Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hi everyone.

Ofcourse smart cities are needed but before that government should develope the developing areas into developed areas why because to build smart cities nation should need a huge investment with that we can develope rural areas like agriculture, handlooms etc and then smart cities is needed by that both urban and rural people can easily survive under smart and modern conditions in the society according my conclusion smart cities are needed but after fulfilling the major requirements.

Thank you.

Yes, we need the smart city but before of this step, we should focus on our villages because our economy is an agriculture-based. If we get success in the villages so I am sure we get the dreams that our father of the nation is a vision for the future.

I'm Manoj kr. And I'd like the initiative to start the group discussion.

First, I'd like to start by telling everyone what does a smart city mean well smart cities are basically a modern form of the existing cities with better waste management system better roads with a clean environment and which also includes using solar panels and other forms of sustainable energy. So the question is do we need smart cities or not and the answer is yes because in a developing country like India smart cities would act as a boosting centres and trade centre to increase the development of the country as a whole there are plenty of villages that are directly dependent on cities for their day to day activities so making cities smart would help developing those villages so for the overall development of the country I think developing smart cities ia not a bad idea at all.

In my view, development of cities are important along with the development of the villages. As the city gets smarter the ecological problems also increase. We first need to focus on the basic needs required by the people of this nation. Health, education, civic amenities, well-connected roads, drinking water facility etc are the basic needs we need in cities, villages.

Along with smart cities, there should be a smart village, which should lead toward a better production of agriculture.

Yes, I believe smart cities might increase the economy of the country if it is well planned.

But if we come across present situation even the metropolitan cities face a major problem when it rains there. That is a major area of the problem.

So, the government should make the cities smarter in a well-planned manner and should maintain the ecological balance.

I would like to join with that point. Instead of making some selected cities smarter, we must focus on villages that not even have the basic facilities like sanitation, power supply, banking facilities. Agricultural needs must be monitored and provided properly.

Instead of focusing on tourism, smarter cities we must first take care of this.

I believe in instead of smart cities we focus on other things like we developed some beneficial facilities for our farmers so our economy will be improved. We focus on a crime that tremendously increased in India such as corruption rape cases female foeticides and much more only making digital India is not the solution to every problem.

Yes, we need smart city because there are so many villages which is conected to the cities and mahatma gandhi used to say that if you want to see india, see her in villages. So first of all we need to develop a village then we can think about smart cities.

Yes, we really need smart city because in modern country everyone is smart and advance. But for making ourself smart we have to start from initial i.e. from our village because our country near about 50% so we have to firatly improve the condition of villegers. Such that they will became smart and take part in smarting the city.

Hi everyone.

Yes, there is a need for smart cities but not now.

I understand that smart cities are required if we want to see our country to be in the list of developed nations.

But we need to understand that no structure can sustain for a longer time if the foundation is week. And then here the foundation is our villages.

We should first focus on improving the condition of villages and make them smart. A large no. Of people from villages are migrating towards the cities to get a better education and for other basic needs. And because of that cities are becoming crowded.

The Basic concept is: more the people, more no. Of vehicles, more will be the consumption of fuel and definitely, it will affect the environment.

First, we need to focus on making our villages smart.

I would also like to join some point ahead.

Smart cities, Yes, we need smart cities in order to develop the country further because we are living in an advance century bit none of our things an advance.

If we observe to China, and other countries too, we are still in a backward condition terms of everything.

Yes, I do agree well with the point that most of the population are at villagers they were not getting basic needs to survive.

So my conclusion needs a smart city which develops our whole country when I mentioned country it covers every part.
