Do we really need Smart Cities?

In my view, I see some peoples are considering the smart city as it is only a new thing that is happening to our life. But I think that is not correct always because we have to keep the past also if it is not bad culture for example when I see wearing styles of girls in developed cities that is morally not acceptable. May be it is considering as part of freedom but it's not smartness.

According to me, Smart city doesn't mean that big flyover long roads, new transportation services it means that how clean your city is. If the government made big flyovers or road in our city but on that the people of city throw their wastage like polythene, plastics or some other type of garbage then what is the benefit so for the smart city firstly clean city is mandatory and for clean city education is important. People have to be aware of the clean city and we have to plant more and more trees. Because the clean city and green city together makes a smart city. Thank you.

Yes, In my point of view, we really need Smart cities but with smart cities, we also need Smart villages. We all know that more than half of Indian population lives in rural areas. So for them we need Smart villages. Coming back to Smart Cities, we need them because:.

1. We are the fastest growing economy in the world. For maintaining the same pace of development, we need smart cities.

2. We are 7th largest nation in the world, 2nd most populated & the most important thing is that 8th largest economy in the world. How its look if we don't have any Smart city?

3. In current scenario, development is measured also on Smart cities due to this we need smart cities.

4. We are in Top-5 largest FDI getting country, MNC n other nations also want to invest in smart cities what if, if we don't have smart cities? Definitely, the inflow of FDI would reduce.

Atlast, I can say that India really needs Smart cities with Smart/Aadharsh Villages.

India is Progressing & we are developing.

Jai Hind!

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.
