The smart city construction program is enough!

Smart city construction has emerged in Europe and the United States, and countries around the world have set the development of smart cities as a goal for the next few years. Although our country started late, but in the government's support and participation of enterprises, smart city construction has also made progress in stages, in our country has more than 500 cities to carry out the relevant construction. With the maturity of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data and other technologies, the development of China's smart city will gradually move towards data *** enjoyment, Internet of everything, ecological *** win.

Although the domestic smart city construction is in full swing, but what exactly is a smart city, how to start the construction of the smart city, in the smart city of the many segments of the field should be most concerned about what?

In this post, we will share the report "China Smart City Research Report 2019", which describes the conceptual architecture, development background, and overall status of smart cities, focuses on the analysis of the three major areas of smart security, smart transportation, and smart community landing applications, and also examines the innovative practices of the construction of wisdom in some of the domestic cities.

What is a smart city?

The concept of "city" has emerged since the end of primitive society, and after thousands of years of development and evolution, it has always been centered on the core elements of people, the environment, and information, and has gradually improved the construction of urban infrastructure and optimized the spatial structure of the city. As a new model and concept of modern urban operation and governance, smart city is an inevitable stage in the development of modern cities, based on the information and digitalization of complete network communication infrastructure, massive data resources, and the integration of multi-disciplinary business processes.

The participants of the "smart city" are mainly the government and enterprises, but due to the different starting points and focuses, there is no unified and clear authoritative definition.

The network communication technology (ICT) architecture of a smart city consists of five layers from bottom to top, in the following order: IOT perception layer, network communication layer, computation and storage layer, data and service fusion layer, and intelligent application layer, and in addition to the infrastructure, it also contains the construction management system, the security guarantee system, and the operation and maintenance management system.

What is the background and overall status of smart city development?

The development of the city so far has basically completed the infrastructure construction, and began to shift from external construction to internal governance. On the one hand, along with the acceleration of urbanization, traffic congestion, environmental pollution and other urban problems are highlighted; on the other hand, along with the improvement of people's economic level, more livable, convenient and safe urban life has become a new pursuit of people; at the same time, under the impetus of the increasingly mature technology of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, etc., the smart city has successfully sailed into the track of the city's construction, and under the leadership of the government and the support of the enterprises The rapid development of smart cities has been achieved under the leadership of the government and the support of enterprises.

Since the Ministry of Housing and Construction launched the first batch of national smart city pilot projects at the end of 2012, the number of smart city pilots in China has continued to increase, and as of the end of 2016, the number is close to 600, of which the number of the first three batches of national smart city pilots announced by the Ministry of Housing and Construction totaled 290. 2017 is the second year of the proposal of a "new type of smart city".

China's smart city pilots have basically covered all provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country. Most of the cities and regions that have been selected as China's smart city pilots are located along the Yellow Bohai Sea and in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. Shandong smart city pilot number is the most, 30, followed by Jiangsu 28, Hunan ranks third, 22. There is still a big difference between the east and west of the smart city pilot, in addition to Macao, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the number of smart city pilots in the region with the lowest number of Tibet, only two.

The Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Smart Cities emphasizes that the construction of smart cities must be people-oriented and pragmatic. The development of smart cities should be centered on "people" and build a smart city ecosystem around them. Around the user as the core of China's smart city ecological participants mainly include managers, application developers, system integrators, service operators, third-party organizations.

The three major application areas of smart city

On the basis of policy support and infrastructure readiness, smart city application scenarios are becoming increasingly rich, such as smart security, smart transportation, smart community, smart business, smart tourism, smart environmental protection, and smart energy. Intelligent security, intelligent transportation, intelligent community is currently the development of smart cities in the highest demand, the fastest landing, technology and services are relatively mature in the three major areas.

1, intelligent security

Since 2015, the security industry has gradually introduced AI technology, the term "intelligent security" began to enter the public field of vision. Intelligent security breaks through the boundaries of traditional security, and further integration with IT, telecommunications, construction, environmental protection, property and other fields, expanding the industrial connotation around the theme of security, showing complementary advantages, synergistic development of the "big security" industry pattern.

2, intelligent transportation

Transportation is the core artery of a city, but also an important part of the smart city construction. Intelligent transportation as a new service system, is in the field of transportation to fully utilize the Internet of Things, spatial awareness, cloud computing, mobile Internet and other new generation of information technology, traffic management, transportation, public travel and other areas of transportation, as well as transportation construction and management of the whole process of control and support, so that the transportation system in the region, the city or even a larger spatial scope with the ability to perceive, interconnect, analyze, predict, control, etc., in order to fully protect the traffic safety and safety of the city, and to ensure the safety and security of the city.

3, intelligent community

Community is the "cell" of the city, intelligent community as an important part of the smart city, is a new model and new form of community management, which is the community residents as the core of the service, the use of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, mobile Internet and other new generation of information and communication technology integration and application to provide residents with secure, efficient, safe, and effective services. applications to provide residents with a safe, efficient, comfortable and convenient living environment that fully meets the needs of residents' life and development.

The smart community covers all services within and around the community, including smart home, smart property, smart lighting, smart security, smart parking and other infrastructure services within the community, and the community around the community mainly includes smart pension, smart healthcare, smart education, smart retail, smart finance, smart housekeeping, smart energy and other livelihood services.

Challenges and trends in the development of smart cities

After nearly a decade of development, the construction model of smart cities is led by the government and invested a lot of money, and enterprises actively participate in providing technology and solution support. The smart city construction, which seems to have successfully entered the fast lane, is facing the three major challenges of how to enhance economic benefits, safeguard information security, and realize information **** enjoyment across districts and levels.

Looking ahead, the focus on a people-centered "smart society" will be the future vision for smart city construction and development in China. At the same time, as the technology provided by enterprises becomes more and more mature, the government promotes and establishes unified data centers, and develops a relevant legal system for data openness to achieve cross-sectoral ****enjoyment of data. The isolation of data in various fields will be broken and gradually move towards integration.

In addition, the smart city construction is not just a small project, its wide coverage, involving many fields, large-scale projects, capital investment and other characteristics of the smart city construction need to be involved in multiple parties to complete, so the government organizations, industry associations, academic research institutions, technology/products/operation service providers and other large number of high-quality smart city participants cooperate with each other, *** with the construction of a three-dimensional "system integration". The three-dimensional "system integration/operation/service+open IoT platform+big data cloud platform+government-enterprise cooperation platform" industrial ecosystem.
