随着新一代智慧化技术的发展和城市低碳可持续理念的深入,"智慧低碳城市"迅速成为城市健康可持续发展研究的热点和前沿。目前,有关智慧低碳城市的各项研究已经展开,并取得了一定的进展。但对智慧低碳城市发展的动力因素与机制的研究仍然不多。立足于当前智慧低碳城市发展的现状,对智慧低碳城市发展的动力机制进行理论定性分析和探究,认为:(1)科学技术与低碳经济的交互创新是智慧低碳城市发展的核心内驱力,生态环境变化和资源消耗压力是智慧低碳城市发展的内在根本动力,经济金融发展和产业结构成长是智慧低碳城市发展的内驱基础。(2)城市功能优化升级和发展转型是智慧低碳城市发展的外因前提,优质人力资本和充足资金供给是智慧低碳城市发展的关键外驱力,社会文化环境和体制创新改革是智慧低碳城市发展的重要外部动力支撑。(3)智慧低碳城市发展的动力因素共同作用于智慧低碳城市系统,构成了智慧低碳城市发展的连续综合动力机制的系统性链条,决定着智慧低碳城市的发展状态、速度、水平和演化方向。
With the development of new generation technology and the further in-depth of urban sustainability with low-carbon concept, the smart low-carbon city, which combines green eco-urban development and low-carbon efficiency with smart convenience, is becoming one of the hotspots and research frontiers in the field of healthy urban sustainable development. At present, studies on smart low-carbon city have already started, leading to some progress. However, the most critical and fundamental issues as the driving factors and dynamic mechanisms are rarely involved in existing studies. Therefore, based on the current development features of such cities, this paper took a theoretical and qualitative analysis of the dynamic mechanisms of smart low-carbon city to get a profound understanding of the development process and characteristics of smart low-carbon city and choose optimal ways for urban construction. Results show as follows:(1) the interaction of science and technology innovation and low-carbon economy is the internal core driving force;the environmental change and resource depletion pressure are the inherent fundamental driving forces;the economic and financial development and industrial structure growth are the internal foundations.(2) The optimization and upgrading of urban functions and development transformation are the external preconditions;the high quality human capital and adequate financing capital are the key external driving forces;the social cultural environment and institutional reform and innovation are the important external supports.(3) With the coaction of all the internal and external elements, the dynamic mechanism of smart low-carbon city grows up into a continuous and comprehensive systematic chain, which determines the development state, speed, level and evolution direction of smart low-carbon city. Overall, the precise research on the development of smart low-carbon city is still in its early infancy, particularly the research on the factors affecting the development, the intera
