Research on the Framework of Smart City Operating System Based on New ICTs

Abstract

With the deepening of Chinses national strategies such as Digital China and Artificial Intelligence, urban informatization is evolving from a smart city to a more advanced and super-intelligent system integrating urban governance with new information and communication technologies (ICTs) represented by artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing. How to use the new ICTs to build the "smart city operating system" and other smart platforms to realize urban smartness has become the current research focus. First, this paper analyzes the four stages of the evolution of smart cities and the new ICTs that support urban agents. Second, taking the smart city planning of Wuhan Yangtze New City as an example, this paper introduces vision of Wuhan Yangtze New City, and analyzes the overall structure and smart infrastructure architecture of Wuhan Yangtze new smart city, and deeply studies the framework of the new ICTs-based Yangtze River Smart City operating system, including its compositions, integrated data architecture and application domain architecture. The third, how the new ICTs-based urban operating system can help cities achieve super-intelligence is also discussed. In addition, the paper suggested that Wuhan Yangtze New City should further improve its resilient urban planning for the future.
