Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hello, I am Theeksh.

In my opinion, we need smart city. Smart city means not only develop the village or city. It also thinking of people is also smarter.

Thank you.

Good Morning everyone,

Thanks for giving me the chance to share my opinion.

In my point of view, yes, we all need smart cities. For this, our pm Mr. Narendra Modi has created this scheme, we know smart cities can bring a smart country, for this we have to develop both big cities as well as villages also. Most of the villages are still under development. Most of the villages now also not got the proper livelihood. No water, no food, and not a proper shelter. So, a smart city is a big development, for this, we should create small developing communities in villages which will spread up and in this way both cities and villages can be got under development. Another aspect is unemployment, people from villages wouldn't get proper employment as compared to the people in cities. So, govt should assist them to get a job in their village so that they wouldn't b unemployed. In this way, we can change villages than cities and finally our country.

We concluded that we all should unite and change the small villages to be smart city and that smart city into a smart country.

Yes, we definitely need of smart cities. But to make our cities smart we have to develop our villages smart. There are no facilities in the village still people in rural areas are faces a lot of problems than whether it is a hospital facility or farming, electricity. And to make our cities smart then there should be sustainable development first. One of the economists also said that India is a developed country still it is a developing country.

So, if you want to make our cities smart first we have to make our village smart then automatically our cities & country will get smart.

As there are development we are more focus on smart cities but before that, the main focus should be undeveloped cities or towns of India because at one end we are developing cities on the other end there are small towns or villages which are undeveloped. So, if we have to make our country development then we should make every city or town develop not only focus on big cities. Because together is better.

Hello everyone.

According to me, We should be more focused on backward cities, villages than smart cities as it would not only generate employment there but would also help to churn out-migration that takes place from villages to cities thereby increasing overall living standard.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for allowing me to express my thoughts regarding this topic. The given topic is a very important and interesting topic. Let's start with defining the smart city. There is no universal definition for a smart city. The picture of the smart city contains a wishlist of infrastructure and services which describe his or her level of aspiration. Smart city started by respected pm Narendra Modi in 2015. It is an essential step to be taken in order for the country to be digitalized and in turn effected demonetization. A smart city reduces global warming which is very necessary nowadays. A smart city helps us to minimize the electric bill and various others and improves the availability of the internet around the country. While going through the process there will be a lot of employment opportunities. A lot of rural areas do not have minimum facilities and they are not introduced to the smart cities. Awareness must be created among all the people and they must know the advantages of being or making a smart city. It's not government responsibility alone it is a collective responsibility of people to be smart and encourage making smart cities. " one who does not through the dice will never get a six".

Yes, we really need a smart city.

Firstly, I want to tell that what is a smart city? A smart city is that in which there is good infrastructure, good educational institutions, good health department and transportation. Smart city provides many jobs and project.

Good morning everyone.

Talking about smart cities what do you mean by smart cities? Cities having good infrastructure, roads, wifi, cinemas etc do we really need this? There is a need for sustainable cities rather than smart cities. Problems like employment, corruption, basic educational needs, food etc still lacking behind, if the government really want to do anything for us then first solve these problems. Smart cities are just one step forward for our ends, with increasing pollution and decreasing of water level day by day this is what happening in smart cities. Cities like Mumbai and Delhi we called them smart cities but do we really happy to live there. People migrate from rural to urban just to have a good job and to fulfil basic needs. If the government provide employment opportunity in the rural areas itself and fulfil basic needs than there is no need of smart cities. Expenditure increases with an increase in demand, our country consists of poor people more than the rich person and they can't afford to live in smart cities with no job. Ok, we need smart city than for that we have to cut down the trees and have to occupy the farmland for infrastructure but after that, we will not have farming land and trees so from where we will fulfil our basic needs of food and fresh air.

So, there is no need for smart cities we just need sustainable cities with smart minds.

Hi everyone.

Smart cities are innovative as well as tactful ways for a countries development, but a cooperative and innovative workforce and the government is a prerequisite for the correct implementation of this project. It has been five years since the project is being put up, but the no of smart cities of India is still very less. It is true that the efforts of the government are worthy but the pace and standard of the implementation should be increased. It is time that we take the project to next level ie is smart India making our country as a whole smart enough, it should also focus on the provision of health sanitation, good working conditions etc, we all know that villages are the identity of our country so policy should be put forward to establish smart villages because smart cities lead to rapid urbanization and industrialization and the basic character of our villages will have tampered.

Setting of special economic zones, industrial corridors, digital life, etc would ease the objective of smart cities.

This is my view on my topic.

We need smart and sustainable cities. We should try and implement successful innovations practiced elsewhere in the world particularly related to urban farming/vertical farming. The idea of a smart city should be an evolving one because the needs and requirements will vary as we go forward. The key goal is to successfully adapt to these changing conditions such as changes in the urban ecosystem due to climate change factors, breaks in the food supply chain systems and so on. The game-changer is not just technology but innovations aimed at adapting to a different sets of circumstances.
