3.(i)Making sure that the poor children are getting good quality education will reduce the gap.(ii)Enabling proper audit system to check out that physical labor gets their original salary will reduce the gap between the rich and poor.Most of the time the middlemen are benefiting instead of the poor.This makes poor again poor.(iii)Special savings schemes could be established for the poor.Most of the time, the poor people who earns money through physical tough works spends their wages on alcohols.

first of all every smart city should be a green city to provide people with eco friendly enviornment,then there should be dustbins at regular distances.toilets should be made of state of art infrastructure and should be maintained properly.if industrial sector is permitted then there should be a very strict checking that they should not create pollution or release chemical effluents in rivers.
