Assessing Hong Kong as a Smart City

Abstract

The growth and development of Hong Kong from an industrial manufacturing centre into an international finance hub has advanced in many aspects of the society. The Government has encouraged and facilitated the advancement of the city’s transportation, telecommunications and technology sectors through effective public policy, incentives and collaboration. This chapter identifies the areas that Hong Kong both excels in and lacks at with regard to the six Smart City elements established in Chap. 7. Hong Kong does well with certain aspects of Smart Mobility, Smart Economy and Smart Infrastructure but has room for improvement with most aspects of Smart Living, Smart Governance and Smart Environment.
