Do we really need Smart Cities?

Hello Guys,

In my opinion, the root cause of many problems in India at macro level is huge population which is unevenly distributed over the country. There are parts of country which are overpopulated because of resources and standard of living like Mumbai. In reality this standard is deteriorating because of congestion and cost of living. Government spending on these areas would have a very short lived positive impact. In order to have long term positive impacts population from these areas need to be diluted. Here smart cities or smart villages would play a significant role. Now a days many huge private organisations are adopting particular village and developing it as part of Corporate Social Responsibility. These steps would render developmental activities and spending by government effective in long run.

Yes, we need smart cities but not in speech and on paper. We need to develop our country by stop corruption, by educating, by servicing, by developing agriculture sector. If we improve the education, if improve the agriculture sector then itself every city can become a smart city. From the smart city, the employment has been increasing by itself.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for allowing me to express my thoughts regarding this topic. The given topic is a very important and interesting topic. Let's start with defining the smart city. There is no universal definition for a smart city. The picture of the smart city contains a wishlist of infrastructure and services which describe his or her level of aspiration. Smart city started by respected pm Narendra Modi in 2015. It is an essential step to be taken in order for the country to be digitalized and in turn effected demonetization. A smart city reduces global warming which is very necessary nowadays. A smart city helps us to minimize the electric bill and various others and improves the availability of the internet around the country. While going through the process there will be a lot of employment opportunities. A lot of rural areas do not have minimum facilities and they are not introduced to the smart cities. Awareness must be created among all the people and they must know the advantages of being or making a smart city. It's not government responsibility alone it is a collective responsibility of people to be smart and encourage making smart cities. " one who does not through the dice will never get a six".

Well,

According to my own view, I wanna say this project was a big stepping stone to develop our Country and Cities. We all know that this project had been launched by our Prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi in 2015 on 25th June. A total of 98,000core has been approved by the Indian Cabinet to development of 100 smart cities and rejuvenation of 500 others. It has a big aim that is the development of our country through developing cities.

So, In our country, there are many rural places. Not only that, but rural people also suffering a lot and they are facing many problems. Like, lack of good drainage system, lack of sufficient hospital, lack of good infrastructure, lack of food, etc. We can tell the poverty is a big challenge in Infront of them.

I think if our government tries to develop our cities, develop our society and as well as a country so, the government should provide lots of opportunities for rural areas and the rural people. Like, proper food, water supply, electric facilities, etc. This way rural communities will be developed. Because a few days ago Indian-American economist Mr. Avijit Banerjee said India is a developing country in the world not developed countries due to the increasing poverty rate.

So, I think if urban people and the rural people both have the same facilities our Cities will be fulfilled to developed and if your city will develop or smart our lifestyles will be developed or smart as well as our society. In the near future, this type of developed society will be Developed our country in the world.

Well, I think we really need The Smart Cities.

Thank you.

According to my point of view, government should focus on these problems. Like- employment problem, educational problem and poverty problem after solving this government should further go for the need of smart cities.

No, we really don't need smart cities but we need smart peoples and good culture which makes a city a smart city. The Smart city is never born, it has to made by hard work and various struggles. If the government tries to make a city smart but people these cities don't know how to use those resources, then the city is no more called a smart city.

Smart and intelligent peoples make a city smart.

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.

Yes, we really need smart cities, in order to make our India smarter. Smarter cities stand for wifi services, a very marvelous infrastructure, shopping malls, breath taking tourist spots, etc. But just think twice, where these big infrastructure will be build, because most of the places in India is slum areas. So the tact is that, we first have to make our indians smarter, richer, educated, and literate, then India will automatically become smart.

Recruiting good teachers, hard work of students, hard working engineers, doctors, education hub is the suitable things that we require the most to be smarter.

About 109 states are being choosen, in order to make them smarter, the idea of smart cities was introduced from japan in 2015, initiatives was taken by our pm narendra modi ji. So, we really need sm, art cities so that we can excel in economic growth, financial growth, and as a whole our India will become a smarter independent country.

According to me, thedevelopment of smart cities has both pros and cons i. E, coming to pros smart cities gives scope to education, hospitals, transportation, needs for enjoyment like parks, greenery and so many, this helps the people who are living in cities and also in towns to lead their life.

But, Coming to cons, I would like to bring a point that for making or developing smart cities we need land for construction which indirectly effects the farmers who are really serving hard to run there life.

Hence I conclude that development of smart cities should start from villages by making use of agriculture machinery, electricity, water facilities. And their basic needs. Then we can dream and succeed for smart cities, smart India.

Hello everyone,

Firstly, according to me, one should be aware of what the smart city is. Smart cities concept integrates information and communication technology (ICT), and various physical devices connected to a network (IoT) to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens. So, obviously, we need it, as it will enhance our skills, knowledge, connectivity, acquaintance with technology and all. But before this, we need to fulfil our basic requirements. Because without having our foundation strong how can we think of its beauty, we all know that we are lagging behind at many aspects, like literacy, fooding, employment, security and all.

So, according to me, we need to first improve our living, then will think of its standard, definitely.

Thank you.
