Hello everyone,

First of all, what do we mean by smart city?

It should have smart people, smart governence, smart mobility, smart in technology, smart in evironment development or say sustainable devlopment, and considering India as emerging power in world I think we really need smart cities. To compete with our enemies and to make INDIA reliable, strong smart cities mean a lot.

It's true that smart cities will provide better infrastructure, services to citizens. But it will be in vain if people are not smart enough to use them properly. Under the current situation, not everyone of us knows how to use available services properly. So it is essential to make people smart first. In my opinion, smart people make a city smart but the converse is hardly true.

As per my opinion, we don't need any smart city rather then we need a rural village with all facilities like school, medical, good roads, electric and proper drainage system and drinking water. Employment should be created by government.

Rather then focusing on city if we focus on development of village then automatically we will head towards the achievement of smart city only.

What is smart cities? Means hospital, net banking, good education and health every one thinks about cities but in our India 70 present people are living in the village I agree but firstly develop our village because they provided food all India and we don't care about farmer so. Develop village then develop city then we can progress if we think about farmer Jay Javan Jay kisaan.

What is the meaning of a smart city? Is it enough to high infrastructure, wide roads, malls, theaters, shopping complexes, free WiFi, etc.? No smart city means there is enough facility for Health, Education, and Transportation. According to me, people need Smart City where they live in a peaceful environment and easily attach with Health, Education and Transportation services.

Yes, in my opinion we really need Smart cities 1st start from us then start from small rural area villages, develop over education system if peoples are educated then they self start to cooperate maintain Smart city. Cleanses is also a very important point because pollution Causes diseases. 24hrs electricity, water supply etc these are the basic need of people govt work on it.

Hello everyone, according to me, Yes, we need smart cities but first we need smart villages. Because for a developed nation both city is also as important as a village. We know that villages needs basic facilities like technologies, school, colleges, hospitals and better transportation system. So at first make the smart villages because without farmers we citizen are nothing.

Yes, we need Smart Cities in India, it will help the country grow economically & technologically.

Smart cities will provide numerous job option to the new blood and it will help to boost the standard of living.

As we already know our metropolitan cities are overcrowded & polluted hence the concept of smart cities will reduces the burden from the metropolitan cities.

Probably no. Because India belongs to those countries where all kind of peoples are lives. The rate of poor people is greater in comparing the rich people. I think if we develop a smart city then we must have to that kind of economy which will easily afford that. So, opinion is we should have to postpone this idea for the future when everyone could be ready for a smart city.

Yes, we need smart cities but instead of making our city smart first government should focus on the basic needs of the people like our literacy, food, water, home etc. If these requirements will be fulfilled then our people will be very smart to handle the result which will come after making our city smart. First makes the people smart then automatically city will be smart.
