Preface

With the development of information technology, the level of science and technology in our country has made rapid progress, and people’s life style has also changed a lot.Computer technology, network technology, communication technology, sensor technology, artificial intelligence technology, VR technology and many other kinds of science and  technology in the information age have been integrated into people’s daily life. The Internet has become the most important way of information dissemination in today’s society. In order to meet the needs of people’s daily life and work, and facilitate the management and development of the city, China put forward the development requirements of smart city construction in 2011. The construction of smart city is directly related to the level of economic and technological development. Generally speaking, the higher the content of science and technology is, and the more developed the economy is, the earlier countries conceive smart city. Therefore, compared with the world, the construction of smart city in China is still in a relatively short time.
    The purpose of the city is to provide sustainable prosperity for its citizens. The city stands at the top of the new century, new rights, new responsibilities, new economy, newpolitics and new technology. In the sustainable development of cities, human beings are facing major challenges and threats. The city must use new technology to transform the core system into an intelligent system and make the most of the limited resources.
    Many cities around the world have begun to seize this opportunity. To grasp the pulse of the development of the times and realize the goal of sustainable and prosperous development of the city, we must combine the new technological revolution with the trend of urbanization development, and urgently need to find a comprehensive solution that follows the objective law of urban development. In this case, smart city becomes our inevitable choice and the only way for the future development of the city.

前 言

在信息化发展的今天，我国的科学技术水平有了飞速的进步，人民的生活方式也产生了很大的改变，计算机技术、网络技术、通信技术、传感技术、人工智能技术、 VR 技术等众多信息化时代下的科学技术已经融入人民的日常生活当中，互联网也成为当今社会中最重要的信息传播方式， 为了满足人民日常生活和工作的需求，便于城市的管理和发展， 我国在 2011 年提出了智慧城市建设的发展要求。 智慧城市的建设与经济、科技发展程度有直接联系，通常来讲，科技含量越高、经济越发达的国家对智慧城市构思越早。因此，和世界范围相比较，我国智慧城市的构建仍处于一种兴起时间比较短的事物。

城市的目的是为市民提供可持续繁荣。城市站在新世纪、新权利、新责任、新经济、新政治和新技术的顶尖。在城市的可持续发展上，正面临重大的挑战和威胁。城市必须使用新技术将核心系统转型到智能化系统，最大限度地利用有限的资源。
       世界各地许多城市已经开始抓住这个机会。把握时代发展的脉搏，实现城市的可持续繁荣发展目标，就必须让新技术革命和城市化发展趋势相结合，就迫切需要找出一条遵循城市发展客观规律的综合解决之道。在此情形下，智慧城市成为我们的必然选择，也是城市未来发展的必由之路。
