“Short written response” on “Smart Liveable Cities”
The concept smart cities focus on to make different changes via help of innovation and
advancement. The technology and development helps to make these cities different from
other cities. The major focus of such concepts relates the high education, advanced
technology, digitalization and safe and secure environment (de Jong, et. al., 2016). This
concept also includes different innovation which attracts large number people towards these
cities. The population of these cities can also identifies as most of the people have good
education and sophisticated lifestyle (Hayat, 2016). These cities also have good development
growth the major reason of such growth is the balanced economic growth of the cities. These
can be understood that the places where have balanced and good development growth can
make effective approach is front of the different aspects (Isa, et. al., 2018).
These cities have a number of good and effective aspect which makes the lifestyle trendy and
sophisticate. One the other hand, there are some of the negative points which makes major
concern about the livelihood in smart cities. Different innovation and technologies makes the
environment dusty and polluted which affects the health and beauty of the cities (Yigitcanlar,
et. al., 2018). The other issue which raises is that in these cities life becomes busy. This
business makes the people careless about their health and care. Most of the people do not
care about their health take any kind of food in their day to day life. This issues affects their
life negatively (Trencher & Karvonen, 2019). These is necessary to make the ideas and
concepts which helps to reduce such issues. The resolution will make these cities more
developed.
