Print Edition
SHANGHAI’S smart city development index rose about 10 percent in 2016, thanks to wide coverage of high-speed broadband and 4G networks, various intelligent applications and improved IT infrastructure, said the city’s top industry regulator.
Shanghai’s smart city index reached 97.7 in 2016, the best performance by a Chinese city. The index comprises the development level of network coverage, applications and infrastructure development.
Latest technologies have been used in various industries and are tightly connecting to people’s daily lives.
Two examples are the remote controlled water quality inspection of Suzhou Creek and more advanced and precise figures for air quality of the Yangtze River Delta.
“After several years’ construction and development, Shanghai becomes a real smart city for better daily life and innovation-driven economy transformation,” said Shao Zhiqing, vice director of the Shanghai Commission of Economy and Information Technology.
By the end of 2015, fiber optic broadband covered 9.1 million families with an average download speed of 11.3 megabits per second, ranking Shanghai No. 1 among Chinese cities.
The city has 500 smart parking lots with automatic management and 400 hospitals allowing citizens to make appointments for doctors by phone.
Xuhui, Changning and Huangpu districts are the top three regions of advanced smart city development levels in the city, the commission said.
Meanwhile, Shanghai has invested several hundred of million yuan annually to support industrial Internet applications, which helps traditional companies to be able to undergo business transformation and related reforms covering the steel, manufacturing and retail industries.
