Do we really need Smart Cities?

Yes, we obviously need Smart cities because there will be a lot of development for us.

Yes, we really need smart cities because we are in a technological era and we should match our feet with new technologies. But in my point of view, for smart cities smart education and smart facilities are not enough but the people having smart mindset is also entail for this. According to me, the definition of smart cities is the people having smart mindset. In India, people still have stone age mindset and they don't want to change it. There are two face of India like on one side we see there is a dynamic development in a technological field and on the second side we see horrible things of India like rape cases, murder etc due to backward and creep type of mindset of Indian people and just because of this horrible things India is still a" DEVELOPING COUNTRY " after so many years. I believe that education plays a very curious role in setting the mindset of people and as we all patently know the present scenario of our "INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM". So, government should first think to change our education system then to think about smart cities because illiteracy rate of India is still very high so, how government can think about the smart cities by knowing that that half of the population in India are uneducated. Government should amend their protocols and made a strict law for education compulsion for each and every kid of India whether they are poor or rich because "more educated people, more smart cities we have in future". If we really need smart cities, the people who have orthodox mindset should change their mindset according to new generation, should try to learn new technologies, implement in their daily life and motivate other people also. Indian people should cooperate with the government in their good moves like swatch Bharat Abhiyan, skillful India and many things which lead to making India a smart country in future.

YES, We really need smart cities because every people want cleanliness, proper roads, education facilties, infrastructure facilities etc.

SMART CITY is a really good initiatives taken by the government of India. They have shortlisted some cities and will work enough to provide easy access to everything which are generating electricity, generating water supply, good housing facility, efficient transportation.

But to do this work it will have to pass through many loopholes one of them is corruption and lack of resources. It further can lead to a vast difference between rich and poor where working class may find it difficult to reside there.

Idea is good but sufficient effort should be made to execute it successfully.

Hello everyone,

Yes, we really need smart cities. The relevant points are-

1) In smart cities there will be a smart government office It's mean the time duration to complete the work will be less and peoples save their time in government offices.

2) Smart cities important to connect there nearest small town or villages so the development and growth of business is possible.

3) Important to improve government hospital, police station, railway station, bus stand and many government sectors to connect with public.

4) Smart cities important to increase job opportunity.

First develop villages it automatically develops the cities.

Hi guys,

Yes, we do need smart city and for why "we always look into very generic problem like unemployment, poverty, education system, but after knowing particular field can we able to point out things that are going wrong".

Now from why our question is converted into how? "how can we find the problem (corruption, unemployment poverty, education system) in most optimistic way" so for that we have use digitalization in each every field and IOT can be huge help on this. Now we have data as evidence to justified the facts bring a solution for problem.

So, yes, we do really need smart city.

This is my opinion, current situation we need smart cities. Because we need a lot if things and facilities also. So the smart cities also give this types of facilities and also improve technology. If the rural areas people come to the smart cities and improve themselves. If we implement the smart city and increase the people economic level. That all !.

Many people have different ideas about the smart city concept. The problem is that the vision of a smart city is small and the idea is old. If you mean digitization instead of smart cities then it would sound better.

If villages of this country are developed then people will shift from cities to villages and if we concentrate on the cities itself then people will move from villages to cities (for their betterment and trying to achieve their goals and Desires).

But the name smart city is to High-Fi for small changes such as efficient processes in banks and governments and cleanliness and stuff you get it right!

So our vision must increase beyond these small imaginations! And we must have a smart city which will not be overcrowded.

Easy movement for people and have efficient transportation.

Your idea of a smart city may be much different than how I imagine it to be!

Hi, this is Priya.

According to me, the need of smart cities quite embracing as we already came up with smart cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad wes developed technologically and commercially. Due to the migration from villages to nearby cities leads to increase in population. It may create employment opportunities but general consumers facilities will be worse and the cost of living will also more it becomes difficult for middle and poor class families.

We can expect more smart cities only when making already existed smart cities to pollution-free and with abundant resources.
