The intelligence level of a city is an important manifestation of the city's development level and core competitiveness. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his visit to Zhejiang, “Use advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, blockchain, and AI to promote the innovation of urban management methods, management models, and management concepts, from digital city to intelligent city to smart city, so that the city More Smarter is the only way to promote the modernization of urban governance systems and governance capabilities, and the prospects are broad. "How to make cities smarter is an important issue faced by modern urban governance.
The physical space and social space contained in a modern city are unprecedentedly complex and huge, and it is a "giant system" that encompasses many subsystems. With the development of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., the many subsystems of the city and the intricate relationships between them are mapped to the information space through digitization, thus forming an informatization "giant system" of the ternary integration of humans, machines and objects. It provides convenient and intelligent means for further strengthening overall planning and optimizing urban governance. Satisfying the people's yearning for a better life, promoting high-quality economic development, and improving the level of urban management and social governance are important goals for the modernization of urban governance. To improve the modernization of urban governance, it is necessary to strengthen overall planning, optimize systems and mechanisms, coordinate planning, construction, and management, coordinate production, life, and ecology, and coordinate the development of the integration of physical space, social space, and information space.
At present, openness, coordination, service, and innovation have become the inherent requirements of modern urban development, as well as important characteristics of modern urban governance. Smart cities are just the process and result of two-way interactive development and spiral upward evolution between advanced technology and modern urban development needs. This process and results are mainly reflected in the continuous improvement of modern city governance with a new generation of information technology, and give full play to the comprehensive effectiveness of smart cities in solving problems, transformation and upgrading, innovative development, and providing demonstrations in the complex and huge system of modern cities. The first is to effectively alleviate various modern urban diseases such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource shortage, and hidden safety hazards that have occurred in the process of industrialization and urbanization, adhere to the new development concept, and build an eco-city and low-carbon city. The second is to comprehensively promote the transformation and upgrading of medical, transportation, logistics, finance, communications, education, energy, environmental protection and other fields. The third is to comprehensively promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the Internet of Things, cloud computing, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain, and promote the development of strategic emerging industries. The fourth is to fully demonstrate the exemplary role of smart cities in the modernization of governance systems and governance capabilities through priority development and leading development.
Nowadays China's smart city construction has made great progress, and the scale of smart city construction is at the forefront of the world. In 2018, all of China's sub-provincial cities, 76% or more prefecture-level cities, and more than 32% county-level cities, a total of about 500 cities have clearly proposed or are building new smart cities. The development practice of smart cities in China has continuously enriched the connotation of urban intelligence. Of course, we must also realize that problems such as lagging concepts, fragmentation, information islands, and unclear characteristics have also emerged in this process, which need to be overcome and promote the construction of smart cities to a new level.
In the process of building a new type of smart city, it is necessary to fully grasp the growth of the urban brain and the evolvability of the smart city. The so-called growth of the urban brain mainly refers to the long-term survival and continuous optimization of the urban brain under the constantly changing conditions of the software and hardware environment on which it is based, the external resources it relies on, and the user goals it serves. The so-called evolvability of smart cities mainly means that under the support of new generation of information technology, the development of modern cities continues to break through the barriers of traditional urban structures such as closure and fragmentation, in terms of openness, innovation, collaboration, service, and interaction. The aspect can be deeper, more channels, and smarter. The dual force driving and spiraling of the growth of the urban brain and the evolvability of smart cities will continue to integrate the concepts of digitization, informationization, systemization, and intelligence within the framework of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. Harmony is introduced into smart cities to continue to provide technology and platform support for realizing the modernization of urban governance under modern complex social conditions, and ultimately achieve the goal of technology to make human life better.
