Social Impact of Smart Cities

"Smart City" is an important aspect of IBM's "Smart Earth" strategy. "Smart Earth" proposes to change the interaction between people in a smarter way, improve the real-time information processing ability and induction response speed, enhance business flexibility and continuity, and promote the comprehensive and harmonious development of various social undertakings. The action of "Smart City" is becoming a realistic measure for "Smart Earth" to move from concept to practice and land in China. In the process of accelerating the development of China's economy and urbanization, the "smart city" aims to create information samples that conform to China's characteristics and explore the future development direction of China. Kunshan-Kunshan Zhongchuang Software -IBM cooperation project also reflects the cooperation between IBM and software developers and other social forces. The innovative ideas, advanced technical means and system solutions of IBM's "Smart City" are highly compatible with the overall planning of urban informatization of Kunshan Municipal Government, which makes this tripartite cooperation possible.

Niu Wen Yuan said that the World Bank estimates that the completion of smart cities with a population of more than one million and the implementation of all-round information management will increase the development dividend of cities by 2.5 to 3 times under the condition of constant investment, which means that smart cities can promote the realization of sustainable development goals by about 4 times and lead the future development direction of world cities.
