Smart city from the perspective of numbers
China is the world leader in digital infrastructure construction, with a well-defined system for open data sharing, and a sound system for institutional support. At the macro level, “accelerating digital development and building a digital China” is listed as an independent section in the outline of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, which points out the need to develop seven key industries of the digital economy: cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, industrial Internet, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality as well as augmented reality. Active efforts are being made to promote urban digital governance at the national and local levels. On the technical front, digital technologies related to urban service platforms such as big data, AI, and blockchain are maturing through iteration. On the financial side, according to research by IDC, investment in smart city construction in cities below the third tier will exceed 100 billion yuan in the next three years, accounting for nearly 60% of China’s total spending on smart city. It can be seen that the development of digitally driven smart cities is in full swing.
This CHTF China Smart City Expo has five exhibition areas: smart city ecosystem, new infrastructure, digital economy and industrial innovation, artificial intelligence and smart technology experience, and achievements of smart city. The exhibition covers the top-level smart city planning and solutions for “urban planning and management” and “urban safety and emergency”; development and construction of infrastructure such as 5G infrastructure, industrial Internet, smart manufacturing, and urban data centers; new technologies and new products in the fields of digital industry, smart manufacturing, smart governance, smart transport, smart energy, smart agriculture, smart cultural tourism, among other things. Visitors can experience the world’s leading new technologies and equipment in voice interaction, biometrics, affective computing, machine vision, man-machine interaction, spatial recognition, eyeball tracking, natural language interaction, etc. Also on display are achievements in the development of leading smart cities and benchmarking companies in the smart city sector.
