It only takes one great idea to change the lives of 3.4 billion people. That idea is the Smart Village. For people in many parts of the world, removing the barriers holding back their potential doesn't require massive investment in infrastructure; it often requires little more than spreading knowledge and information. When you design innovations the right way, they fuel scalable and sustainable transformation for the economy and environment. People's lives are dramatically changed for the better and forever. The rural villages become Smart Villages in the Smart Village Movement. These villages can very quickly become new realities that unlock undreamed of possibilities for the more than 3.4 billion people around the world. The Road to Mori is the beginning of this journey. Mori, India is the village in South India where Solomon Darwin was born an untouchable. The book follows Solomon as he comes to America and, with drive, perseverance and persistence, moves from his more than humble beginnings to success. First in the corporate world, and then academia as the Executive director of the Haas School of Innovation UC Berkeley. The book is a record of his thoughts about what the idea of a Smart Village, and how it could become a reality. The story chronicles his return to Mori, India -- where he was born an untouchable -- to transform it from a struggling rural community to the first Smart Village in the world. A village where the villager's lives and happiness have been dramatically improved in ways that were previously unimaginable. A village that has become a beacon of hope for struggling rural villages and the 3.4 billion people all over the world.

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; Highlights the importance of balancing development with social/gender equity and cultural traditions.

This book asserts that the goal of smart villages should shift from one of extraction to one of community value creation. To begin this conversation, we examine the smart village discourse, debates in design theory, non-western traditions of innovation, and sustainable development. Through case studies of smart village co-design we offer a way forward. This book is relevant for engineers, social scientists, and development practitioners. The book will be of special interest to those seeking to expand their inquiry into the role of science and technology in low and middle-income countries. Reconstructs the goals of smart villages to a community centric model. Intertwines the concepts of sustainable development and smart villages. Describes case studies achieving local value creation and circulation.

There is ever more research on smart cities and new interdisciplinary approaches proposed on the study of smart cities. At the same time, problems pertinent to communities inhabiting rural areas are being addressed, as part of discussions in contigious fields of research, be it environmental studies, sociology, or agriculture. Even if rural areas and countryside communities have previously been a subject of concern for robust policy frameworks, such as the European Union's Cohesion Policy and Common Agricultural Policy Arguably, the concept of 'the village' has been largely absent in the debate. As a result, when advances in sophisticated information and communication technology (ICT) led to the emergence of a rich body of research on smart cities, the application and usability of ICT in the context of a village has remained underdiscussed in the literature. Against this backdrop, this volume delivers on four objectives. It delineates the conceptual boundaries of the concept of 'smart village'. It highlights in which ways 'smart village' is distinct from 'smart city'. It examines in which ways smart cities research can enrich smart villages research. It sheds light on the smart village research agenda as it unfolds in European and global contexts.]
