Progress and Prospects of New Smart City Construction:AI-based Big Data,Big Models and Big Computing Power
The new smart city is an inevitable requirement for the development of urban digitalization to intelligence and further to wisdom,and is an important part of achieving high-quality development.This paper first introduces the background and basic concept of smart city,and analyzes the relationship and difference between the three stages of digital city,smart city and new smart city.Digital cities use computer networks,spatial information and virtual reality to digitize urban information,and focus on building information infrastructure.Smart cities,on the other hand,use spatio-temporal big data,cloud computing,and the Internet of Things to integrate systems across urban life,emphasizing intelligent management through a unified digital platform.New smart cities combine technologies such as digital twins,blockchain,and the meta-universe for citywide integration,and employ AI-based intelligent lifeforms for decision-making,blending real and virtual elements for advanced city management.This paper then explores the construction of new smart cities,focusing on high-quality urban development driven by technology and societal needs.It highlights the transition from digital to smart cities,emphasizing the role of information infrastructure and intelligent technology in this evolution.The paper discusses key technologies such as 3D urban modeling,digital twins,and the metaverse,and details their impact on urban planning and governance.It also examines how smart cities contribute to economic growth,meet national needs,and ensure public health and safety.The integration of technologies such as AI,IoT,and blockchain is shown to be critical to creating connected,efficient,and sustainable urban environments.The paper concludes by assessing the role of smart cities in measuring economic development,demonstrating their potential as a benchmark for national progress.Finally,based on the latest advances in AI technology,this paper analyzes and systematically looks forward to the key role AI can play in building new smart cities.AI's ability to analyze massive amounts of data,improve decision-making,and integrate various urban systems all provide important support for realizing the vision of a truly smart city ecosystem.With the synergy of"AI + IoT","AI + Big Data","AI + Big Models",and"AI + High Computing Power",the new smart cities are expected to achieve an unparalleled level of urban intelligence and ultimately a high quality of sustainable,efficient,and people-centered urban development.
