Abstract

In the context of the deep integration of digital technology revolution and new urbanization strategy, the construction of smart cities has become an important path to solve the "urban disease" and achieve modernization of governance. This study adopts literature research and case analysis methods to systematically sort out the connotation, characteristics, and development evolution of smart cities. Through analysis, the current status of smart city construction in China is obtained, and the shortcomings in the current process of smart city construction in China are pointed out. In response to the shortcomings, this study proposes a "five in one" improvement strategy of policy innovation and capital synergy, reconstruction of new infrastructure system, technological breakthroughs and achievement transformation, circulation of data elements, and upgrading of security system. It provides practical reference for the transformation of Chinese path to modernization cities, and also provides experience for the construction of smart cities in developing countries.
