Do we really need Smart Cities?

Yes, we need smart cities but not in terms of deteriorating anything that we already have. Like for making smart cities there are only cutting of trees and poor roads were seen nearby. For making smart cities need of lots of plantation and their maintenance required. One work should properly completed then start another if not possible to manage simultaneously like roads maintenance. Education, clean water, use of rainwater, proper drainage, transportation many more things in a queue. After working on that only cities become smart having smart educated people so that it will be maintained as smart. Not only on paper but in reality.

Yeah, we need smart cities. And I strongly feel that India, in a sudden situation could grow much faster and better. I feel that people in Nation are well aware of the facts and figures. And we should always remember that "every big thing starts with a small run". So we need smart Cities for making our country more smarter and a better place to live.

The answer is Yes. We need smart cities with a new mission environmental friendly policy and rainwater saving system.

A city becomes smart when there is zero traffic system. If basically, smart city project has resolved all these problems then we need smart cities.

I'm sharing my thoughts about do we really need smart cities?

In my opinion, smart cities must be beneficial to our nation, Today's plan for smart cities little bit harmful to the environment.

For our selfishness we drop the trees they may die due to us, This will lead to a disaster in future so I disapprove of this, smart cities were benifit from one point of view to the another side it will harm to our society and our health.

Thank you.

Yes, smart cities are important but the main point is that if there is a smart city it's harmful to our environment. We know our India is an agricultural country. When we establish a smart city we will cut trees and then the poor become poor.

Thank you.

Smart cities are very much needed in a country for the overall development of a country. But for that, it is important to optimise the perception of people in that area towards society, humanity, education, and other social issues. More importantly, it is the duty the government to look to the prevailing issues of a particular area like infrastructure facilities of hospitals, schools, colleges, roads, bridges, agricultural farms with farmers, etc. Morover, building a smart city doesn't only refer to better connectivity between people by either roads or internet facility, but also changing the mindset of people living there towards women safety and empowerment.

That is purely my opinion.

Thank you.

Good morning/afternoon to all, this is Rahul Soni.

According to my point of view, we really need smart cities. At present India is not fall under the list of smart cities due to various corruption, lack of Artificial Intelligence, education system etc. Recent survey it is found that India may become a fall under the smart city and increment of 1.5% in GDP by using artificial intelligence at the end of 2030. It also play major role digitization of country like online banking, In Dubai, the driverless car is running on the road.

Before we start dreaming about smart cities we have to be smart. Public cooperation is needed to start smart city initiative. We have to keep the focus on different aspects in a systematic manner to make this plan successful. First of all, we have to make our surroundings clean and healthy. Because a healthy person can think better. We have to change the idea of diversity between man and woman. We have to improve our education system. We have to emphasize on health, transportation, Media etc.

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.

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.
