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.

Hi everyone,

Yes, of course, we need smart cities but before that, we have to develop our villages because so many village people are coming into the cities and they are doing small works because in villages there are no facilities like transportation facilities, water facilities, hospital and schools and colleges. Because of those reasons they are leaving agriculture and villages. First, the government has to take the steps to provide facilities to the villages then we automatically develop smart cities.

Hello, everyone.

In my view, we really need smart cities.

The idea of smart cities is a noble one in the context that India is a powerful country in every respect. May be in the field of science and technology, medicine and surgery or defence, India is ahead. But it is the right time to face global competition and to prove the potential.

Next important matter is that if the idea of smart cities can be well executed, then smart villages will be produced and then smart India can be formed.

I think we need a smart city. Because we of today are switching towards modernity and it provides us many essential requirements. If we have to maintain smart city then we should aware that we have to keep our sanity clean and free from pollution, diseases etc. It is also a necessary factor.

If I talk about the smart city, initially people should be aware for the cleaning of the city like don't throw garbage on the road, use public toilets etc. First, step would be built public toilets in villages and place where development is necessary. If people will be aware from this all thing, 50% city will be changed into the smart city.

Hello, everyone.

Yes, we need smart cities and the decision taken by Indian government for smart cities is correct because when people hear about smart word before the name of his/her city where they are living they already started to imagine how our city looks being a smart city and they stopped doing all bad things such as throwing rotten eggs, vegetables, dust on road they will throw in dustbin and if one people started then the other also start.

Of course, We really need smart cities.

In my opinion, As far we listening that INDIA is still a developing country. But why is it not yet developed?

SMART CITIES can be made when we think smart in every aspect of developing of our country & needs of people. It should be initialised from villages.

By the way, our great country can be a developed country.

I hope so it may be a developed country till completion of this 21st century. If people & the government of India thinks smart enough. Then it would be a smart city with facilities we needed according to the improvement of technology day by day.

Thank you.

Hello, Everyone.

When we heard words "smart cities" we start imagining those cities with good infrastructure and full of facilities, neat and clean and good environment. But these all cannot be implemented completely until we people of developing country start thinking and living in a smart way.

This is because, if the government make something say put a dustbin along the road side, some people who are educated in real-manner only put the garbage into that box. But most of the population of the country are not that much educated or mannered that they put all garbage in dustbin only, they will throw it here and there and hence make the city polluted. And also after some someone either breaks the dustbin or take it away.

So we can conclude that before government implement the concept of smart cities in our country, it is necessary to make people of India smart by education, organising campaign awareness program etc. Hence once we become smart then almost 50% concept of smart city will get implemented.

Yes, to develop our country we really need smart cities.

Yes, we are in need of smart cities. Where in most of the countries like Japan, Singapore, Australia in these countries small states are also well developed. So we need to develop our villages as smart cities.
