Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hi Friends, This is Sunil from Tamil Nadu. The Smart city is required if everyone in the country enjoys the basic necessity like a job, good healthy food, shelter, etc. America introduced smart city and they were successful but in India, it's completely a different scenario.

Farmers are suffering without adequate water and a lot of farmers were committed suicide.

A lot of agricultural lands are converted into residential lands in the real estate business which killed 20% of agriculture land.

Instead of forming a smart city, Government should focus on farmers and agriculture. They have to introduce schemes and provide a subsidy to the development of agriculture and ensure farmers are getting adequate water. The government need to develop village and provide free education and medical treatment to all the poor people in the village. If the government is not focusing on the farmers and agriculture lands then we need to import vegetables, rice and wheat from other countries. The government should invest in agriculture instead of forming smart city which is not necessary for India at present.

Hai all.

My opinion is we don't need the smart cities. But we are in need of green city and green villages. Because lot of our agricultural practices are destroying due to the transformation of our life style and food style. Smart city makes the people updated and modern but the green city and green village make tha people disease free.

Hence people should aware of creating green village and green city rather than to think for smat city.

I don't think we need smart cities, we actually need ethically and morally based cities where people not only enhance tech. But encourage family and society. We must not become only example of technologically, structurally or economically advance but above that we must be known as an example of humanity, prosperity and unity. I don't want a digitized place to live I need a place where people are friendly, those who are assigned to work must do there work with dedication and sincerity like in markets, post offices, police station, railway station, hospitals etc.

Yes, we need smart cities but maybe later. For now, we need to develop small cities and villages rather than building smart cities. There are many villages which at this age of technology don't have 24 hours electricity and also they don't have a reliable education system. There are still places which have a shortage of drinking water. Not only this, there are lots of problems which people are suffering on daily basis. So before smart cities, we need to update our current situation and maybe after 5-6 years, we will ready for that.

Yes, I really need smart cities because of today's technology was change. Many people depends on different different smart technologies.

Smart city mission was launched by our honourable Prime minister in 2015 to develop 100 cities across the country as smart cities.

In my opinion, it is one of the correct step taken by our PM.

The smart city will be equipped with all the facilities that anyone needs.

It will enhance FDI which boost up Indian economy. It will help India to become a developed nation.

Hello my friends,

My name is Sakshi Agrawal, and I am from Jabalpur.

In my opinion, we don't need of smart city we need of safe city where girls they can travels easily without any fear. We don't need of bullet train we need of good education we need of good compartment we need of safe life then after of this our country will automatically make a smart city.

As we know the people how to live in the village they don't know about the ceaseless traction they don't know how to use of internet and then our government work only in cities. They want to make metro cities so without develop village it cannot be possible.

So in my opinion, first we need smart education and safe city not smart city.

Hi, friends, Good afternoon, I'm Mahesh, I'm from Visakhapatnam city.

In my point of view, we want really need smart cities, our government should start from rural areas after then developing cities. When cm come to our city, at that time our city should be clean, when cm goes to the city, our city is casual. So that, our government should from villages later to develop our country. The Smart city is to provide good education system and to reduce the illiteracy, then only our country will become a smart city.

Yes, we do need Smart cities because.

1. A smart city would have good transportation infrastructure, proper solid and liquid waste management, isn't this we want in our cities.

2. A smart city concept is a target, which creates the potential for investment which ultimately results in the creation of jobs.

3. Considering the sheer volume of migration from villages to cities, our cities are not equipped to hold such number which results in the slum, traffic problems, overcrowded hospitals, schools, so smart cities are a must.

Hi, I am Ritu.

In my opinion, We need to focus to make a smart person instead of making a smart city. When people get a high education, proper basic facility, all the banking facility, internet facility, all-time electricity. Then he called as a smart citizen. And that type of people not only creates a smart city but also make a smart country.
