Is it really "smart" to build a smart city? In fact, otherwise, a city wants "wisdom", and more importantly, operation.

Recently, the "2022 Smart City White Paper" jointly released by the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center and the China Industrial Internet Development Alliance, jointly released by Lenovo Group, shows that the construction of smart cities is undergoing "construction" to "operation" stage. With the help of digital twins and other technologies, injecting urban interaction, realizing the direction of the upgrading and development of smart cities in the form of interactive forms to interactive forms.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Construction, there are currently nearly 300 smart cities in my country, and the scale of related market expenditures has reached 25.9 billion US dollars. But in smart cities, not all of them are longing for future life, but also many shortcomings in the process of construction and operation. The white paper mentioned that the data of the data and the islands of data, the problems of urban management, the improvement of urban development and the improvement of the people's living standards, and reducing carbon emissions are the main problems faced in the construction of smart cities in my country.

In fact, many technology companies have mature solutions for the operation of smart cities. The AI ​​city brain launched by Alibaba Cloud has landed in Hangzhou, Jiujiang, Nanjing Jianye and other places. Tencent has also signed contracts with cities such as Chengdu and Leizhou to jointly explore creating smart cities. In addition, science and technology companies such as HKUST Xunfei, Lenovo, Huawei Cloud have launched smart city projects based on similar technology.

From the perspective of operating ideas, smart cities are upgrading from "urban digitalization" to "digital urbanization". Taking Lenovo as an example, through the urban -level digital twin platform, and the new IT intelligent technology architecture of "Duanbianyun.com", and the green energy architecture of "Yuanwanghe Reserve and Control", it can not only build digital twins and manage cities efficiently. At the same time, it can realize the rapid replication ability from a city to more cities.

What form will be presented by the smart cities built under digital twins? The white paper predicts that smart cities should have the six major characteristics of "accurate understanding, timely processing, cloud processing, reliable transmission, high -quality services, safe and stable"; that is, pass through Intelligent terminal accurate perception, timely processing through intelligent edges, reliable transmission and calculation through networks and clouds, forming a smart city technology system with service -oriented, secure, stable and reliable.

IDC recently announced that the popularization rate and expenditure scale of my country's smart city projects are currently at the world's leading level. As the model that can be replicated and learned from my country's smart city industry will gradually be formed, the agency predicts that by 2024, 70%of cities in China will adopt digital twin technology to achieve sustainable city development and improve urban operational efficiency. Improve the quality of urban environment and achieve carbon emissions targets.
