Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hello Friends,

Smart city is those cities which use Information and communication technology infrastructure (ICT) to ensure that infrastructure and public services, transportation system, water and electricity supply and solid waste management will be properly manageable.

Smart cities provide digital helpdesk for the citizen. So, public issues managed very well in smart cities.

Smart cities help the economy as well as create a lot of job opportunity. It increases the std of living.

It helps in enhancing education system. But there are few crucial challenges ahead which are.

Land acquisition. How much time amendment bill will take, we don't know.

Enhancing existing cities structure is quite challenging, traffic problem was critical in almost all cities.

Hence, I think we really need smart cities but we must give time for building infrastructure. First solve the traffic problem, water and distribution problem, solid waste related problem. Improve hospital Services.

Yes, we need smart cities but at a later stage. In present scenario there are still many problems which we have to fight with. Before smart cities we need to educate people about internet. There are still many people who doesn't even know about internet. There are many villages where electricity is not available for even 16 hours.

Yes, smart city is the symbol of the developing country though India doesn't require a smart city, because more than a smart city we need smart villages, how the smart city now is a like cage with all the facilities but no freedom, the people in remote villages still not having proper electricity, roadways, smartphones, so our major focus is to bring those villages to light, if all such villages provided with smart facilities, our country surely becomes the smarter country, the problem with the smart city is that everything will be technological, but there is no humanity.

In our point, need cities converted into smart cities. Because, many city people facing a lot of problems daily such as water shortage, scarcity of electricity, travelling on congestion various traffic problems. After converting a smart cities gradually reducing their problems. Sometimes Rural people living in a city for working, they need a government school and hospitality. Hence come into a smart cities following facilities will be come here. Main concern of every city people is pollution, after smart cities the government will order to using some specific vehicle less pollution. So finally pollution reduced, people enjoying to live in cities.

I think there's a need for a greater number of smart cities. The changes I've witnessed when a nearby city was converted into a smart city were phenomenal. The cleanliness increases, people get better services, better connectivity, etc. This would, in turn, lead to a change in the mentality of people and would portray a picture of an ideal city in their minds. Even if these people shift to a "non-smart" city, they'd try to keep their surroundings clean since they are now used to living in a clean environment.

Due to these minute changes in our society, we'd be able to focus on other important things. Instead of bothering for an auto rickshaw from place A to place B, we'd be planning our day and other things of priority sitting in the punctual city busses. Thus, smart cities can lead to a change in mentality and would make our lives convenient.

Yes, We really need smart cities.

I agree with all of you, that before making the city smart, we should try to make the people smart and villages smart but if we keep waiting to be every people smart and every village smart the country which is developing with us will overtake us soon and they will become developed. So smart cities are important.

Yes, I do think that we need smart cities. It will ease the life of common man. Also, I t will encourage everybody to enhance educational level themselves. And get to know the latest things happening around the city. It will also encourage foreign trade import which will help in economy rise of a nation and also enhance tourism.

Hello everyone,

I accept that India really need smart city to enhance its global status and development.

But before this let's focus current scenario of India we will find still except a few cities specially from north region are very less developed they don't have basic facility of transportation as well poor road condition also they have less employement, drainage system and smart function of every thing is far from them problem is lack of education sometimes government attention. I think government should take some positive initiate first this side later they should work in making city smart. Although India is a democratic country so called 'SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKAS'. Government should take effective initiative to make people educate and then smart. However I support the initiative of 'MAKE IN INDIA' from BJP government side toward this.

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.

Yeah, we need, but firstly we need to make smart to people then develop our city or village.

Because the thought of smart city come from developed country and we also want that our country is also developed that 's why we want to make smart city but we forget that other country also have a smart people.

For example we accept the western culture but we do not accept western thought.
