Yue Kun, President of the Global Government Business Unit of Huawei, said, "As

we navigate further through the construction and development of smart cities,

we have to concretely and practically begin a new stage of smart city

development with our experience and vision. Given smart city is a new form of

future city development, we need to focus on the core pain points of the city,

adhere to a people-oriented concept, aim at the sense of acquisition and

experience of urban services, and carry out horizontal connection and process

reengineering. This process includes the overall planning of the business

system, synergy across five major tech domains, the efficient connection of the

data system and the sustainable development of the operating system. Only

through the systematic construction of our happy home, can we build City

Intelligent Twins and create a better city life together."

A Smart and Happy City Based on Technology: Shanghai Wins the City Award

The development of a city depends on the concept, foundation, and pattern of

city construction. Shanghai, a world-class smart city powered by the

innovations of Huawei in the digital era, has been recognized with the

distinguished global City Award.

In Xuhui District, Shanghai, Huawei and the Urban Operation and Management

Center jointly developed the "12345" intelligent sensing system by using AI

technologies to dynamically analyze the interrelationship among hot topics from

three dimensions: time, space, and people. Based on the historical handling of

hot topics, a fundamental model is extracted to build a closed-loop process of

intelligent awareness discovery, data analysis, and man-machine collaborative

handling. In this way, trending hot topics and risks can be predicted in

advance, providing decision-making support for efficient service handling.

During the construction of a smart urban area, Huangpu District of Shanghai

innovatively proposed the overall goal and construction task of "IoT, Data

Connection, and Intelligent Connection". Guided by an innovative world-class

design, it will create the Urban Operation Management Center in Huangpu

District through innovative, comprehensive, all-time-space, full-process, and

closed-loop operation and management models. Currently, the district has run 15

special applications in four sectors: public security, public management,

public service, and economic operation. In the process of implementing refined

management of megacities, the concept of "unified network management" promotes

smart city governance for a smarter Huangpu District.

Technology Makes Life Better: Shenzhen Wins the Enabling Technologies Award

Based on the goal of building a "Double First-Class New Smart City", Shenzhen

builds the "Pengcheng Intelligent Twins" based on technological enablement to

continuously improve the comprehensive competitiveness of the city. By

establishing six systems — public service, public security, city governance,

smart industry, big data service, and perception network — Shenzhen has

preliminarily built a new smart city integrated construction pattern. This

pattern features platforms, applications, and the city's smart brain, which

comprehensively improves the development of fields such as city governance,

public service, and industry development.  

Shenzhen has painted a vivid picture of the future smart landscape in an

"all-in-ONE" manner: ONE map for the city, ONE number for all city services,

ONE click for all-round visibility, ONE structure for integrated operation and

linkage, ONE-stop innovation and entrepreneurship, and ONE screen for smart

living. With a digitally connected government service system, all e-government

services are constantly upgraded and enhanced. In 2020, Shenzhen plans to build

46,000 5G base stations, making it the first city in China to achieve full coverage of

5G infrastructure and independent networking. Shenzhen is on the fast track to

becoming an innovative highland for industry intelligence and technology leadership.

In addition, by establishing e-Government services with reporting and

processing in seconds, Shenzhen has enabled 350 core services in 53 government

offices to move to the cloud, realizing cloud platform management within the

city and districts, enhancing quality of public service. Through the city cloud

platform, data will be transmitted directly, minimizing the need for in-person

procedures, empowering a new wave of contact-free services around various

services in the city. In addition, Shenzhen leverages multiple ways to optimize

business operations hours, shortening the time required for new enterprise

registration and approval to less than a minute. It only takes six seconds for

the filing of enterprise projects, from application to approval.

Nanhai District of Foshan in Guangdong has won Economy Award.

Nanhai District of Foshan was awarded for the Economy Award for stepping from

history to modernity. Nanhai District uses new ICT to build a "Digital Nanhai"

that integrates the centers of data integration, operation monitoring,

decision-making analysis, comprehensive exhibition, and command and

collaboration. As such, the city can be viewed on a single map, with smart

operation on a single screen and unified applications on a single cloud.

Huawei's Customers Recognized as Finalists for Multiple Awards

Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area was among the finalists for the

Inclusive & Sharing Cities Award for its achievement in nurturing a favorable

environment for smart city construction. In 2018, Huawei partnered with the

Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area and announced China's first

"AI+ Smart City" — TEDA New City. After three years of construction, the smart

TEDA New City has had a series of world-class infrastructure and application

systems to provide strong support for social innovation and social services. It

has become a prosperous, livable, and happy modern city and set a new benchmark

for smart city establishment.

Zhengzhou Smart Island was acknowledged as a nominee for the Innovative Idea

Award for its innovative labs. Centering on "future" and "innovation",

Zhengzhou Smart Island has built a future city panorama lab to construct

future-oriented city life scenarios. Currently, drones, 5G, and AI are used to

monitor the environment in an all-round manner, which is an automated and

efficient replacement of manual operations. Based on big data, the Smart Island

implements 360-degree detailed enterprise profile, builds a precise investment

promotion system, and constructs a dynamic database of 54 million enterprises

across China. The Smart Island performs digital modeling for every physical

object to form a 1:1 digital twin, building a new showcase of smart cities and

a new engine for digital economy transformation.

Huangshan City was recognized as a nominee for the Governance & Service Award

for making a digital transformation as a famous tourism city. Based on advanced

concepts and technologies such as cloud computing and big data, Huangshan City

achievement sharing" to accelerate the construction of data resource standards

and improve city infrastructure construction. Based on the city brain of

Huangshan City, the operation and command center of the "digital government"

comes into being. Also, by focusing on innovating the smart big data analysis

applications in culture, tourism, and environmental protection, Huangshan City

facilitates the digital transformation of the culture and tourism industry.
