"Ancient Rome in the West and Suzhou in ancient China reached a very high level in terms of urban functionality, culture, convenience and environmental functionality, which can be said to be the smart cities of their time. Now, with the rapid development of science and technology, we have the opportunity and ability to make future cities smarter in construction, management and operation, more convenient and happy for people, optimize resources and maximize efficiency, and make the whole social and economic life more harmonious and sustainable." Yang Lei, CEO of Sibawan Group, said at the 7th China Annual Trade in Services Conference in Foshan, Guangdong province, on Nov 24.
The 7th China Annual Conference on Trade in Services opened in Foshan, Guangdong province on Nov 24, 2017. More than 800 industry insiders from government departments, international organizations, research institutions and representative enterprises attended the event to discuss the development trend and role of the service trade industry in the "One Belt, One Road" strategy. Among them, the construction of smart city has become a new focus of attention.
In a dialogue with guests from China Unicom, China International Capital Corporation and Zhubajie on the topic of opportunities and challenges for the development of trade in services under the Belt and Road strategy, Mr. Yang Lei said that cities with higher population density have much lower carbon emissions than rural or suburban areas and are more friendly to the environment. To better promote the development of cities, the world's top technology companies are turning their eyes to smart cities. In October 2017, Google's Sidewalk Lab announced plans to create a smart city in Toronto's East Lakefront. In November, it was reported that Bill Gates planned to build a new smart city of 200,000 people in Arizona. American company Sibaywan Group has also started a smart city pilot project. After careful evaluation, Qingdao in China was selected as the first futuristic city pilot site among dozens of locations around the world.
Mr. Yang Lei also said that the construction of future cities is not only a matter of IT, but also a complex system engineering covering real estate construction, technology application, industrial development and operation management, which is the organic coordination and unification of technology and humanity. For example, artificial intelligence can improve the automation ability of production and service, and big data can improve the effectiveness of resource allocation, the rationality of personnel scheduling, the coordination of urban functions, and the scientific nature of management decisions. Let science and technology serve the overall goal of social development, so as to optimize the industrial structure, change the development mode, and make the city run more orderly, develop more efficiently and make urban life more convenient.
