Smart city, is it a gimmick or a gust?

The city is a machine, which was proposed by the city planning in 1933. It divides the city into four functions: residence, work, transportation, and leisure. Forty years later, in the Machu Picchu Charter of 1973, we realized that the city is not only a machine, but an organism. Now it is more than forty years. We propose that the city is the concept of life.

We created the English word: "City Being", the city, just like people, so we have the Expo City Life Museum. The city becomes a living body and we should give him respect. If you do not respect the city, you will get revenge from the city. Perceived, judgeable, quick response, will learn, this is a smart city.

In 2010, IBM formally proposed the vision of “Smart City” and hoped to contribute to the development of the world and China's cities. IBM has researched that cities consist of six core systems of different types of networks, infrastructure, and environments that are relevant to the city's main functions: organization (people), business/government, transportation, communications, water, and energy. These systems are not fragmented, but are connected to each other in a collaborative manner. The city itself is a macro system composed of these systems.

In general, the “smart city” of the 21st century can fully utilize information and communication technology to sense, analyze and integrate key information of the core system of urban operation, thus including people’s livelihood, environmental protection, public safety, urban services, The various needs, including industrial and commercial activities, respond intelligently to create a better urban life for human beings.

In 2013, more than 400 cities around the world competed for the most savvy city titles, and finally selected the seven cities, namely: 1. Columbus, Ohio, USA; 2. Oulu, Finland; 3. Stella, Canada Tefu; 4, Taichung City in Taiwan; 5, Tallinn in Estonia; 6, Taoyuan County in Taiwan; 7, Toronto, Canada.

The “China Smart City Development Level Assessment Report” shows that the development level of smart cities in the following major cities is at the national leading level:

Front runners: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wuhan, Ningbo, Nanjing, Foshan, Yangzhou, Pudong New Area, Ningbo Hangzhou Bay New District

Chaser: Chongqing, Wuxi, Dalian, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Kunming, Chengdu, Jiading, Putian, Jiangmen, Dongguan, Dongying

Is “smart city” important?

Even the Prime Minister personally came forward to promote the "smart city". Are you important?

According to Xinhua News Agency, Brussels, June 29, Premier Li Keqiang attended the 2015 China-Europe Urbanization Partnership Forum and delivered a speech in Brussels on the afternoon of the 29th.

Li Keqiang said that the practice of human development shows that industrialization and urbanization are a pair of "twin brothers" in modernization. Over the past 30 years, with the rapid development of industrialization, China's urbanization has achieved remarkable achievements. The urbanization rate has increased from 17.92% in 1978 to 54.77% in 2014.

Li Keqiang emphasized that China is advancing the largest urbanization process in human history. European urbanization has gone through hundreds of years and accumulated rich experience, which is worth learning from China. The China-Europe Urbanization Partnership has 12 pairs of sub-cities and more than 130 cooperative projects. Standing on a new starting point, both sides must take the momentum and take more practical actions:

The first is to deepen the cooperation of smart cities. The application of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data has made modern cities "wisdom." Both China and the EU should strengthen exchanges and mutual understanding of smart city planning and design, core technology research and development, and standard application and promotion, and promote urban management informationization, infrastructure intelligence, public service convenience, and refined social governance.

The second is to strengthen energy conservation and environmental protection cooperation. China proposes that carbon dioxide emissions will peak at around 2030 and strive to reach peaks as early as possible. Non-fossil energy accounts for about 20% of primary energy consumption, which puts higher demands on urbanization development. Europe has a world-leading level in low-carbon technology applications, near-zero emissions from buildings, and wastewater treatment. China welcomes the European side to actively participate in the construction of low-carbon cities, low-carbon industrial parks, energy-efficient building renovation, sewage treatment and clean energy development in China. China is also willing to work with the European side to jointly develop third-party markets in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection equipment.

The third is to promote cooperation between public services and public services. China's new urbanization is also undergoing rapid development, and the demand for medium-to-high-end consumer goods and equalized public services is improving. The EU countries have a high level of development in education, medical care, leisure and fashion industries, and European companies are welcome to expand their markets. China has certain comparative advantages in the field of infrastructure. It is hoped that Europe will provide more convenience for Chinese enterprises to participate in urban upgrading and transformation.

Li Keqiang said that the city remembers yesterday, carrying today and creating tomorrow, not only a big stage for economic growth and wealth creation, but also a forerunner of social progress and cultural communication. China is willing to work with EU institutions, European countries and related cities to continuously expand exchanges and cooperation in various fields, write a new chapter on the future cooperation between China and Europe, and build a beautiful home of poetic dwelling.

"Smart City", what can LED do?

Recently, Dan Zhiguang, deputy director of the Information Research Department of the National Information Center, revealed in Hangzhou that the country is building an inter-departmental smart city coordination mechanism and supervision and evaluation mechanism to formulate a smart city's ability and effectiveness evaluation system to strengthen the guidance and supervision of smart cities. The effectiveness of the construction of smart cities in various places must be recognized by the state.

It is reported that more than 500 cities in China have carried out pilot projects in smart cities, and have issued corresponding plans. The planned investment exceeds one trillion yuan. At present, three batches of smart city pilots have been released. From the actual results, smart cities have achieved wide-ranging results in the fields of urban transportation, medical care, and government administration.

According to Shan Zhiguang, the National Development and Reform Commission has taken the lead in coordinating 25 ministries and commissions since October last year and established an inter-ministerial coordination working group to promote the healthy development of smart cities. The working group has started regular inter-ministerial meetings and expert meetings, emphasizing rational and pragmatic work. And research on the construction of smart cities and the integration of the “Belt and Road”, the integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and strive to promote the standardization of smart city construction.

500 smart city pilot, will be conducive to stimulating smart lighting, smart home market demand, for the last two years involved in LED intelligent lighting, smart home business is undoubtedly a good news.

LEDs have a lot to do in the “smart city” strategy. For example, the “City Management Big Data Cloud Control System Based on Smart Public Lighting System” project is a strategic research and development project of “City Smart Public Lighting System”. It mainly realizes two major functions: on the one hand, the project will realize multi-platform, intelligent, real-time, urban intelligent public lighting system operation and urban management big data collection, and realize the control, maintenance and energy saving of urban public lighting system through intelligent control. The optimization of the row. On the other hand, it provides real-time data support, early warning and forecasting services for urban public management through expandable and modular smart public lighting terminals, and urban management big data collection and public data access functions combined with terminal networks.

However, how to benefit from smart city projects has become an anxiety for LED companies. At present, there are three main sources of funding for smart cities: first, government investment, mainly infrastructure; second, corporate investment, PPP mode (public-private partnership model) is a typical case; third, financial institution loans. The PPP model is the main means for LED companies to eat the cake of the smart city project.

Prior to the PPP model, the EMC model was once popular in LED companies. However, as the government issued a document to cancel the contract energy management (EMC model) subsidy and vigorously develop the PPP model, many LED companies quickly switched the EMC mode to the PPP mode. However, the PPP model is very stressful for LED companies, and only large companies or listed companies with strong financial strength can afford them. In fact, the PPP model is a variant of the EMC model. The PPP model is its own + government investment, and the project amount is higher: EMC is more than 10 million yuan, and the PPP model can be over 100 million yuan.
