Do we really need Smart Cities?

Smarts cities are must for developed nations but India is developing nation so I think we should first focus on making people educated and improving our economic condition. Then after that, of course, we will be needing smart cities.

People in India are not mature enough to handle smart cities like on the first day Tejas train passengers stole things from it, broke things and made its condition worse. So, for now, we should be focusing on the development of our country first.

Currently there is no need of smart cities. It will be better if government focus to improve the rural areas.

As our honourable prime minister is working to develop cities to convert into smart cities but it's also important that he should focus on the underdeveloped countries and try to create more employment and help needy people.

Yes, in my opinion we really need Smart cities 1st start from us then start from small rural area villages, develop over education system if peoples are educated then they self start to cooperate maintain Smart city. Cleanses is also a very important point because pollution Causes diseases. 24hrs electricity, water supply etc these are the basic need of people govt work on it.

Hello everyone,

I agree majorities opinion, In my perspective, smart cities are very much beneficial to a country like India but, we have to consider the other side too there are many people who are all still failed to meet their basic needs. We have to at least ensure that no-one in our country is suffering from hunger. Developing one side to the highest by leaving the other side to the dark is not at all fine in my view. After eradicating poverty we can implement our dream smart city and that will be actually benefiting.

The idea of smart city sounds and appears to be whimsical. First and foremost we all need to be on the same page about our country's economic status, wealth distribution, and sustainability. We keep telling and hearing that India is a developing country and it is developing since as long as anyone can remember, here we need a pragmatic approach. We should first concentrate on rural areas that are long due to development, we literally have villages that even today have no access to electricity and has little access to water. Such stats resembles our incompetency to do what should have been done decades ago. And yet here we are talking about building smart cities and bullet trains. Our primary focus needs to be on these pressing matters rather than chasing unrealistic goals.

I mean sure smart city comes with boundless benefits, but it benefits only the elites and the people working for elites.

Hi everyone,

I do agree we should develop our village first but providing water power 24/7 will solve the problem. We are a nation with max youth. The biggest challenge now is how we are using our resources. So it's very important to create awareness of the effective use of time.

I strongly agree we need smart cities which has all the specialities and smart ppl with smart works innovations etc which should be role model for surrounding villages to improve.

Above things happen only when we choose a right candidate for election. " It's all in our hand ".

Yes,

We need smart city because our country is a developing country and we have to do a developed country and not only develop city's as a smart cities develop villages also because in villages there is no proper electricity, education, water, communication 1st of all improve rural areas afterwards automatically we get smarter cities and in our country there is a black money when that black money came out then our country will be a developed country.

Thank you.

Smart cities does not mean cities adopting technologies to solve problems but fulfilling requirements of people and progressing positively.

As per my opinion, a country or a nation is really called developed in that scenario that particular country is able to fill every stomach of a citizen including rich and poor providing them peaceful lives that's is what we call a smart and efficient county not only a city entire country called as a smart country.

In my point of view, Yes we really need smart cities like other but to make city smart first people need to be smart enough.

Take for example Delhi.

Delhi is becoming smart city day by day but what about crime it is increasing rapidly due to this the image go down so this affects the people mentality about the city so that's the reason Delhi is not becoming smart. So, first people need to smart and automatically city will become smart.
