Since the announcement of the first batch of national smart city pilot lists and the release of the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Smart Cities", smart city-related projects have attracted a large number of government resources, social capital and institutions.
However, the construction in various places has also exposed problems such as lagging planning and design, and blindly following the trend in construction, resulting in the superficial application of wisdom. Different departments, different counties and districts, the connotation and extension of the construction of smart cities are not the same, and they work independently, resulting in the construction of smart cities only in the name of the city, and it has become a useless image project.
In this context, on April 2, the National Data Bureau issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Development of Smart Cities and Promoting the Digital Transformation of Cities (Draft for Comments)" (hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions), which pointed out the direction for the next stage of smart city transformation and development.
What is global digitalization?
Global digitalization is the topic of the guiding opinions, and it is also the guiding ideology throughout the whole text, which can be summarized into three major characteristics when interpreted in the context of the original text.
Global app
"Strive to promote the digital transformation of urban economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization, and strive to build a sustainable development ecology of digital transformation"
In other words, the global digitalization of smart cities is to bring all aspects of urban management, including economy, politics, culture, society, ecology, etc., into the scope of digitalization, and realize the efficient, intelligent and sustainable development of urban operation through the integration and application of digital technology.
Holographic perception
"Develop emerging digital industries according to local conditions, and strengthen the integrated application of key digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, advanced computing, future networks, satellite remote sensing, and 3D modeling in urban scenarios......"
It is not only the digitization of traditional urban management and service processes, but also the real-time collection, analysis, processing and feedback of urban operation data through the integrated application of advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, so as to realize the precision and intelligence of urban management.
Whole Tong
"Comprehensively reshape the technical architecture of smart cities, systematically change the urban management process, and promote the deep integration of industry and city"
"Comprehensively improve the holistic, systematic and collaborative digital transformation of the whole city"
For infrastructure, public services, social governance, and economic industries, they are independent systems, but they also need to interact and interact with the environment composed of other systems as a whole, and there will be mutual influences between these subsystems, which need to be taken seriously.
How to promote global digital transformation?
It is not difficult to see that the basic mechanism of collaborative optimization of urban systems based on data elements has not changed under the new policy, which proves that the direction of data-first urban transformation and construction is correct, and the use of data visualization to achieve a comprehensive and multi-angle presentation of urban operation status is still essential.
However, compared with the traditional smart city system, in the era of data visualization 2.0, we need to connect supply and demand more efficiently through data and computing, achieve more accurate matching, and make limited stock resources more efficient.
Smart Transportation
In the era of global digitalization, we should not only consider the coordination of vehicles, roads, and people, but also take into account the functional elements such as resident subsystems, communication subsystems, and meteorological subsystems, grasp the travel rules and weather changes of residents, and release information from monitoring and emergency related information systems to mobile intelligent terminal clients, mobile phone text messages, and information board control platforms, so as to provide more timely, accurate and convenient information services for the public.
At a time when various emerging business formats such as shared bicycles, online car-hailing, express delivery, new energy trams, and self-driving taxis are symbiotic, urban traffic control also needs to establish spatio-temporal dynamic thinking, and predictively adjust supply according to people's demand for facilities and services in specific scenarios. For example, adjust the stopping time of transportation hub stations according to the density of riders during peak meal hours, and reasonably plan urban road construction according to the trajectory of traffic flow.
Smart government affairs
At the same time, it integrates urban population data, government public information, social public opinion, and authoritative data to conduct big data analysis to display a series of important indicators such as government policies, social affairs, public safety, urban development planning, and digital economy, so as to help government departments comprehensively supervise and manage government affairs.
Smart Communities
Create an "online + offline" comprehensive supervision system, comprehensively promote the safety supervision of key places such as industrial enterprises, buildings, commercial carriers, and residential buildings, and use a digital supervision base that gathers all kinds of data and systems to install "smart eyes" for the potential safety hazards hidden under the prosperity of the city.
For example, through the effective monitoring of gas concentration and the accurate location of gas leakage, automatic alarms can be realized and alarm information can be sent to users, so as to realize the leap and transformation from "system" to "intelligent" gas treatment.
Smart industry
Under the trend of industry-city integration, a good living experience and efficient enterprise production capacity are indispensable, and the industrial park can effectively solve the problems of "industrial hollowing" and "island isolation" by integrating multiple systems such as security, environmental monitoring, energy consumption management, building rental control, and public services, comprehensively considering scenarios such as business office, leisure and entertainment, and talent residence.
Smart city is not a simple informatization project, but a comprehensive standard of administrative management, urban experience, and industrial development, and the integration of city-related industries.
The focus of the construction of a global digital smart city is not technology and cost, but the "one account" of the data resource system, "one cloud" and "one network" of digital infrastructure.
