and the ecosystem. Within this framework, the term “smart cities” represents a new approach to urban planning that leverages data and technology to enhance the quality of life for inhabitants, while simultaneously reducing the environmental effects of urbanization. This study proposes a framework of enablers that encourage urban development via corporate engagement and socially responsible behavior. The research shows how important government support for information technology is and how smart communities can aid a nation in achieving urban development.
