What is a smart city?

In 2012, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development officially issued the "Notice on Launching the National Smart City Pilot Work". Since then, China has gradually issued a number of policies on the construction of smart cities. Up to now, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has issued three batches of smart city pilot town lists, and a total of 290 towns have participated in the construction of smart cities.

The country promotes the construction of smart cities on such a large scale, and smart cities based on blockchain and other technologies are no longer "future cities" for us.

So what exactly is a smart city? How will they affect people's lives?

To put it simply, a smart city is to use digital technology to create a livable home, which can improve the quality of life and the sustainable development of the city.

In the "National Smart City (District, Town) Pilot Index System" issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, four "first-level indicators" are proposed, namely security system and infrastructure, smart construction and livability, smart management and service, and smart industry and economy.

This also indicates the field of implementation of smart city construction. "Smart+" will carry out special applications in government services, transportation, logistics, environmental protection, finance and other aspects to transform traditional industries and realize industrial upgrading and innovation.

The McKinsey Global Institute's research shows that the most significant improvement of smart city construction to human life is mainly reflected in public safety, time efficiency, convenience, health management and environmental quality.

In the construction of smart cities in many cities, there are cases of government-enterprise cooperation. Although all walks of life have a good vision for smart cities, they believe that "smart +" can really improve the lives of citizens.text

However, even in the face of monetization problems, the government and enterprises are still investing heavily in and supporting the construction of smart cities. The main reason is that the value of a smart city project cannot be measured only from the perspective of short-term capital realization, but also social benefits and social feedback: whether it has effectively improved the quality of life of citizens and enhanced the sustainable development capacity of the city.secondary title

What is the strength of Shenzhen?

Shenzhen Yantian has received technical support from three technology giants in this smart city and "digital government" construction project, making it a well-deserved "hard-core player" in smart cities. However, Shenzhen's ambition to strive to create a new model of domestic smart cities and become a sample of international smart cities does not stop there.

First of all, Shenzhen, located in the core of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, has received strong support from the state in building a "demonstration zone" and a "model city", and is known as the "son of heaven". .

In September this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Supporting Shenzhen to Build a Pioneering Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" (Hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), Shenzhen is positioned as a "pioneering demonstration area of ​​socialism with Chinese characteristics", and its development goal is "to build a modern, international and innovative city".

The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy; build a comprehensive national science center with Shenzhen as the main position; support Shenzhen in building major innovation carriers such as 5G, artificial intelligence, cyberspace science and technology, life information and biomedical laboratories, and explore the construction of an international science and technology information center and a new mechanism of medicine Academy of Sciences.

With the support of policies, Shenzhen has obtained a large amount of financial support and human resources, and has also attracted more technological innovation enterprises and institutions to settle in Shenzhen.

On the other hand, Shenzhen's technology companies are the "brain" of Shenzhen's construction of a smart city. In addition to the three mentioned in this article, Shenzhen also has tens of thousands of state-level high-tech enterprises. These technology companies and R&D institutions can also provide strong technical support for the construction of smart cities.

On November 28, the 2019 Smart China Annual Conference released the 9th China Smart City Development Level Evaluation Report, in which Shenzhen ranked first with a score of 77.4 and won the 9th China Smart City Construction Comprehensive Leading Award.
