According to my point of view, a smart city is not needed, since most of the people in villages are not computer literate they don't know even how to use the internet, and in villages no facility of internet, signals are very weak. So first of all development of each individual in the county should be done, then only everyone in the country can be at the same level in terms of using smart cities basic components. And one thing also it differentiates one city to other, PM Modi choose only 100 cities, what about other cities, it should be "smart country project". In smart city project, mostly those cities included that are developed at a good level. The cities which are developing, mostly they are not included in this project. This is unfairness of smart city project.

Hi every one,

Yes, we need smart cities.

First of all, what is a smart city?

There is no universal definition of a smart city but will have below.

A smart city is a city having good core infrastructure and clean environment.

Core infrastructure having below things.

1) water management: clean water supply for all people. And identification of leakages.
2) energy management: reproducing power.
3) waste management: we should have waste management technics.
4) mobility management: we need smart parking and intelligent tragic management.

The above is necessary for every citizen so for improving we must need smart cities.

In addition to the above skill development centeres, wifi enables cities and good public transport will play the main role for smart cities.

Hi, Friends.

I would like to say that smart city is needed to develop the country is necessary for better quality of life with lots of facility, amenities and smart city will help to create lots of opportunities for employments and off course it will leads to develop the country but only by making smart cities our country will not be developed, for development of our nation we need to grow together that means we need also to plan for smart village and smart district so that will help to reduce migration rate which is increasing rapidly by nowadays so to control migration we need smart village and that will resolve many problems regarding employment etc. Similar way we need to develop smart each and every part of our country for our development of our country.

Hi,

I think we need smart cities because smart cities provide us the latest technologies and with the latest technology we can do work with less time. With the help of smart cities, there are so many benefits for the city like clean and hygienic and fastest transportation because the government is willing to start the bullets train. What we should not forget our backbone that is the agriculture first we have to develop the villages we can provide them with all latest technology equipment for developing The villages. With the help of smart city is we can compete with the foreign countries as well. With lots of latest technology, we can reduce some working time. With the help of smart cities, it is we Who will get the most benefit of it. It Simplifies our work.

Good day, I accept everyone points. According to my opinion, this not question of whether we need smart city or not. Everyone wants a smart city. No one will say no to that. But their views are first we must improve our villages and then we need to improve our cities. Smart cities is must. We need to upgrade us to next level. There are huge population in our nation, so ours is developing country, we need to improve our city for the benifit of us. In fact we are nowadays becoming a smart city. For eg, water scarcity must be avoided, employment issues must be overcomed, diseases should be cured. We are next generarations. We must improve our country. Make others to feel proud of our country. They need to talk high about our well beings. It is our duty. Thankyou.

Yes, according to me, definitely we need a smart city because of migration from urban to rural area increasing day by day across the world. Urban people are shifting to the rural area for searching employment. If there will be a smart cities so they can easily get employment and there are also so many advantages of smart cities like housing for all, good infrastructure, smart solution etc. But for providing this all things government will have to face lots of challenges. But yes, Before taking any actions government should sort out the basic issue like drainage system, providing good water and some health facilities etc.

If they can be done this things so they can be built strong infrastructure.

And a strong infrastructure can be built numerous smart cities.

Yes, what you all said is correct. In my point of view, the needs of smart cities must come from each and every one behaviour and thoughts. First, we have to reduce completely about the caste feelings in our society. We have to think about our society basically. We have to capture the unnecessary works in our society like teasing girls etc. And we have to solve that problem. So that each and every girl also thinks about our society like boys. Getting smart cities is not important to our society but getting the smartness in every citizen is important. Due to this citizens, we can convert slum areas and poor people into rich. Finally, developing the cities is not like constructing buildings, roads and all. This is nothing but decreasing the poverty completely.

Yes, We need smart cities. Smart cities are in fact a sign of development. There are many advantages of building smart cities, it provides employment, good educational facilities, health care and improves the quality of life. As per estimates around 25-30 people are migrating to cities in search of better life style. So, we need more cities to reduce the problems like overpopulation in already existing cities.

Smart cities also attract foreign companies to invest in India which again creates employment to Indians and the government also gets benefited by the taxes paid by the companies.

Currently, the world is in a digital era and with the current pace the world technology is growing, we Indians can't be left behind in terms of growth and technology.

Hi everyone,

In my point of view, we really need smart cities but for making smart cities we have to cut down trees and also we'll not have farming lands after making smart cities so before making smart cities we should plan to make our cities smart as the way that we can save our trees, lands and our environment because if we lose trees then how we'll fulfil our basic needs like food, fresh air. On the other hand, if we want a better life with good infrastructure, good health facilities, and good education institutions we really need smart cities. For smart cities government's first step should be to make our villages smart because when villages will be smart only then cities can be smart and both of these will make our country smart.

Thank you.

In my point of view, smart cities are needs but not a necessity. First, we want to solve our basic problems which are related to food, shelter, clothes, education, unemployment. When we solve it. It is easy to become the smart city.

Smart cities mean all facilities will be provided in that city. But in present we want to focus on the decrease priority ratio, increase education level which helps us to make our cities smart. When citizens become smart then cities also become smart. There is no need to do special to convert cities into smart cities. All citizens change their view of thinking then our cities start to.

Convert to smart cities.

Hence, I finally conclude that in present no need for smart cities. First, we want to solve basic problems.
