"Smart City" Helps COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control

The pandemic is currently at a critical situation. It should be seen that the new coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic will indeed have a short-term impact on economic and social development, but objectively it will also promote the development of new formats and models such as online education and online office. Not long ago, Shanghai took the lead in publishing "Several Opinions on Further Accelerating the Construction of Smart Cities", which is the embodiment of grasping the crisis.

Fighting against Coronavirus is currently at a critical stage.Using information technology such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., can promote the innovation of smart cities.

Using information technology such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., can promote the innovation of urban governance systems, model innovation, and innovation of means, and improve the scientific, refined, and intelligent management of cities. This is fully reflected in the epidemic prevention and control. For example, the subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation undertook the task of software deployment and field equipment construction of the Zhejiang New Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic inspection site. It monitored more than 3,000 vehicles and 9,000 person-times on average every day. Support the role of epidemic prevention and control. For another example, the “Hangzhou Office Service” APP was launched on the “Epilepsy Prevention and Control” section as soon as possible to make the epidemic situation open and transparent. For another example, Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu, uses the "brain" of a smart city to provide an online platform for communication between the people and government departments, so that people can enjoy government services without leaving home, reducing population aggregation and cross-infection. risk.

Smart cities can realize the centralized aggregation of public data through the city's "brain", and establish and improve a cross-sectoral data sharing and circulation mechanism. From the current point of view, through the systematic construction of smart cities, people can be effectively reduced to avoid errors and delays caused by manual transmission of data. Early warning and effective prevention and control of epidemics can also be studied in the long run. In the long term, urban governance can be promoted comprehensively. Upgrade and promote the development of the digital economy. In this regard, help to prevent and control the epidemic through smart city construction;
The construction of smart cities embodies the methodology of system engineering. Overall planning and improvement of the city's "brain" structure, guided by the construction of large networks, large systems and platforms, promote the integration and integration of the dedicated networks and information systems of various departments, districts and counties; accelerate the "one network management" of urban operations, closely follow the "one screen view of the world, The goal of “one network to manage the whole city” strengthens the interconnection and interoperability of various urban operating systems. It can be said that systemic thinking and holistic thinking run through all the time, and the use of next-generation technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to integrate various resources will help promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
