The 13th Five-Year Plan proposes to make full use of modern information technology and big data to build a number of new smart cities. A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission said that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, 100 cities will be organized in a targeted manner to vigorously promote the construction of new smart cities. Building a new smart city has become the only way for the sustainable development of the city.

The new smart city is a complex giant system, involving many aspects. In order to promote the smooth construction of a new smart city, it is necessary to build an excellent overall architecture in the top-level design. So how to build the overall framework of a new smart city? Dr. Zheng Zhibin, General Manager of Huawei BG Global Smart City Solutions Department, and Professor Li Lin, President of Shenzhen Smart City Research Association, expressed their views on this.

Dr. Zheng Zhibin from Huawei:

Recently, the overall architecture of Huawei's smart city solution, namely "One Cloud, Two Networks and Three Platforms", was released at the "New ICT, Make the City Smarter–Huawei Smart City Ecosphere Action Plan Conference" held by Huawei.

1, "One Cloud": Urban Cloud Data Center

Based on the open architecture, we will build an integrated, open and secure cloud data center for the city, integrate, share and utilize various urban information resources, and improve the efficiency and rationality of government services and decision-making.

2. "Two networks": urban communication network and urban internet of things.

Provide wired+wireless broadband network for smart city construction, build ubiquitous broadband for the city, and make urban public services within reach; In the field of Internet of Things, it provides a lightweight Internet of Things communication operating system and various types of access gateways. It also provides an Internet of Things platform to provide Internet of Things data services for all industries in the city.

3. "Three platforms": ICT capability open platform, big data service support platform and business application enabling platform.

Through the open platform of ICT capabilities, ICT capabilities are packaged and provided to business application developers, so that they can call ICT interfaces more conveniently and jointly provide customers with overall solutions for smart cities. Work with partners to provide big data service support platform and business application enabling platform, and provide services such as resource acquisition automation, software development automation and operation and maintenance management automation for urban smart applications.

Professor Li Lin, President of Smart City Research Association:

Facing how to build a new smart city, Professor Li Lin put forward the overall framework of "three centers and one platform". It is believed that "three centers and one platform" follows the six core elements of new smart city construction. A grid of heaven and earth constitutes a "virtual complex giant system", which realizes the comprehensive sharing of network resources, computing resources, storage resources, data resources, information resources, platform resources, software resources, knowledge resources and expert resources.

1, "Three Centers"

(1) Network Convergence and Security Center

The "Network Convergence and Security Center" of the new smart city takes the construction of the grid network of the new smart city world as the core element. Realize the interconnection of e-government extranet, public internet (including telecom, mobile, Unicom and other operators' networks), smart city wireless network and smart city Internet of Things (including public security video private network), the interconnection of transmission information and data, and the security of network and information.

(2) Big Data Resource Center

The core element of the construction of "Big Data Resource Center" is to form the "harmony" of big data in new smart cities. Transform scattered, repetitive and inaccessible operational data into centralized, unified and valuable knowledge data. "Big Data Center" provides a consistent data view for data from different sources, and transforms data from different media and organizations into a consistent analysis data environment.

(3) Management, Command and Operation Center

The core element of a new smart city is to establish an efficient management, command and operation center. Better grasp and manage the municipal facilities, public safety, ecological environment, macroeconomics and people's livelihood, build a unified management, command and operation center of a new smart city, realize the convergence and sharing of urban resources and cross-departmental coordination and linkage, and provide support for the efficient and accurate management and safe and reliable operation of the city. Through visualization technology, the smart city network, data and information are integrated to realize the functions of display, monitoring, management, operation and service.

2. "One Platform"

"One platform" means "the first-class platform of public information". The "public information first-level platform" takes the dispatching management and service encapsulation of various information resources in new smart cities as the core elements, and supports the intelligent functions of smart city management and public services. Applying "smart city information grid technology" to build a new comprehensive information service platform for smart cities. The realization of smart city involves the establishment of information interconnection, data sharing and exchange, and business function coordination among government information, urban management information, social and people's livelihood information and enterprise economic information.

The new smart city is the concrete embodiment of people-centered urban development values, the deep integration of new technologies and urban governance concepts, and the transformation from "technology-oriented" to "concept-oriented" and "management-oriented" to "service-oriented" and "business-driven" to "data-driven".
