Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hi Guys,

Yes, we really need smart cities. But wait, what is the actual smart city? An ideal smart city must have all sort of technology needs satisfying, better transport facilities, cleanliness, better drainage system and finally a governance who "maintains this and develops people minds. We need smart cities where people of the city takes stand and maintain hygiene, involves in maintaining a reputation of the city and follows and respect basic human rights.

Yes, we need smart cities in our country. A city is said to be smart when it creates sustainable economic development and provides a high quality of life by excelling in areas like economy, mobility, environment. Smart cities will improve GDP (Gross domestic product) of the country. GDP is the total value of everything produced by all the people & companies in the country. In August 2015, our government has started the project to develop 100 smart cities across the country. For a developing country, smart cities are very much needed to improve the lifestyle of people.

Well, we need to have our smart cities. As we want India to be among developed nations, we need to know what hinders us. We lack in education thanks to a financial gap in our people.

The Financial gap will be recovered by providing jobs. Smart city skim will definitely serve that purpose to a large. In addition to it there must be a parallel program for making people know about technical advancement in banking, communication etc. Of course, the smart city does not mean only skyscraper buildings, good transportation, and communication but also a good education to its people. So smart city will do good if it is followed by some technical education or awareness program.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

It's a good topic to discuss smart cities. Really we want smart cities.

Smart cities = developed cities.

Smart = develop.

We know India is developing the country. First of all, we need to develop villages, because cities are almost developed, so we need to develop villages.

Because cities arise from the village.

Many peoples don't know how to use a smart phone in villages.

Do we really need smart cities? the answer is yes, we need smart cities but in my point of views Firstly, the government should require rectifying the problem of this sewage system, the problem of transportation, the problem of the traffic system, the problem of electricity and another local problem. And then educate the people's about the well colonize person. If government & people couldn't rectify these problems then their no value of big buildings, Metro's, subways. Take an example in the monsoon season the sewage system failure after the rain. And I am local of UP 99% people doesn't flow the traffic rules. Then without solving these problems, how to make smart cities.

Yes, we need smart cities in our country as our country is going at a right track in the leadership of our Prime minister Sh. Narendra Modi. In my opinion, we should also contribute our knowledge and our talent in making people educate about various harmful activities, but at first, some steps should be taken by our govt to make our country fully free from corruption, poverty and give youth employment.

Hi, everyone.

In my opinion, yes we require smart cities but before introducing it first introduce our peoples, aware them about the new advancement in technologies because maximum part of our population is still illiterate and conventional so we should first focus on some higher priorities like electricity and good quality schooling and be upgrading our peoples so that they can adjust them in smart environment.

A smart city is truly the greatest good a country can get - considering social, economic and various other factors. But the "smartness" of a smart city can only be enjoyed if people get the 100% benefit out of it. If the current situation of our country is not changed (from a political point of view). All the benefits of a smart city will be washed away.

So, in my opinion, a smart city is truly a necessary asset. But it's better if we concentrate on eradicating the existing problems before starting a new development.

According to me, of course, we need smart city Because smart cities mean advancement of technologies, economic growth etc but must important point is that first of all must change our thinking because smart thinking is most important for the smart city. And after that automatically all Indian city can be a smart city even a village can be a smart village. As for example if in America has the smart city then as well as in America has smart think peoples. Thanks.

India is not a developed country most of our citizen are illiterate and below the poverty line. They don't need smart cities they will be needing basic aspects like good food nice shelter and pure water. From time immemorial mother earth provides us everything we need, we just only have to discover it. In my opinion, we need smart cities more than that we need good farmlands eco-friendy buildings and industries. It's better to keep good health and to eat healthy food than wasting health in front of computers and eating junk foods.

Protect and gain from nature.
