Good evening every dignitary.
Smart city are the cites which do not have only financial capabilities but they do have some salient features which will make their city unique. This attribute may entitled features like sewage system, flood drainage system, emergency tactics ETC.
Moreover, a city is not smart as long as the people or citizens residing are not smart. If people are brainless and scatter the waste all around, not respecting the GOVT property it is bond to happen that city will not be smart.

Good evening to one and all.
In my point of view, smart cities surely give development but when? If people are well educated, well matured, well disciplined etc etc. Initially we have to give respect to every woman and we have to treat women is equal to boy why because now a days in every field women's playing crucial role so we need to encourage them and then development will be achieved faster when boys and girls work each other and we have to create some awareness programs for village people and for uneducated people we have to educate them and govt of India should follow strict rules. In foreign countries throwing a paper will also be penalized but in India throwing scrap and splitting on roads is very common we need to change the system if we do these things then surely every city is a smart City in India.

Hello,
In My point of view, smart cities is need of our nation. Smart means all cities are fulfil by all facilities.
The basic needs are cover in smart cities.
1) Food.
2) Shelter.
3) Education.
4) Jobs.
Devloping nation convert into developed nation then smart cities are must for developing nation.
Cities are made smart when citizens are change there view of thinking. When citizens will be smart then cities will be directly convert into smart cities. Then no need of do anything.

Yes! Smart cities are not just a luxury but a necessity for a developing nation. It provides every basic need such as food, water, shelter with well-planned traffic management, sewage, transport facilities, etc. We do need smart cities to well manage the population with the resources that are required in day to day life.

A really interesting feature of smart cities is foreign collaboration. Lots of developed nations are coming and Offering help and experties and technologies in various fields like sanitation, proper waste disposal, traffic.
Controlling, and security. If our government successfully implement the ideas in these smart cities the quality of life will increase. Besides government can later apply all these modern technics in other cities as well.
But building something is easy, what is tough is maintaining. Lots of time we notice there are new infrastructures is built but due to lack of proper maintenance and care those end up in dilapidated conditions.

Yes, we really need smart cities in our country, as it will a major factor in overall development of our country economy growth. WHAT IS SMART CITY?
The place/city where we have access of modern technology easily and ultimately help in evolving human lifestyle. Time will be the most important factor here as access of thing smartly help in saving time and money. Yes I agree that without people mind you cannot afford a successful smart city but at the same time you should also look that as the environment get better people also start getting used to that and hence it would be highly recommended to develop cities into smart cities.

Good afternoon everybody, our GD topic is Do we really need Smart Cities?
Now, Smart Cities these words evoke an imagination of a city in our mind which has high rises, glass buildings with great architecture, intelligent public utilities, less congestion and pollution etc. But before moving to that bright imagination we first need to keep in mind that cities are built for people. Every product or good, ex: a public bus, when its made it remains cleans it looks sharp, all nice. But after a few months the same thing when stained with pan-parag or gutkha. It does not look very smart. So before venturing out to build a smart city, the govt should concentrate on making the people smart by enforcing proper education from a very beginner level and also it should educate the public via mass awareness. Only then we can protect our cities our culture and thus we can live smartly.
The concept of the smart city should rise from within the people who will be using it. Without it, a smart city will also look pale and lame full of half wits.

Hello everyone, we are here to discuss whether our nation "NEEDS" smart cities?
We like to categorize ourselves as a growing nation, with our ambition set to be a global powerhouse.
We take pride in our cultural, technological, and economic achievements, but our cities image is tarnished by poor roads, congested houses, stinky lanes, and unreliable public transportation. This is what we need to change. To be a modern nation, we have to look like a modern nation, and the cities are the places where this can be achieved. Smart cities will not only look great but generate employment and revenues proportionally, it is designed to be an economic and social hub, with cutting edge facilities, what this young generation ambitions for. In my opinion, this is a grand move to change our urban life, one city at a time, making a greener and efficient township.
We have a very young generation coming up, with the largest urbanization move we have ever witnessed, and it's important to have the facilities in place to cater to its ambitions. I earnestly feel this is a stroke in the right direction for overall growth of a region and the nation as a whole.
