Do we really need Smart Cities?

Yes, definitely we need smart cities but before doing this, first we have to balance the rural, semi-urban areas in the sense of employment, basic living needs, their democracy, education to all etc unless being a smart city results in poor economic development which differentiate many destabilizations among rural, So I think this development will promote the self-confident and creates a better economy.

As per my opinion, we all want smart city but this is not right time to do work on smart city. First we have to develope rural area and make village like city. Make basic need available for common man. First Make our city educated and clean and also make medical. Facility easy then automatically our city become smart city at right time. Step by step we have to improve our facility.

In my opinion, the smart city is a good idea especially for our developing country India. But before that it would be nice to use that money to create employment opportunities in rural areas, providing basic necessities for people, conducting workshops for people in rural areas to help them get aware of the opportunities available for them to grow their business. I think that this is necessary to provide equality for the growth of all areas so that the dream of creating smart city can be achieved without conflict among people.

Hii.

We have been provide topic to really need smart city, let me tel you yes we need smart cities because of the India is developing country and the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam vision is 20-20. Its very useful for that vision. First of all, we need to rural area become smarter. In rural area has no idea about smart cities. Smart city means not only city becomes smart our country want to be become developed country then we need to developed our rural area. One most important thing is remove the corruption from our country because of corruption, it can't possible.

Hello friends, my name is Manali. And in my opinion, yes, of course, we need smart cities as India is a developing country. But I think not now, and after 4-5 years. Because before that we should think to developed those areas where people are still leaving on the footpath and alongside to tracks and we should give some contribution to developed those children who sell something in trains or at signals and they not go to schools. When all the people will be enough capacity to live in their own house n when no one will beg to live their life then only we should move to smart cities. Because then only our country is called developed and not when only some part of it is developed.

To make smart city is an good idea but to live in that city makes challenging to the middle class people. Firstly, the government ought to focus on to provide basic needs of human to the society; till now in some regions of the country, there is no electricity, gas connection and water supply. In our India, most of the people depend on agriculture, they struggle but they don't get their value of the product. Some of the people of our country struggles for these basic needs, if it will full fill then it becomes smart city itself.

According to my point of view firstly government should be focused in the rural areas because in the rural areas they are facing lots of problem like transportation or electricity after then government also think about the providing the facility like good infrastructure, hospitalization, water, and electricity supply so we need the smart city.

Yes, we really need a Smart City. But there should not be developing in the urban areas only. The village should be developed.

I will give one example. Suppose I am staying in the village and I want to get higher education but unfortunately I'm not able to go to urban areas because of financial situation. So I think whatever there is in urban areas, it should also be in rural areas. So poor peoples can take advantages. Lastly, I want to say If we want smart city then, first of all, we need to develop our village.

We are living in the 21st century and still, we are facing the problem of farmer suicide, rape on small girls, reservation, etc. I am not opposing smart cities but basic needs to be completed before developing something.

So, that people will become smart and it will help for smart cities also to maintain it.

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.
