 Abstract-India is on the cusp of technology transformation resulting in adoption of technology. . In this context when we look into the technological advancements, there are various technological tools which are affecting us and one of them is Augmented Reality (AR). Especially in the context of smart city initiative of the Indian Government, upcoming technologies like AR play a vital role for development of the smart city infrastructure. Hence the objective of this study is to conceptualize a model for smart city infrastructure from perspective of 4 pillars of smart city planning viz: Mobility, Connectivity, Security and Sustainability. The paper adopts a narrative literature review based approach in order to arrive at a conceptual model on the basis of evaluation, and analysis of literature on the topic under investigation in this study. This study has implications for the academicians, practitioners and society at large as it adds to the academic literature on use technology in smart city infrastructure building and the urban planners and government officials can use this technology to improve city services, infrastructure, environment and quality of life of the citizens.
