Smart city is an increasing demand in the backdrop of urbanization and population growth. However, without digitization it is hardly possible to get smart city.
Smart City is a misnomer & doesn't mean much. All cities require the sane things. Well laid out plan allocating spaces for residential areas, commercial areas, schools, hospitals, parking places etc, adequate open spaces, air, rail and road connectivity, good public transport, adequate water & electricity, good waste disposal & sewerage systems, and being safe from natural disasters like floods, and a effective policing system.
I agree with Dr. Emmanuel. All what makes life smart or easy without much hustle. In addition, internet facilities that would facilitate easy communication, transportation, education and research in all fields to stir up development is crucial in smart cities.
