** The process of co-creation through cooperative-competition seen during the preparation of the Smart City Proposals (SCP) has to be continued during implementation. One way of doing this is by involving citizen in the design of Area-based development such as streets, junctions, parks etc.

** For more complex developments requiring technical expertise in design and development (e.g. riverfront developments, multi-modal transit hubs, multi-level car parks, adaptive reuse of heritage structures etc.), the cooperative-competition may be limited to people with technical skills such as architects/ planners etc. as given in the Architectural Design Competition Guidelines of the Council of Architecture.
