Jiangshan generation of talented people, each leading for hundreds of years.
Cities are the product of the development of human civilization. There were no cities in the world until the emergence of agricultural civilization. The completion of the industrial revolution pushed the development of human cities to a new height, industrial cities gradually become the leading role of human society; Now, the third scientific and technological revolution is bound to set off a new round of social change, and smart city will be the protagonist of the third scientific and technological revolution.
The only solution to urban problems is smart cities
Since it was officially proposed by IBM in 2010, smart city has attracted the attention of all countries in just a few years. The reason lies in the three advantages of smart city.
First of all, it can solve urban diseases. With the continuous advancement of urbanization, more and more cities are also facing the threat of urban disease, such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, disorder, intensified demand contradiction and so on. However, smart city can use cloud computing, big data artificial intelligence and other technologies to coordinate and allocate urban resources such as energy, transportation and medical treatment, so as to solve the urban diseases that plague urban development. For example, after the construction of smart city in Hangzhou, the degree of urban traffic congestion decreased by 10%-20%, which shows that the construction of smart city has obvious effect on solving urban diseases.
Second, improve the quality of people’s lives. Traditional city only can meet the needs of people to live, and can’t satisfy people faster and faster pace of life, the Internet of things technology, 5 g technology, the wisdom of the big data and cloud computing is a different city, to provide residents with artificial intelligence more quick and intuitive life information, greatly improve the efficiency of people’s life and save a lot of time cost, This will enable people to take time off from work and improve their quality of life.
Finally, improve the efficiency of urban management. With the increasing number and size of cities, the management of cities is becoming more and more complex, and it has become a big heart of cities. Traditional urban management is prone to information islands, which leads to low efficiency of urban management. However, since the data of smart city is uniformly stored in the “city brain”, urban managers can intuitively analyze and understand the situation of various regions, thus improving the efficiency of urban management. Yinchuan, for example, ranks 18th in the world’s top 20 smart cities list released by JuniperResearch, a British market research agency. It is understood that the smart Yinchuan City operation command Center integrates the three major functions of smart city daily operation, emergency command and comprehensive urban management, breaking the phenomenon of information island in urban data circulation, stepping out of the “Yinchuan mode” in many smart city construction, and greatly improving the efficiency of urban management.
Three good news, promote smart city into the fast lane
Although the concept of smart city was officially put forward in 2010, the development of smart city is not slow. In 2014, There were more than 100 smart cities in China. By 2020, I will build more than 500 smart cities. The rapid development of smart cities can not be separated from the support of technology, concept and policy.
Technical support. To realize the construction and popularization of smart city, it is necessary to solve the technical problems in communication technology, Internet of things, cloud services and artificial intelligence. Fortunately, these problems have been preliminarily solved.
In terms of communication technology, the popularization of 4G technology and the breakthrough of 5G technology provide an efficient way for the transmission of smart city information. In terms of Internet of Things technology, the breakthrough of communication technology and the wide application of various intelligent devices have made the Internet of Things popular in China, which is close to the era of interconnection of all things. In terms of cloud services, cloud computing and cloud storage technologies have been quite mature, providing a guarantee for data processing and storage of smart cities. Finally, although artificial intelligence is still in the initial stage and its development is not mature, it has been able to be put into the actual combat of smart city. These four key technological breakthroughs have enabled smart cities to rise rapidly in a very short time.
The transformation of urban development concept. The urban development concept of both decision-makers and the general public is developing towards the direction of “smart city”, which is conducive to promoting the construction of smart city. The urban development concept of decision-makers plays a decisive role in urban development, and the change of the urban development concept of the general public plays a driving role in urban development. At present, both of these two elements are changing towards the concept of smart city, so smart city can develop rapidly.
Strong policy support. In wisdom city construction cannot leave the policy of the escort, “government work report” or “much starker choices-and graver consequences-in” clearly put forward the demand of the wisdom urban planning, and increase investment in wisdom city government all over, in a short span of a few years of investment is more than 2 trillion, to know China’s financial revenue of 2017 to 17.3 trillion, This shows the government’s strong support for smart cities.
The three clever tricks are in addition to huawei’s two big heart problems in smart city construction
On September 12, 2018, Shan Zhiguang, director of the Information and Industrial Development Department of The State Information Center, said at the 2018 China-Singapore High-level Forum that the development of Smart cities in China has not yet finished the process of blind men and elephants, and it is urgent to solve the problem of how to develop smart cities. The Chinese market is mainly to “communication manufacturers, telecommunications operators and Internet enterprise” as the leading factor of three kinds of wisdom city construction, communications are now more bullish maker huawei dominated “hardware as the center” the wisdom of the city construction, in 2017 alone, huawei has been involved in the 48 wisdom cities such as Beijing, shenzhen, dunhuang project, It has also participated in the construction of more than 120 smart cities in the international market, but there are still some shortcomings in the construction of smart cities.
The self-processing capacity of smart cities needs to be improved. Ai plays a crucial role in smart cities, such as monitoring and analyzing roads in real time and giving corresponding instructions to make urban traffic smarter and improve people’s efficiency. Huawei has great advantages in communication technology, Internet of things and cloud services, but it is still at a disadvantage in artificial intelligence, which makes it difficult for Huawei’s smart city solutions to form competitive advantages when compared with other solutions such as IBM and Google.
Internationalization resistance. As a key link of smart city, 5G network is the nerve center of smart city. Although Huawei does not have any problems with 5G technology, some countries and regions do not abide by market rules and have maliciously shut Huawei out. The most typical case is that the United States, Australia and India have banned Huawei’S 5G technology from entering their markets. The number of countries restricting Huawei may increase. The nerve center of smart city is 5G communication technology. Without the support of communication technology, Huawei’s resistance to smart city construction in the world will increase.
So, how should Huawei go on this road?
First, strengthen digital technology research and development. Digital technology is the foundation of smart city. In terms of smart city construction, whether the neural system of smart city proposed by Huawei, Alibaba’s ET CITY Brain, Baidu’s AI CITY, Tencent’s Digital CITY, Ping An Technology’s Smart CITY Cloud, IFlyTek’s IflySuper Brain, Inspur’s Urban Smart Brain, jingdong’s urban computing and other core technologies are all digital technologies. However, the application of digital technologies in smart CITY has not been perfect yet. Only strengthening can accelerate the pace of smart city construction and form strong competitiveness.
Second, participate in the development of industry and international standards. The truth of “backwardness will be beaten, poverty will starve, aphasia will be scolded” applies not only to the international environment, but also to the competition of enterprises. China’s communication history is the best proof.
In the 1G era, Korea’s communication technology is blank and restricted by foreign countries. To 2G era, China’s communication technology has made some breakthroughs, can closely catch up with foreign advanced technology, but still no say; In the 3G era, foreign mobile communication technology made a breakthrough and gained a small part of the voice. With the development of 4G era, China’s mobile communication technology is keeping pace with foreign advanced technology and can also participate in the formulation of standards. In the coming 5G era, China’s communication technology has been in a leading position, and its participation and discourse power in the formulation of international communication standards will be higher and higher.
Experience tells us, in the development of Chinese communication industry standard is indispensable, it promotes the development of wisdom city better, while the standard makers will take advantage in the industry, so in the wisdom of the city construction, huawei should use oneself in communication and scientific research and technology advantages, and actively participate in to more wisdom city standards, Seeking a greater voice.
Third, continue to strengthen talent training and investment. To achieve the above two requirements, can not leave the support of talent, talent is the biggest competitiveness of enterprises. Although Huawei has a large number of talents, including 700 world-class scientists, this is not enough. The construction of smart city is a huge project that takes a long time and involves a large number of personnel. Therefore, Huawei should continue to strengthen the cultivation of talents and provide continuous power for the company.
summary
Smart city is an inevitable outcome of the development and progress of human civilization. At present, smart city is developing rapidly. However, the development of smart city is not achieved overnight. In addition, smart city development should have a vision, overall planning and implementation steps, and should be carried out in accordance with the local environment and conditions. Only in this way can we promote the healthy development of smart city and drive the development of social economy, so that we can live in smart city faster and enjoy the fun brought by smart city.
