research that intends to investigate the idea of a knowledge city, create knowledge city frameworks that may be applied to developing countries, and assess Mysore's status as a knowledge city. This study's knowledge city index (KCI) structure is presented in this article, along with an analysis of Mysore's standing as a knowledge city based on KCI's indicators. Reviews of previous research on the idea of knowledge cities as well as various measurements, indices, and statistics on Mysore City's historical and present intellectual capital were included in the study. Based on the preliminary results, this study concludes that Mysore can be positioned as a knowledge city and that it can transition to a knowledgebased economy by concentrating on the right areas. This will allow the city to maintain its rich cultural legacy while simultaneously promoting socioeconomic development. Key Words: knowledge-based development in India; intellectual capital of cities; knowledge city; sustained urban development; knowledge city framework; knowledge city index; KCI.
1.INTRODUCTION The goal is to turn the cities that make up these countries into hubs for knowledge-based economies. This is why countries are concentrating more on becoming information societies or knowledge economies. A knowledge economy is one that prioritizes the creation and utilization of knowledge for financial gain (Knowledge Economy, 2010). Carrillo ('The MAKCi Awards', 2010) provides a more precise definition of a knowledge city as one in which the local population uses a balanced and sustainable method to identify and grow their capital system.
Fig -1: Geographical location of the city of Mysore The study and results of a project that is now underway to create a framework comprising the essential characteristics of a knowledge city in the context of developing countries, like India, are presented in this article. Mysore will be analyzed and placed according to these indicators. Important components that raise a city's knowledge value were determined and organized by including them into the suggested framework. This paper's subsequent parts outline the framework created, the knowledge city index (KCI), and make an assessment of Mysore's standing as a knowledge city.
This implies that the populace actively participates in the city's growth. Mysore, a city in Southern India that was once the capital of the Wodeyar-ruled Kingdom of Mysore, is wellknown for its towering architecture, wide, shaded avenues, rich legacy, exquisite palaces, exquisitely designed gardens, and revered temples. Mysore's position in relation to other Indian cities is indicated by its ranking as the second biggest city in the state of Karnataka. It is renowned across the world for its luxurious silk and exotic sandalwood. Its regal palaces,
