Do we really need Smart Cities?

As per my view, India does not need smart cities if we want to develop our nation than our main focus is on to develop rural areas rather than that to make a city to smart city. Our main aim is to reduce the poverty, corruption and much more. But how the smart city now with all the facilities but no freedom. By making cities smart we become technological but somehow we missing the humanity in the environment.

Hello, friends.

First of all, what is a smart city?

The Smart city is a city where each and every facility must be available to the people at their doorsteps with many conveniences. The city where we can see economical growth, best educational facility, best healthcare provided, comfortable transportation facilities etc available.

In my point, we do not need smart cities at the current situation because the maximum percentage of people in India are illiterate and live in poverty. So the major concern of the government must be to utilize the revenue generated to make literacy rate higher and reduce poverty.

In my opinion, we don't need a smart city, we need a smart country where every citizen would be smart enough.

How many people live in a city?India is a country where maximum people live in rural areas. 80% of the people of our country can not spend more than 20 Rs. In a day. 19% of total poor in the world are from India. These people don't even know whether they have foods tomorrow or not. Many children are suffering from malnutrition. The Government of India still can not provide Basic needs like foods, safe drinking water, education, shelter, medical facility to maximum people of India after 70 years of independence. Unemployment is also a big issue in India. Our country's GDP is increasing but unfortunately, 56% of total GDP is in the hands of only 1% of our people. So rich is becoming richer and poor is becoming poorer.

So, in my opinion, at present, we don't need to focus on smart cities. First, we must focus on how to fulfill the basic needs of poor people. Our mission should be no children with malnutrition, 100% literacy rate, 100% employment. When people become smart enough then government don't need to worry about smart cities. India itself become a smart country.

Yeah, we need a smart city.

Fistly, 2 make our city smart people should be smart enough.

Yes, we need smart city develop our mind and country first villages should be developed in the village many people do not how to write their name in English so we should develop village cities are almost development.

Why do we need smart city? We need smart city because it develops the country India is developing country also it should develop more and more our first we should develop village there should be proper electricity facilities, food facilities, education facilities in people should be known about a good cause of smart city and should use smart phone etc.

Hello everyone,

I agree with many of you that we do not need smart cities right now. It's just waste of people's money and a burden on economy cause majority of people live in rural areas. And that's why the government should focus on rural development, uprooting corruption, increasing literacy rate, making food available to everyone so no one sleeps empty, find ways to improvise their living of standard. Then only government should focus on smart cities.

Yes, we need smart cities because India should be developed like another country and who don't no its advantages government should educate them.

As our country is developing rapidly smart cities might seem good but wE need to work on the betterment of what we have right now. Government is talking about starting bullet train but current condition of the railway is not that good. First, we should take care of what we have and then go for advancement like samart cities. Firstly, rural areas should be developed and after that, we can think of smart cities.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion smart cities are very good step for country growth as it creates opertunites for youngsters, education will be better and also become a role model for other cities.

We not living in those days of mobiles phone like Nokia 1100, nowdays we are using smart phone that we are getting used to it we know it's importance similarly same work for smart cities.
