The primary goal of a Smart Cities Mission is the advancement in economy, improving the quality of life, incorporating smart technology by enabling the local area development and for the benefit of local people. The same applies to any other historical cities which are aiming for a future smart city. In this case Udupi, a temple city and a pilgrim abode for the population of South India has been in the list of Smart City Proposal and prioritised as the part of the Mission. The historical background of Udupi and its temples dates back to the 4th Century C.E. and the city treasures approximately 1600 temples. The place is famous for its enshrining temple of Lord Krishna and located geographically between the coast of Arabian Sea and foothills of Sahyadri Hills (Western Ghats). The study focus on the opportunities in the tourism sector by documenting the various temples and cultural sites with a spatial linkage plan for the unique cultural landscape of Udupi city. This will include the field based study of the existing tourism infrastructure available and evaluate the potential of integrated smart planning strategies to obtain a synergistic outcome. The paper intends to provide a structural basis for recommendations on smart infrastructure management on economic revitalisation, environment protection of the place and tourism experience of cultural landscapes.
