Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation has chosen AECOM India to assist it in winning a place in the first phase of India's 'smart cities challenge' that will see 20 cities selected for development through "harnessing technology or managerial reforms".

In the competition, All India's states are picking at least one city to compete, with 100 in total vying for funding. In December, a small number - those with "exceptional proposals" - will be named winners by the Ministry of Urban Development. The next 20 will continue in the competition with another chance to win. Proposals have been invited for improving transport and other 'economic infrastructure'.

AECOM will have 100 days to complete the work, after seeing off competition from CRISIL Risk and Infrastructure Solutions with PriMove Infrastructure Development Consultants; Srei Infrastructure Finance and Navayuga Spatial Technologies; and Lea Associates South Asia with Crux Consultants on Monday, The Times of India reported.
