The present situation and prospect of intelligent city in China cloud computing as the "key" of construction

With the quickening pace of urbanization, China's urbanization ratio has surpassed 50%, which is the most populous country in the world. Although urbanization improves people's living standard, it also brings a series of social problems and environmental problems. In order to keep sustainable development more and more restricted by various factors, cities need to change the way of growth.

At present, the deep-seated problem of urban development is how to establish an effective safety monitoring network to ensure the safety of food and medicine, how to integrate effective public service facilities, to meet the needs of people in medical treatment, education and health, and how to deal with sudden events quickly and effectively. These problems have been difficult to solve effectively using traditional techniques and management methods. At present, the developed countries are studying how to use the new generation of information technology, knowledge and intelligent technology to re-examine the essence of city, the orientation of urban development goal, the cultivation of urban function, the adjustment of urban structure, the image and characteristics of city, etc. In particular, intelligent sensing and urban intelligence decision-making platform to solve problems such as energy saving, environmental protection, water shortage and so on.

IBM chief executive Palmisano the "Smart Earth" for the first time in a "round Table" held by U.S. business leaders on January 28, 2009, and then the concept of "smarter City" was introduced and promoted globally to further enhance the global awareness of intelligent cities, Accelerated the pace of intelligent city construction.

IBM in the "Smart City in China" white paper, is the definition of "smart city": "The full use of information and communication technology to measure, analyze, integrate the core system of urban operation of the key information, so as to include people's livelihood, environmental protection, public safety, urban services, Industrial and commercial activities, such as the needs of the intelligent response to create a better city life for mankind. Comprehensive material union, full integration, incentive innovation and cooperative operation is its four characteristics.

At present, many countries have begun to build wisdom, mainly in the United States, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, France, and Asia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, but most of the country's intelligent urban construction in a limited scale, small-scale exploration stage. China is in the rapid development of urbanization, New town development is the main theme of China's economic development in the next 10-20 years, and intelligent City will play an important role, China's "smart city" is based on this background.

Intelligent city is the synergy between "wisdom" and "Hui"

The smart city is in the context of the accelerated development of the next generation of information technology, make full use of things networking, cloud computing, optical Network, mobile Internet and other technical means, to the public service, social management, industrial operation and other activities of the various needs of intelligent response to build the intelligent environment of urban development, facing the future to build a new city shape. The intelligent city integrates the dispersed and fragmented information system and the Internet of things in the city, and promotes it as an organic whole with better coordination ability and control ability, which is the sublimation and leap of the city informatization in the traditional sense. Smart city is to make things (urban facilities) smarter, more creative people! Intelligent City construction to "wisdom" and "Hui" coordinated development, fully use the technology of things to improve the city's product services "wisdom" to create high-quality ecology, humanities and scientific and technological environment to enhance urban people's "hui."

Intelligent city is the product of the close combination of human intelligence and information and communication technology, and it is the manifestation of the development of informatization to a higher stage. Therefore, its important characteristic mainly manifests in the intelligence city to have the stronger concentrated wisdom to discover the problem, solves the problem the ability. In particular, there are several characteristics of intelligent City:

Thorough perception: measuring, monitoring and analyzing the core system of city operation with sensing devices and intelligent terminals all over the city, so that the people and objects that need to be perceived and perceived are able to perceive each other and can get the data and information needed at any time.

Pan-Interconnection: Through the integration of communications network, the Internet, things networking and other information networks to create a pan-hosted network, can be a variety of information collection and control information for real-time and accurate transmission, to achieve people and people, people and things, things and objects of interconnection and interoperability.

Efficient collaboration: the use of a variety of information resources and public service platform to strengthen the industry, the Department of Resource Integration, information sharing, so that the city's various systems and participants to collaborate effectively, to achieve the best state of urban operation.

Precise control: Through the thorough perception, the ubiquitous interconnection, as well as the massive data carries on the fast, the centralism, the accurate analysis and the processing, then makes the scientific decision-making, realizes to each city main body and the city system accurate, the intelligent management and the control.

Harmonious development: Give full play to intelligent decision-making, management system functions, strengthen the mutual integration and mutual promotion of urban systems, and realize the harmonious development and sustainable development between urban system, inside and outside city system, and human and nature.

Advantages and disadvantages of Intelligent city

In China, in September 2010, Ningbo promulgated the decision of the Ningbo people's government of Ningbo Municipal party Committee of the CPC to build an intelligent city. Ningbo, as the first city to carry out intelligent city construction under the comprehensive promotion of government, has set a leading role in the construction of intelligent city in China.

From 2012 onwards, China has maintained rapid development in the industry information market. Intelligent City, government affairs open, three network integration, administrative examination and approval reform, government affairs cloud, People's livelihood information, fine management become the main driving force, the popularization and popularization of platform projects embody the electronic government from single agency to the integration of cross-sectoral, and then to the society to participate in public governance concept. According to incomplete statistics, the existing more than 30 cities have put forward specific intelligent urban construction goals and action plans, and even some areas of intelligent urban construction included in the "Twelve-Five" planning, such as Ningbo, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Zhuzhou, Foshan and so on.

China's intelligent city construction has been fully launched, the speed of the rapid development has entered the construction phase, other cities have begun planning and design. The construction of Intelligent city is a gradual process, some cities may need 2, 3 years, while some cities may need 10 years or more, but in the process of building intelligent city can be fully advanced, can also focus on breakthroughs. At present, China is through the "two integration", "five Simultaneous", "Three network integration" and other strategic deployment, and actively use the Internet, cloud computing and other latest technology to promote the construction of intelligent city. In the process of building an intelligent city, some cities promote the construction of intelligent city around innovation, it puts forward the "intelligent Shenzhen", "Wisdom Nanjing", "Wisdom Foshan" and so on, and more cities are the strategic needs of the development of their respective cities, choose the corresponding breakthrough points, put forward the "digital Nanchang", "Healthy Chongqing", "Ecological Shenyang" And so on, so as to realize the unification of intelligent city construction and City established development strategy goal.

The development of smart cities in China but also is tide surging, on the one hand many cities to "the Wisdom City" understanding is not deep, just follows the bandwagon, the speculation concept, under the cloak of the wisdom city, is still the traditional city's core; On the other hand, how to realize the difference between the cities is also necessary to think about , it would be a repetition of the tragedy of China's urbanization, and it would be difficult to really take root.

The key to the smart city: cloud computing

As a new internet-based service model and computing model, cloud computing with the characteristics of virtualization, scalability, multi-tenant, supporting heterogeneous basic resources and heterogeneous multitasking system, we can realize the resource on demand, according to the amount of charge, to achieve the target on demand, and ultimately promote the scale of resources, promoting specialization of division of labor, It helps to reduce the cost of unit resources and promote the innovation of network business. At the same time, it provides a powerful supporting means to solve the problems of large-scale distributed data management, service-oriented application integration and rapid resource deployment in Intelligent city construction, and helps the construction and development of intelligent city.

"Intelligent City" all kinds of intelligent application of the bearer and implementation of the cloud computing data and processing needs of the strong support of the integrated platform, which will greatly improve the deployment of resources and application development model, to achieve a unified service delivery, so as to enhance resource utilization, reduce wisdom costs, deepen the city's wisdom. The application of cloud computing to Intelligent City construction is of great significance.

First, cloud computing service model is the promotion of the city's wisdom level of the propellant. The proposal of new type of urbanization will play a powerful role in the construction of new type of information technology facilities, and promote the construction of informatization in all directions. Intelligent city from the National ministry level of the National unified Layout Planning, the Ministry of Housing and Urban and rural Development on January 29, 2013 announced the first batch of 90 intelligent City Pilot list, the National Development Bank and the Ministry of Housing and Urban and rural construction to invest in the wisdom of the city's capital scale of 80 billion yuan. In the face of the evaluation of achievements and the financial support of the bank, the local government will actively report the construction plan, in the next few years the construction of Intelligent city will set off a new upsurge.

The construction mode of Intelligent city will have breakthrough and innovation, source of funds further diversification, bot mode is more and more, large Internet company will intervene the construction of intelligent city. The new competition and cooperation of intelligent City service providers will emerge in 2013. The application of IoT and the third platform technology continues to deepen, and the cloud platform and large data technology will have a good development environment.

Future cloud computing platforms with strong data analysis capabilities will be a decisive factor in the development of smart cities. Cloud computing platform can become the "brain" of Intelligent city, realize the storage and calculation of massive data, save running cost and improve resource utilization.

Second, cloud computing is conducive to the integration of urban information resources. The essence of the intelligent city lies in the integration, which is the deep integration of informatization, industrialization and urbanization. When the combination of traditional industry and information technology can directly lead to the emergence of new industries, indirectly promote the development of traditional pillar industries. In the process of building cloud computing platform, the government function and information technology should be fully integrated to solve a series of social management service problems such as medical, transportation, education, finance, energy supply, social security and public security. Cloud computing has created more space for the continued prosperity of smart cities. With the continuous increase of the government's investment in fine management, the scope of digital urban administration will be enlarged and the concept of fine management be valued by more managers. As an organic component of e-government, Intelligent city and Digital city, digital urban management is an inevitable trend in the whole country.

Third, the Zhihuiyun will support the urban development with various forms. Intelligent city Construction and development is a very large project, involving urban management, transportation, community life, health care, financial business and other fields. The wisdom cloud that supports intelligent city construction shows many forms in these fields, such as municipal cloud, traffic cloud, community cloud, medical health cloud, financial business cloud, etc.

Four, cloud computing will promote the development of modern service industry. It is an important historical mission for China's information industry to develop modern service industry and promote the adjustment of industrial structure. Cloud computing and information services to the socialization, intensification, specialization, so that more people can enjoy the Low-cost information technology and information resources services. It is an important information technology to promote the development of modern service industry in China. All kinds of computing services in modern services can adopt cloud computing solutions. Cloud computing will further advance the development of modern services, and the growing demand of modern services will promote greater application and technological progress in cloud computing services.

Cloud computing is conducive to reducing the overall cost of regional informatization. Cloud computing through resource integration, unified management and efficient resource flow, can effectively reduce the overall cost of regional informatization, thus reducing the threshold of information, so that more units and enterprises are willing to improve efficiency through information technology.

Vi. Cloud Computing provides security for data safety. Cloud computing reduces the risk of data being lost or leaked in individual hands by storing data centrally. At the same time, the cloud computing Center also uses a variety of security methods and disaster recovery methods to ensure that data will not be lost, and will not be illegally tampered with.

A smart city, will vigorously promote economic transformation and sustainable development, urban management will enter a new model, enterprise development will get a better environment, residents will be more convenient and harmonious life.

With the help of cloud computing technology, we can build a better city and make urban planning more people-oriented. Cloud computing will be the foundation of Smart city construction, and smart cities will breed and catalyze the landing and promotion of typical cloud computing applications. Cloud computing technology will be in the industry, transportation, energy, medical, municipal and other economic and social areas to support the wisdom of the development of the city, through technological innovation to improve the city's integrated management efficiency and public service levels, so that urban operations to develop a more intelligent.

Intelligent City, is a new round of information technology reform and the further development of knowledge economy, is the industrialization, urbanization and information integration, and to a higher stage of the performance. Speeding up the construction of intelligent city, will vigorously promote the Internet, Low-carbon, energy-saving, environmental protection and other technology applications, not only to attract a group of knowledge-intensive, information-intensive, innovative and intensive High-tech, high value-added advanced manufacturing and high-end services, but also through the application of emerging technologies, effectively enhance the traditional industry technology content, Accelerate the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure. At the same time, with the increase of the city's wisdom content, it can reduce the energy consumption rate and the pollutant emission rate greatly, and promote the transformation to the low carbonization and sustainable ecological civilization City.
