Do we really need Smart Cities?

I think the smart city is very good for India. Because the reasons everyone having a smartphone they are all having some work in a place. So think about that if the smart city is coming in India then India is the popular country in the world.

I think smart city project is the very good project. Because it is very important for every country. Smart city does not mean that in your city have a good road, good transport system. I think smart city means that city person have a good education. Education is a basic need if you want to become our country smart. I think if city people is not smart And not well educated, and also not follow the rule, untile we can not Become a smart city. And with education, employment is also important. If in city, every person has an employment than Noone Will not think about Of crime. And also if you want to become a smart city fast up all, every citizen will have to change our think, and I think we should understand the value of citizenship. And we should not throw the garbage on road, and also should not split on a rode. And if you want a smart city, firstly we will have to change ourself and We can also say that we have to became a smart citizen.

Yes! we need smart city. Smart city does not mean easy life but it means smart people with smart thinking which contribute to smart working. Why smart city only? Why not smart towns/villages!

Digital India is leading smart India.

Yes, we need smart cities and it's good idea but first develop the rural areas very well. In rural areas many problems are in there like electricity problem, education problem, water problem etc. Thanks.

Hi,

According to me, smart cities is need of our India. Smart cities means where zero unemployment, proper education, good roads, nice transportation, buildings, etc first of all citizen should have smart thinking then only India can be smart.

Hello everyone, we are here to discuss whether our nation "NEEDS" smart cities?

We like to categorize ourselves as a growing nation, with our ambition set to be a global powerhouse.

We take pride in our cultural, technological, and economic achievements, but our cities image is tarnished by poor roads, congested houses, stinky lanes, and unreliable public transportation. This is what we need to change. To be a modern nation, we have to look like a modern nation, and the cities are the places where this can be achieved. Smart cities will not only look great but generate employment and revenues proportionally, it is designed to be an economic and social hub, with cutting edge facilities, what this young generation ambitions for. In my opinion, this is a grand move to change our urban life, one city at a time, making a greener and efficient township.

We have a very young generation coming up, with the largest urbanization move we have ever witnessed, and it's important to have the facilities in place to cater to its ambitions. I earnestly feel this is a stroke in the right direction for overall growth of a region and the nation as a whole.

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.

Yes, we really need smart cities in our country, as it will a major factor in overall development of our country economy growth. WHAT IS SMART CITY?

The place/city where we have access of modern technology easily and ultimately help in evolving human lifestyle. Time will be the most important factor here as access of thing smartly help in saving time and money. Yes I agree that without people mind you cannot afford a successful smart city but at the same time you should also look that as the environment get better people also start getting used to that and hence it would be highly recommended to develop cities into smart cities.

Of course, we really needs smart city not only for developing our country but also tomake a standard into international countries. If we talk about smartness so I concerned, think of people should be smart their mentality should be smart, if we will work with smart ideas it will ensure that you are going well path to development our country.

A really interesting feature of smart cities is foreign collaboration. Lots of developed nations are coming and Offering help and experties and technologies in various fields like sanitation, proper waste disposal, traffic.

Controlling, and security. If our government successfully implement the ideas in these smart cities the quality of life will increase. Besides government can later apply all these modern technics in other cities as well.

But building something is easy, what is tough is maintaining. Lots of time we notice there are new infrastructures is built but due to lack of proper maintenance and care those end up in dilapidated conditions.
