1. Demerits Of Smart City
Plan
INNOVATIONS FOR MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT WITHIN SMART CITIES NEED TO AVOID
UNNECESSARY TRANSPORT, TO MAKE TRANSPORT MUCH RELIABLE AND TO MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE USER
CAPITAL - LIKE ALL GRAND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS, THIS ONE NEEDS A CRITICAL RESOURCE
, CAPITAL. INDIA DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH CAPITAL TO PRODUCE 100 CITIES. IF TOO MANY
OF THESE ARE MADE AT ONCE, THEY'LL END UP AS HALF FINISHED DETROITS.
CORRUPTION - A SMART CITY WOULDN'T ELIMINATE CORRUPTION. CORRUPTION MIGHT
JUST BECOME MORE SOPHISTICATED AND LEAD TO ALL THE BENEFITS BEING WASHED AWAY.
GAP BETWEEN POOR AND RICH : THERE IS A RISK THAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE POOR AND
THE RICH MIGHT INCREASE , ESPECIALLY IF THE WORKING CLASSES CAN'T FIND ANY PLACE
IN THE NEW CITIES. A BETTER SOLUTION SHOULD BE MADE HOUSING AFFORDABLE.
