In order to help more customers and partners jointly promote the intelligent upgrade of cities and jointly promote the construction of Digital China, Huawei released the new concept of "Urban Intelligence" yesterday. Yang Ping, Vice President of Huawei EBG China, said: Urban Intelligence can realize the digitization of all elements of the city, real-time visualization of the city status, and the coordination and intelligence of urban management decisions, which will help the city's "scientific, refined, and intelligent" management, and is the new form of future cities.

Data perception, connection, and cloud computing are only the foundation for smart cities, while artificial intelligence is the engine for realizing urban intelligence and the best way to monetize past investments in urban digital infrastructure. Huawei's full-stack, full-scenario AI solution opens Huawei's continuous investment and breakthroughs in chips, algorithms, and other fields over the past 30 years to a wide range of application developers through application enablement interfaces, which will greatly reduce the threshold for customers and partners to use Huawei's artificial intelligence capabilities.

Information and communication technology is profoundly changing the cities we live in and has become an important element of our lives. Academician Guo Renzhong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering introduced in his report that the process of urban development and change has successively gone through the natural city paradigm, the humanistic city paradigm, and the ecological city paradigm. Many urban diseases are becoming increasingly prominent. At present, only smart cities can solve these urban diseases. Smart cities have been recognized as the urban paradigm of the future. The smart city paradigm is a new urban paradigm supported by new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things in the new ICT era. Building an urban intelligent body through new ICT technology is an effective way to create a smart city paradigm, a new model of urban governance, a new form of urban economy, a new way of urban life, and a new system of urban science.

Technological innovation is only a means. The goal of smart city construction is to continuously improve the level of urban governance through technological means. Feng Kui, a researcher at the Urban Center of the National Development and Reform Commission and secretary-general of the Academic Committee, said: Technological innovation can drive and improve the level of urban governance. At the same time, the demand for urban governance can also drive technological innovation. The two interact with each other. There are five basic trends in urban governance: a larger scope of governance, higher precision of governance, lower cost of governance, more participation in governance, and simpler procedures for governance. This has put forward demands for smart city construction and pointed out the direction for technological innovation. We must avoid the misunderstanding of technological innovation determinism and governance demand determinism, and promote dialogue between technological innovation and urban governance and city managers.
