Hello,

Developed cities are the backbone of countries development. But it was also true that as the cities are developed the pollution are drastically increases. And we also know that the health is essential for any type of development. As we wish to develop our cities then you should control the pollution too. For living smartly within a smart city, we should practice the cleanliness.

Need is the first step of the invention, and we really want to becomes the smart people of the "Smart India".

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.

Obviously, smart cities are needed for the shake of our overall development.

Smart cities mean availability of all the facilities, resources, 24*7 electricity, good infrastructure, medical etc.

This will help in growing industries business and all.

But, today I saw a post in social media that people are making the train bogy, footpaths dirty by throwing the unnecessary things like bottles, plastics etc. And the headline was like "the people need to get smart before making the city smart".

Yes, we really need smart cities but that's not mean we are destroying our plants and animals and agriculture. We have to protect them and solving the problems.

First of all, we need to change our thinking how to development of our environment & how to make a great country.

I think we need green cities to better than a smart city. Because it helps our life & environment.

So, Those people who destroy our agricultural farm's, plants. I request those people don't do this.

Thank you.

In my point of view, the use of technology is increasing day by day so we need smart city, but without destroying environment. Rural people are shifting to the urban areas for searching employement, if there will be smart city, so they can easily get employment.

There are many features of smart cities like, reducing traffic, good level education, proper water management and drainage system, safety etc.

And I also think if people will become smart then city will become smart automatically.

Hello, everyone.

In my view, we really need smart cities.

The idea of smart cities is a noble one in the context that India is a powerful country in every respect. May be in the field of science and technology, medicine and surgery or defence, India is ahead. But it is the right time to face global competition and to prove the potential.

Next important matter is that if the idea of smart cities can be well executed, then smart villages will be produced and then smart India can be formed.

First people should know what smart cities are?

It doesn't need model buildings, High towers.

Years of time to plan by international architect's, waste of huge wealth, thousands of acres area and their own mark by individuals or religious.

Smart city means driving people through advancement in all sectors what they need.

Providing all facilities for the nation.

Not the only for particular places, Or for already developed cities.

Yes, we need smart cities, those as we are one NATION.

Of course there is a need for smart cities but moreover that we need to have a smart and effective education. With the development of only smart cities cannot be of great benefit with not so smart people. The education system, our agricultural system the poor section of our society needs to uplift first. My idea about the smart city is not just with the infrastructure and more technology it is a city with people of belonging to the place and responsible towards the future generation also.

Of course not. Because in my prospect a man can't be manipulated by the society's influence if he himself has a power of judgement. I am not saying that people should be back-dated. But if most of the current people really think that their cites have become smarter then why this kind of nonsense activities like rapes, molestation etc are being happened still. So I think that a man can change himself by his own mentality, not by anyone's influence. And that day the cities will be smarter.

Earlier Smart city Mission has been implemented in various cities like Stockholm (Sweden), Suwon (south Korea), Singapore etc only when people there are able to understand the need and use of Smart cities.

One of the basic things in the Smart city mission is the combining Internet of things and ICT and the computer literacy of India is only 6.3% due to which they will not understand the use of Smart Cities. So, smart cities require Smart people and Government should work on both of it.
