Do we really need Smart Cities?

Yes, I completely agree with Twinkle24.

At present we actually don't need smart cities till all our Indian citizens get their basic requirements, but on the other hand, we do need the smart cities in our country to cope up with world race and to uplift our Indian prosperity. But without education, building a smart city would be a huge mistake, the people in the rural areas don't even have education and proper understanding of today's technology.

But, yes, we do can build smart cities in our country, but only after the rural people get completely educated.

So this was my point of view in having a smart cities in our country.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, here I am against on the topic. In my view, I don't think we really need smart cities. Smart cities include a good internet connection, speedy trains, high education and cashless payment. India is the country where people are not able to fulfil their basic necessities. They are not able to get *ROTI KAPDA MAKAN* without this what they will do of all these high facilities. Our country doesn't need bullet train but it needs safe or more compartments. People in village don't have money to fulfill their needs how they will transfer money digitally from where they will be able to get money for internet connection and smart phones. This smart city concept will not be fully successful till our country is not fully educated. Without education how they will be able to operate high technology gadgets. In my view, I think the smart city is not the need of the hour but basic necessities are need of the hour.

In My point of view, smart cities concept is not useful. Our Indian economy totally depends on agriculture if we attend to only cities then a big gap will happen so we should implement first all required things for rural areas, then rural areas to people not will come to cities they come only just to earning. If government implement smart village program then definitely India will be developed. Lots of peoples are not aware of the skills and hence a big requirement for the smart village and not for smart cities.

Hello,

Yes, we need smart cities to grow with the world but the basic necessities should be fulfilled first i,e. There should public toilets and many more. Smart cities should be developed but not at the cost of farming. Most of the people in India reside on farming.

Yes, Ofcourse, I need smart cities because it shows many things like;

It indicates the development of the country. Due to this lot of modern facilities increase, No of jobs increases, Awareness of people increases.

Yes, we really need smart city because if we develop our society well we will get good output from people but their activates and all they will develop themselves & their upcoming generation too. If we will not develop our cities then our future generation will be same so. Do take a step slowly stairs will be completed by own.

Certainly not now, May be 10 years later when our India is really equipped for such development as of now there is a lot of improvements and developments should be made in our education, environment, human resource development and unemployment. Firstly India has to put steps in improving the quality of life for each and every individual all over India and when we feel that we all become smarter we definitely need a smart city to equip us, but still we are not there and we need to travel a lot more to reach there.

Hello everyone.

Smart cities are the cities which are developed in terms of human capital, Infrastructure, technology, socially. From my point of view yes definitely we need smart cities but before that we need to be crime free, be open minded because with problems we can't be perfect so base need to be strong.

Yes we need smart cities. But before that we need smart people. We should invest more in education, Human Resource Development irrespective of cities or villages. Politicians are using youth power for their benefits, not for India's future. They are radicalising youth, jobless youngsters are used for this purpose, The quality of education is very poor, unemployment is comman, we must address these issues 1st.

In my point of view, ban rape, give education to transgenders, use public toilets, first Improve the smartness then develop the smart city.
