Do we really need Smart Cities?

Yes, we really need a smart city.

Firstly, I want to tell that what is a smart city? A smart city is that in which there is good infrastructure, good educational institutions, good health department and transportation. Smart city provides many jobs and project.

Hello friends!

According to my point of view, we don't want to smart city we need smart India if India will smart then every city also smart. If we make any city smarter then every one wants to grab life that city people live but it is not possible to manage large number of people at single place so instead of make smart city we should make smart India.

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.

Hello everyone.

Yes we really need smart city. As per my opinions, it is necessary to develop our city. Smart city means what? It means all people get all facilities related to their health, education, environment etc. But now it is not possible only those people who live in the urban area get all these facilities because they have money to get these facilities as per their need. But in rural areas, these all facilities are not provided because they are really poor to get these facilities so they migrate to urban areas for better life. I thought why they need to migrate in urban areas if all facilities provide them in rural areas also so they can also take advantage of it. They have also right to be a part of Smart city but only migration is not the solution there are so many solutions for that like free campaign in rural areas about latest technology how they can use it in their daily life easily, proper schools and colleges built in their areas give children proper education so they also go ahead in their life and make career. Now, India is developing country but after these changes, India will also a developed country so we really need smart cities.

Hi everyone.

Yes, we do need smart cities because smart cities will attract the foreign investors to invest in our country by this our economy gets a huge boost by this we will have more employment oppurtunities by this there will be reduction in poverty. By this we can become a developed nation soon. But it also has some demerits such as only smart cities won't workout. Our people should be smarter enough to cope up with these cities. So I suggest government to take initiative to implement skill development programmes where an individual can improve his/her skill. I believe that one can become smarter with his/her own skills. So making our nation and our people simultaneously smarter would give us better results.

Thank you.

I would like to put my thoughts on the topic 'Do we really need smart cities'. In my opinion, We really need smart cities but not at the cost of cut down trees, increasing pollution, etc. With smart cities we can get services on time like transportation facilities, medical facilities, improved quality of education rather than quality, increase in employment etc. Smart cities will increase the economy of the country as well. The proper use of humans as well as a natural resource will increase by smart cities.

No, we don't need smart city! In fact, we extremely do need smart village, smart people, as well. Because where smart people live that place becomes smart. What will it gain if there would not live smart peoples in a smart city.

Well, I think no. Actually we need smart people who know how to maintain the society and its culture in a proper way.

I think if there is an increment in smart people in our society then not only cities will become smart but also the rural areas and the whole nation will automatically become smart.

I would like to start discussing this topic with an example. Suppose you visited a recently built government infrastructure which is equipped with modern technologies and facilities. At the first instant, you'll feel very contented thinking that our country is moving very fastly towards development (although I personally believe that it is actually happening when I read about our contributions in space missions etc) but if you revisit that place after two months you will see beautiful graffiti of pan Parag or pan masala on the walls. And the modernized equipment that made you feel proud earlier may be placed deadly now. Also if you move outside the washrooms you can venture to smell that pleasant odor coming out. So what I mean to say is that we really need smart cities for the betterment of our country and people but first what we need is to make our thinking smart. Before dreaming of living in smart cities, every individual of our country needs to change their mindset. We have to spread awareness for education, rules, and regulations, how to utilize our resources like water and electricity efficiently. And when we become successful in this, I think 50 % of the smart city agenda is done.

First people should know what smart cities are?

It doesn't need model buildings, High towers.

Years of time to plan by international architect's, waste of huge wealth, thousands of acres area and their own mark by individuals or religious.

Smart city means driving people through advancement in all sectors what they need.

Providing all facilities for the nation.

Not the only for particular places, Or for already developed cities.

Yes, we need smart cities, those as we are one NATION.
