Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hello, one and all!

In my point of view, India requires smart cities but not as much as the majority crowd requires shelter food and clothing. If we talk about facts and figures, about 70 % of the total Indian population do not have their own houses, 40% of the total population do not make enough for food and about 50% of the total population cannot afford to have the kind of clothing one requires for comfortable living (average quality clothing). Food, clothing, and shelter are the three basic human needs.

I think catering with these problems firs should be the priority of Indian government. Once these necessities are fulfilled, then the Government should definitely look forward to infrastructural developments like smart cities.

Yes, definitely we need smart cities as the main reason that we are striving these days is getting a good and better society. All the schemes and development programs like digitization is to see India as a smart one. This achievement cannot be sentenced in one form, the overall development of country leads to emerging of smart cities. And smart city in terms mean a technical and creative type of city, first of all to have these type of cities we need to develop many other things like good roads, developing villages, creating 100% employment and so on. If we see these changes, automatically the next step is creation of smart city by itself. And developed countries itself mean having smart cities. So definitely we need smart cities.

Yes, we need smart cities. But first in my opinion, the government should start from the rural areas. Like concentrating on improving their basics need s of free education, electricity and health facilities. They should manage the both. Because its not like we should only concentrate on the rural areas because it is backward. Improving and developing the the urban into smart city is as well as important. This encourages smart people to be smarter and these people should, in turn, help the rural area and village people like to get smart through their contribution and coordination. Its not alone the government. There should me NGO s involvement in solving people s issues and the college students should also help as much as they can.

According to my opinion, yes sir, wee need smart cities. Because now a days water logging in our cities is a red hot topic in our society. Water logging occurs because of lack of infrastructure and lack of future planning. Due to illegal construction. Government has brought a great idea of smart cities, where ignited mind of our country will think to make our cities smarter.

Now I want to talk about cyclone fani, which has completely destroyed our city, blackout remains 12 days in our city, but in smart cities electricity comes from underground, so by that during natural disaster we will enjoy electricity recklessly.

In smart cities we will get 24*7 internet connectivity across the city. Our people can stay connected with world.

Hello, guys, I am M Shruti and my point of view is that yes we need smart cities. But after reading this topic the first question that comes to our mind is what is a smart city? The Smart city is basically a fully developed area with good facilities for health, education, and transportation. The Smart city also means a developed area with well-constructed roads and well transportation along with good health, education & cleanliness. We need smart city so as to develop our country along with developing the world. The Frist thing to develop our India or to cities of India smart city, we need to educate & train people what are the advantages of a smart city. And how can people contribute in making cities of India smart city.

According to me, thedevelopment of smart cities has both pros and cons i. E, coming to pros smart cities gives scope to education, hospitals, transportation, needs for enjoyment like parks, greenery and so many, this helps the people who are living in cities and also in towns to lead their life.

But, Coming to cons, I would like to bring a point that for making or developing smart cities we need land for construction which indirectly effects the farmers who are really serving hard to run there life.

Hence I conclude that development of smart cities should start from villages by making use of agriculture machinery, electricity, water facilities. And their basic needs. Then we can dream and succeed for smart cities, smart India.

Hi everyone.

Yes, we do need smart cities because smart cities will attract the foreign investors to invest in our country by this our economy gets a huge boost by this we will have more employment oppurtunities by this there will be reduction in poverty. By this we can become a developed nation soon. But it also has some demerits such as only smart cities won't workout. Our people should be smarter enough to cope up with these cities. So I suggest government to take initiative to implement skill development programmes where an individual can improve his/her skill. I believe that one can become smarter with his/her own skills. So making our nation and our people simultaneously smarter would give us better results.

Thank you.

Yeah, we all need smart city because in my point of view smart city means where 24*7 electricity available, good connectivity and networking and good education facilities all are present that a smart city.

I agree some problem in city mean problem is population and pollution. But in India not only thin about smart city think about creating a more job and private investment because I also think any place where jobs and company are available this place is also converted is a city. I give one example all my friend some year ago build an engineering college in my town and today time this area is more beautiful in any place in town that's because of connectivity and networking and this collage creating more jobs in a local people.

No, we don't. We can keep all our inventions and discoveries in big science parks, museums and land but we don't actually need them in our daily lives. They spoil the natural things gifted by God. We begin to forget about nature and run behind our Wants not Needs. And definitely, these things are not needed. We become selfish and do this because we want an easy life and become couch potatoes but we don't think about the plants and animals around us. Love in natural environment you will never get bored and will be disease free no need for wasting money on curing diseases. We need to take things sadly. We need to get our country on the path of development but also should be able to reserve what we cannot get again and again.

Hello friends,

Yes, we need smart cities, but we need to understand that there is an increase in the gap between skill people and non-literate one. We can used high speed internet but another side the labour worked day night to established the optical cable project. This people can't able to full field their basic needs. Of course we have to adapt new technologies. Evolution is necessary but everyone can able to be a part of this change is very important. Smart city projects are good but at least every people working on this project should get benefits from it. One person is not able to make a change but if every person help at least a person to enhance their life then we definitely able to make a change.

Thank you!
