The Research Lineage,Genealogy and Trend of Smart Cities in China
Smart city is an effective way to solve urban problems and promote China's new urbanization.Using the 819 journal articles collected by NU Core and CSSCI from 2008 to 2022 as data samples,CiteSpace software is used to conduct a visual analysis of the research lineage,genealogy and trend of smart cities in China.The results show that China's smart city research lineage can be divided into three phases:initial exploration,rapid growth and steady development,and there is no obvious cross-regional cooperation platform between smart city researchers and research institutions;The research spectrum mainly includes three major themes:smart technology and information security,smart services and smart life,and smart city and smart governance;The research trend shows a gradual shift from a single technological level to a people-oriented,green development,smart governance,digital economy and other directions;Finally,the future research is prospected from the aspects of the research direction,theory,methodology,and practical application,so as to enrich and improve the research and construction system of smart city.
