Shenzhen may be reaching the best historical node for building a smart city.
Text | Wang Gang
Shenzhen is named "Pengcheng". Peng is formed by the transformation of Kun, which means it is vast and majestic.
Therefore, there is a saying that when a peng spreads its wings, it will fly thousands of miles.
On August 18, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Supporting Shenzhen in Building a Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", which clearly proposed to build Shenzhen into a high-quality development highland, a model of rule of law city, a model of urban civilization, a benchmark for people's livelihood and happiness, and a pioneer of sustainable development.
Overnight, citizens were excited, real estate companies were excited, and local Shenzhen stocks staged a surge in daily price.
The Opinion states:
A comprehensive national science center will be built with Shenzhen as the main base, playing a key role in the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Support Shenzhen in building major innovation carriers such as 5G, artificial intelligence, cyberspace science and technology, life information and biomedicine laboratories, and explore the construction of an international science and technology information center and a medical science academy with a new mechanism.Deepen the "delegation, regulation and service" reform, comprehensively implement the power list, responsibility list and negative list system, promote the reform and construction of "digital government", and realize proactive, precise, integrated and intelligent government management and services.Comprehensively apply technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to improve the level of intelligent and professional social governance. Strengthen the construction of the social credit system and take the lead in building a unified social credit platform. Accelerate the construction of smart cities and support Shenzhen in building a big data center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
This is part of the central government's requirements for Shenzhen to promote the modernization of social governance, and it is also an exploration of its smart city "pioneer demonstration".
Overall, this document is more detailed and specific than the "Outline Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" released on February 18, 2019, from supply-side structural reform to the establishment of a modern economic system, from the construction of a high-quality public service system to sustainable and environmentally friendly urban development.
It seems that Shenzhen has reached the best historical node for building a smart city.
Shenzhen’s Smart City DNA
Shenzhen has been a city for 40 years.
As of 2018, the city has 9 districts under its jurisdiction, with a total area of 1,997.47 square kilometers, a built-up area of 927.96 square kilometers, a permanent population of 13.0266 million, an urban population of 13.0266 million, and an urbanization rate of 100%, making it the first fully urbanized city in China.
From a fishing village to a window of reform and opening up, from a special economic zone to a core city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it can be said that Shenzhen is a product of favorable policies. But it is not just that. After all, China’s other special economic zones, capital sub-centers, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, cities along the Belt and Road Initiative, and municipalities all had the potential to surpass Shenzhen, but in fact they did not.
Even the pattern between Hong Kong and Shenzhen is gradually being reversed.
There is a data to illustrate:
In 2018, Shenzhen's GDP was about 22.1 billion yuan higher than Hong Kong's. This was the first time that Shenzhen's GDP surpassed Hong Kong, and thus became the city with the largest economic output in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
For a long time, Hong Kong's extreme economic prosperity has overshadowed the development speed of its "neighbor" Shenzhen, but changes are happening now.
Among the world's top 500 companies, many are rooted in Shenzhen, such as Ping An, Huawei, Tencent, ZTE, Vanke, and Evergrande.
They have not only opened up the blood vessels of inclusive finance for Shenzhen, built countless high-rise buildings, promoted the development of electronic devices, communication facilities, and social tools, but also brought considerable influence to Shenzhen's science and technology, culture, and thought.
From the perspective of smart cities, these companies have already made in-depth plans for smart cities.
For example, Ping An, as a financial giant, has invested RMB 1 billion to establish Ping An International Smart City, and invested in a large artificial intelligence technology research and development team to support its business in blockchain, cloud computing, and big data.
In January 2019, Ping An helped the Shenzhen Municipal Government launch the "iShenzhen Government Services" APP for unified use throughout Shenzhen. In April 2019, it won the bid for the Shenzhen Smart Development and Reform (Phase I) project. The smart city cloud platform solution has also been promoted in dozens of cities in China.
Mr. Hu Wei, Co-General Manager and CTO of Ping An Smart City, previously told Leifeng.com that the current Shenzhen Municipal Government is actually a very open one, with a stronger sense of public service.
In terms of caring about the industrial environment, the Shenzhen Municipal Government has put out a large amount of (tens of billions) of industrial support funds, and has done a lot of work on tax incentives, subsidies for foreign populations, and subsidies for high-tech talents, and the local business environment has become better.
From the perspective of the officials themselves, they will also pay more attention to improving work efficiency.
Huawei is also a company deeply rooted in Shenzhen. It has made great contributions to Shenzhen's development today in terms of the city's competitive landscape.
Especially with the advancement of 5G technology today, Huawei has brought the voice of Shenzhen and China to the world stage.
After years of business expansion, Huawei has made great progress in smartphones, terminal routers, switches, computers, and chips, and has released Hongmeng, a highly promising operating system.
In the field of smart cities, Huawei has proposed a 1+1+N concept to build a city digital platform, while integrating data and capabilities from different industries to build a hub for all smart applications, which is the smart brain.
Dr. Zheng Zhibin, President of Huawei Enterprise BG Global Smart City Business Unit, told Leifeng.com (official account:
Leifeng.com) that Huawei hopes to truly integrate the data and applications of various industries through the central brain, which can demonstrate the value of data aggregation and integration, and demonstrate the role of coordination and command.
Dr. Zheng Zhibin’s views coincide with the view mentioned in the "Opinions" to "support Shenzhen in building a big data center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", which shows the urgency of connecting urban data.
Research is booming and talent is flying south
In addition to Huawei, Ping An, Tencent, DJI, Sunsea Intelligent and other smart city companies that attract talents, Liwei Zhilian, PCI Technology, Jiangxing Intelligent, Yuntian Lifei and others are all making rapid progress in the urban track, and a number of smart city research institutes are also taking root in Shenzhen.
For example, the most well-known is the research team of Professor Guo Renzhong, an expert in geographic information engineering, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and academician of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences (Smart City Research Institute of Shenzhen University), which gathers the top academic talents in the current urban design and architecture fields.
Guo Renzhong is the first person in China to conduct research on geographic information spatial analysis and published the earliest theoretical monograph in this field, "Spatial Analysis".
In the late 1990s, he presided over the construction of China's earliest large-scale distributed land and resources management information system based on GIS technology in Shenzhen, leading the informationization process of land and resources management in the country.
Guo Renzhong once said, "I am an academician trained in Shenzhen, and more than 80% of my achievements were produced in Shenzhen."
In the process of Shenzhen's development into a modern and international metropolis, Guo Renzhong has left behind a "historical" footprint.
Liu Jiangchuan, a member of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellow, and professor at Simon Fraser University in Canada, is a representative of entrepreneurs who returned to China and created a new field in Shenzhen. Liu
Jiangchuan is the first Microsoft scholar in Hong Kong and the first IEEE Fellow of the Department of Computer Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. After graduating with a doctorate in 2003, he taught in Hong Kong and Canada. In 2015, he won the EWR Steacie Memorial Award, the highest award for young professors awarded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and was personally awarded by the then Governor General of Canada on Parliament Hill and the Governor General's Palace. On
June 23, 2019, Liu Jiangchuan was awarded the title of Fellow of the Canadian National Academy of Engineering.
Jiangxing Intelligence, founded by Liu Jiangchuan, is committed to the development of advanced edge computing technology and its application in the fields of electricity, new energy, industrial assembly line monitoring, operators, etc. Since its establishment, it has successively won orders from major customers such as China Southern Power Grid, Beijing Enterprises Water Group, and China Unicom. It has recently received a RMB 30 million Series A financing led by Songhe Capital and followed by Sequoia Capital and BV Baidu Ventures.
As an AI chip company in the industry, Kunyun Technology founder and CEO Niu Xinyu previously told Leifeng.com that Kunyun had already laid out its presence in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2017, setting up a company and a research institute in Shenzhen.
China's core chips started late, but the introduction of the Greater Bay Area policy is a strong boost to the overall environment and AI ecosystem construction, and is bound to attract more AI development talents to implement AI algorithms.
Lu Yongqing, co-founder and chief scientist of Kunyun Technology, is a professor at Imperial College London, a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS). In recent years, he has spared no effort to study customized computing.
It can be seen that from the early pursuit of processor power efficiency to the emergence of customized computers, the trend of computing architecture to adapt to computing programs seems to be becoming more and more obvious.
......Such research teams, entrepreneurs and scientists are increasingly flocking to Shenzhen, but this is just a microcosm of Shenzhen's rise in the field of smart cities. A larger curtain of technology, capital, talent and creativity is slowly unfolding here.
