Do we really need Smart Cities?

Smart cities are very much needed in a country for the overall development of a country. But for that, it is important to optimise the perception of people in that area towards society, humanity, education, and other social issues. More importantly, it is the duty the government to look to the prevailing issues of a particular area like infrastructure facilities of hospitals, schools, colleges, roads, bridges, agricultural farms with farmers, etc. Morover, building a smart city doesn't only refer to better connectivity between people by either roads or internet facility, but also changing the mindset of people living there towards women safety and empowerment.

That is purely my opinion.

Thank you.

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.

Hello guys,

In my point of view, yes, of course, we need a smart city but before this we need smart people. People are like bricks, and if we will use good quality of bricks and cement then building will be strong automatically. People of India are mostly uneducated and they don't have home and a proper school. So I think first, the government should provide a proper school in the village, job, electricity, water etc. When the people will get proper education proper job then the city will be converted into smart city. Government should decrease education rate, they should open a no. Of colleges, school.

Truly speaking, every one of us would know that there are many other issues which need attention rather than developing a smart city. Nowadays, there are many frauds in banks, corruption, clean Ganga project and many others. In such a scenario we can't be thinking of such things. Yes, indeed the smart city is a good one but maybe we are not at that stage of being developed that we should go for it. Maybe somewhere down the line, we will eventually achieve it but according to me NOT NOW.

Yes, we really need a Smart City. But there should not be developing in the urban areas only. The village should be developed.

I will give one example. Suppose I am staying in the village and I want to get higher education but unfortunately I'm not able to go to urban areas because of financial situation. So I think whatever there is in urban areas, it should also be in rural areas. So poor peoples can take advantages. Lastly, I want to say If we want smart city then, first of all, we need to develop our village.

Yes, we want, but in a smart city, all the comfortable zone things should not be made. Because in early days many peoples worked hard and the hard work made them very strong in their fitness and also it made a happiness to them from their heart. But nowadays many inventions are done to overcome the work and make easier! but the inventions should be made but the whole city should not travel in these inventions itself! they can utilize but, if they can do the same work on their own they won't do on their own and must not use smart inventions.

Thank you.

Extremely need, but the main problem is we can't provide security to our lifes and by improving smart cites we can avoid the illitration.

The main advantage is hard works can done esily, through this smart cities we increases the communication system.

Hello Everyone,

Smart cities mean those whose cities having the excellent facilities like educational, healthcare facilities, technology. In my point of view, India will really need the smart cities and also this is the right time to think about it. I want to add one thing before going to the topic.

In India, 60-70% of the people are living in rural areas and only 30-40% of the people are living in towns/cities. In rural areas, the people are always fighting to fulfil there common needs like higher education, health facilities. Etc. First of all, Governments will focus on rural areas to facilitate the basic needs to the peoples living in the rural areas.

And also, correspondingly focus on the development of the smart cities. Otherwise, our country is always in the "developing countries" list instead of developing countries. My grandfather said, "India is a developing country" to my father, my father said same to me and I will say the same to my children as well.

So, My point of you sustainable developing is needed.

Hi.

In my point of view, there is no need to build a smart city, instead if people are educated and the basic needs required for the city are provided then automatically a city becomes smart with smart people.

Yes, Smart cities enhance the developmental activities of a region. A lot of developmental activities such as building schools, organizations, shopping malls can take place. These activities benefit everybody including citizens, businesses, government and environment.
