Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hello, everyone, the question is do we need smart cities?

A Few days ago we read the news about Tejas Express being damaged, headphones were stolen etc. So, the real question is India ready to adapt to the smart environment? At first, the mentality of the people should change, even if we create smart cities, the properties will be damaged and crores of rupees spent to make smart cities will be of no use. So, basic manners should be taught first in each and every school in the country, regarding sanitation, use of dustbin, not spitting etc So, that at least 10 to 15 years down the line our country will become a smart country.

Yes, we need smart cities because currently india's GDP is increasing very rapidly it have been predicted that india's GDP will overtake many country's GDP and will become 3rd largest GDP behind US and China by 2035, so these 15-20 years are for india, during this time India will have to do maximum development and will become a developed country, so this is the high time for making smart cities and according to me India should also focus on developing rural area because there are many villages in India who doesn't have basic facilities like electricity, water etc. So India should work for both smart cities and smart villages.

Hello everyone. My name is Ketan.

Well, yesterday's caves are today's buildings. Yesterday's buildings are today's skyscrapers. And yesterday's cities are today's SMART cities. According to me, every city from time to time must be promoted and upgraded to the next level and same should be done with Indian cities. Cities should be clean, stuffed with modern amenities, facilities and technologies. It boosts the mentality of its residents. Moreover, in this tough competition era, if our cities won't be smart, then some cities of other country can OUT SMART our cities thus slowing down our national progress. What do you all say?

Hi everyone.

Do we need smart cities? my answer is yes because the Indian economy depends mostly on the income that evolved from different organisations situated in a city.

The government has taken a good initiative to invent more cities as smart cities. So it funded several crores of money to change many cities into smart cities but the money is changing hands to hands. Finally, the money which the leaders spent for development of smart cities is very low.

We really need smart cities because the growth of a country depends on the smart cities. There are a lot of employee chances for the youth as well as people of a city.

According to me, smart cities are only effective if people get equal benefits from it. Corruption being the most important obstacle can be damaged by creating smart cities as there will be less man work in the middle and most of the things will be directly handled by the companies themselves. The smart cities mean getting proper educational institutions, health institutions, hospitals, etc. Monitoring the cities digitally will also reduce the security threats and the fear of getting cheated by a person.

I would like to conclude by saying that smart cities are required for the growth and betterment of people in the country.

Hello, guys.

From my point of view, all of us wants that our city to be smart. But as we know that India is a developing country and major population of a country is illiterate. If the city is smart it is a waste for the major population. Because village people today don't know how to operate a smartphone. So as my point of view it is useless to make city smarter first.

First step to literate major population. Provide them training to operate a digital product. Govt has to take initiative to make the country developed first then make a city smarter.

According to me, yes, of course, we need smart cities. But before that we should think our basic needs that should be fulfilled, why we are running for bullet trains and all, our India is agriculturally based that's why we only focussing things which are beneficial for these. Also we can adopt technology according to need. We should develop technology we required not other. Some countries are very advanced in technology, we can't beat them before going through our basic needs. First off all literacy is required for that we should first work on it when we talk about the advanced which are required for quality development.

Yes! We do need smart cities, as being a citizen of this developing country I really want to see my country being the most powerful in all the way whether its economically or strength wise in case of that having a confidence of being a citizen of a developing country who has so may smart cities gives itself a lot of courage and satisfaction in inner self so that we can proudly say that our nation is no more suffering from poverty and there are no more uneducated people as living in a smart city will give employment to many people which will definitely be going to eradicate the poverty.

So, yes we do need smart cities.

Of course, We really need smart cities.

In my opinion, As far we listening that INDIA is still a developing country. But why is it not yet developed?

SMART CITIES can be made when we think smart in every aspect of developing of our country & needs of people. It should be initialised from villages.

By the way, our great country can be a developed country.

I hope so it may be a developed country till completion of this 21st century. If people & the government of India thinks smart enough. Then it would be a smart city with facilities we needed according to the improvement of technology day by day.

Thank you.

Hi.

An Idea of smart cities is fabulous but I don't think the country like India requires smart cities very urgently right now because I feel that politicians are using the tag "SMART CITIES" to woo the youngsters and gain votes. Keeping that aside, I really feel that before planning for smart cities we must actually think about coming out of poverty line & corrupted system. The focus must give on developing agriculture sector on which majority Indian population is still dependent. Getting out of poverty line & corruption will eventually pave the way towards a smart city which aims at happy living of people.
