Recently, in the core cbd block of Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City, a "smart runway" was quietly launched, providing a different experience for surrounding residents and makers.

This runway starts from the European and American Financial City Park, along the shore of Xianlin Harbor, and ends at angel village in dream town, with a total length of about 1.25 kilometers. From the beginning to the end, the "science and technology style" of the runway is full.

"We set up a smart screen with AI warm-up function at the starting point, and the public only needs to stand in front of the screen to prepare for sports with the mascot 'Little Dream' of Dream Town." Yao Cong, a staff member of the Urban Development Bureau of the Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City Management Committee, introduced that 3 kinds of "small dreams" images were set up on the big screen, and there were 8 groups of warm-up actions.

On the runway, Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City has set up 5 AI smart poles at intervals of about 300 meters, which can not only automatically carry out intelligent identification punching, but also record the user's running speed, distance and various sports data. Yao Cong said that running here, citizens do not need to carry mobile phones with them to know how many steps they have run, and truly achieve "light loading".

As one of the four "cities of the future" in China, Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City gives full play to the advantages of science and technology resources, organically combines new infrastructure and urban governance, and lays a solid foundation for governance modernization. In recent years, a series of technologies such as smart zebra crossings, smart parking, and smart flood control have been unveiled in Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City, allowing people to feel the beautiful scene of a happy life under the empowerment of technology.

"This 'smart runway' is actually a convenient project in the transformation and upgrading of provincial-level beautiful rivers and lakes in the core urban area of the future science and technology city." Yao Cong said that the scope of transformation and upgrading includes 6 rivers such as Xianlin Port, He Guo Port and Yongsheng Port, with a total length of 10.3 kilometers and a water area of 348,500 square meters, which mainly undertakes functions such as flood control, drainage, storage, ecological landscape, leisure and entertainment.

Since last year, in order to strengthen the construction of the river, focus on making up for the weak shortcomings, protect the ecological environment, highlight the cultural history of the river and lake, improve the quality of the riverbank landscape, enhance the management and protection capacity of the river and lake, and enhance the happiness of residents along the river, Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City has carried out ecological restoration, the improvement of the landscape node and cultural display of the area, and the improvement of the river management and protection facilities in the core urban area.

"We have integrated the 'wisdom' theme of the future science and technology city and created a convenient project like 'smart runway', so that citizens can get close to the beautiful river, but also supervise the river environment in real time, and effectively 'return the river to the people'." The relevant person in charge of the Management Committee of Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City said that it will further increase the new construction and improvement of the green landscape and supporting facilities of rivers and lakes, effectively improve the quality of the regional water environment, and contribute to enhancing the charm value of the city and creating a model land for the integration of industry and city.
