Do we really need Smart Cities?

Good Morning everyone,

Thanks for giving me the chance to share my opinion.

In my point of view, yes, we all need smart cities. For this, our pm Mr. Narendra Modi has created this scheme, we know smart cities can bring a smart country, for this we have to develop both big cities as well as villages also. Most of the villages are still under development. Most of the villages now also not got the proper livelihood. No water, no food, and not a proper shelter. So, a smart city is a big development, for this, we should create small developing communities in villages which will spread up and in this way both cities and villages can be got under development. Another aspect is unemployment, people from villages wouldn't get proper employment as compared to the people in cities. So, govt should assist them to get a job in their village so that they wouldn't b unemployed. In this way, we can change villages than cities and finally our country.

We concluded that we all should unite and change the small villages to be smart city and that smart city into a smart country.

Yes, ofcourse we need smart cities.

- For smart cities, we need smart people in our country. No doubt we have hard worked as well as smart people in our nation.

- But some people of our country still do not have that mindset. The thinking of people has not changed.

- One side we are developing so much in the field of technologies like recently we have launched 104 satellites which have made a world record and on the other side, India is facing problems such as mass molestation, rapes, murders, etc which shows that people are so narrow-minded.

- For smart cities first people of our country needs to be educated, we should be aware of our rights and duties as a citizen of this nation.

But the government has taken a huge step for smart cities. 109 cities are selected in the smart city project. Also, a smart city project (SBUT) in Mumbai city is being developed.

So our country is slowly but steadily developing in these sectors also but as long as the citizens of the country don't change there is no use of all this as people don't value such things.

Hey guys.

Smart cities are in need for our country. Day by day the pollution is increasing and that is severely harming the people around. The concept of smart city is that people would rely on the internet for their daily works. That is from buying groceries for their home to online transactions, builind up their home with intelligent technologies to fight the environment change etc.

Smart city is one where people change their traditional ways of life and move on to modern era.

By not using their owned cars to go to work and trying carpooling is another way to be smart. This could definitely tackle the pollution and traffic problems.

Then comes to changing the home for a better living. An internet connection and everything there is connected themselves, that is the idea of smart city.

Generating there own electricity from may be solar, and not relying on the kseb. Increasing the use of CNG or electric cars for locomotion. There are a lot of ways we could transfer our birth home into a smart one so that the next generation live a happy life.

Hi everyone.

Smart cities are innovative as well as tactful ways for a countries development, but a cooperative and innovative workforce and the government is a prerequisite for the correct implementation of this project. It has been five years since the project is being put up, but the no of smart cities of India is still very less. It is true that the efforts of the government are worthy but the pace and standard of the implementation should be increased. It is time that we take the project to next level ie is smart India making our country as a whole smart enough, it should also focus on the provision of health sanitation, good working conditions etc, we all know that villages are the identity of our country so policy should be put forward to establish smart villages because smart cities lead to rapid urbanization and industrialization and the basic character of our villages will have tampered.

Setting of special economic zones, industrial corridors, digital life, etc would ease the objective of smart cities.

This is my view on my topic.

At first we need to know, what is the actual meaning of smart city, what is our role in making our city to smart city, and how we can? As we know, still India is ranked in developing country, actually not even in only my mind but this question is arising in mind of every citizen of India that when India will knowing as a developed country. To convert this imagination in reality, India really need smart city to enhance its global and development. Like Bhubaneswar is the first smart city but guys many people don't even know that their own city is a smart city, so I would suggest this should not be the condition in India. So for this, Government should take effective policies to make people educate and then smart. Many parts of northern India which is still suffering from unemployment and poorness and where illiterate persons are more than educated person even they don't know how to use smart phones. So firstly its responsibility of Indian government are to give attention toward this because if people will smart obviously city will be smart.

Good afternoon everybody, our GD topic is Do we really need Smart Cities?

Now, Smart Cities these words evoke an imagination of a city in our mind which has high rises, glass buildings with great architecture, intelligent public utilities, less congestion and pollution etc. But before moving to that bright imagination we first need to keep in mind that cities are built for people. Every product or good, ex: a public bus, when its made it remains cleans it looks sharp, all nice. But after a few months the same thing when stained with pan-parag or gutkha. It does not look very smart. So before venturing out to build a smart city, the govt should concentrate on making the people smart by enforcing proper education from a very beginner level and also it should educate the public via mass awareness. Only then we can protect our cities our culture and thus we can live smartly.

The concept of the smart city should rise from within the people who will be using it. Without it, a smart city will also look pale and lame full of half wits.

According to me.

Smart city plan is not very effective. As there will be no benefit for the people that they are living in villages. They can afford the value of smart product and services even these people are not completely aware of smart cities availability.

So it will be very important to just invest the money in agriculture sector and provide some basic amenities of life of that people in which most important is education, as per data about 26%population of our country is illiterate and instead providing smartness through education gov thinking about to make smart city.

Whatever the services that is being availed by gov should be beneficial for everyone then there will be uniform development of our country.

And one more thing that smart city as per the vision will use technology so I think it might create unemployment with the use of smart equipment and machinations service and product will be given and developed.

So as per my opinion smart city idea this time for our country should be remained just like as an idea.

According to me, cities and towns having the high infrastructure, high-level communication, easy transport and access to every basic thing that makes life easy combines to make up a smart city or town. So the basic is "ease of life". Metropolitans and big cities are getting far more advantages than the rural areas to grow on these lines as such people are still lagging behind. The focus should be more on the roots than the main bark I mean we should first to connect our source of food, the farmers and the rural people to this growing world. Initiatives should b taken for their welfare first providing them a better quality of seeds, fertilizers, machinery, proper water & power supply and connectivity.

India, a country with a population of 132.46 cr out of which 66.46% comprises of the rural population requires to bring up a "Movement of Smartness" focused especially on rural population for over a decade. Do this then think of words like "smart cities and all". It takes time because the population of 132 cr is not a joke.

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.
