智慧城市是继数字城市和智能城市后的城市信息化高级形态,是信息化、工业化与城镇化的深度融合,是城市转型与经济发展的转换器。发展智慧城市有助于促进城市经济、社会与环境协调可持续发展,缓解"大城市病",提高城镇化质量。从城市信息化发展阶段看,我国许多信息化先行城市已经初步具备建设智慧城市的信息基础、产业基础和技术基础,同时,不断完善的政策支持体系也为智慧城市建设营造了良好的政策环境。由于尚处于起步阶段,我国智慧城市建设还存在缺乏统一规划、技术标准和法律规范不健全、资金瓶颈等诸多问题。为此,要深入推进智慧城市建设必须正确处理好市场"无形之手"和政府"有形之手"的关系,实现技术创新和金融创新两轮驱动,在基础设施建设中保障信息集成共享和互联互通,重视技术规范和法律规范,在典型示范积累经验基础上全面整体推进。
This paper aims to present that, as the converter of urban transformation and economic development and the advanced stage of modernized city development following the digital city and intelligent city, smart city is the deep integration of informatization, industrialization and urbanization. In addition, the development of smart city contributes to promoting the coordinated and sustainable development between urban economy, society" and environment, overcoming the challenges by the "big city disease", and improving the quality of urbanization. From the stage of development of city informatization, it is easy to find that many first-class cities in China have initially been equipped with relatively complete information infrastructure, industrial system and intelligent technology. Meanwhile, policy support system for smart city is gradually improving to create a favorable policy environment. However, the development of smart city in China is still in its infancy and may encounter many problems such as lack of unified planning, inconsistent technical standards, incomplete legal norms, financial bottlenecks and so on. Therefore, to further promote the development of smart city, China should deal with the relationship between the invisible hand of the market and the visible hand of the government, stimulate technology innovation and financial innovation, build a network of information sharing and interoperability based on the development of information infrastructure, and take seriously the problem of norms of technology and legislation. Finally, the overall advancement of smart city should be based on experience of the typical demonstrations that will be steadily accumulated.
