The Opinions of the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council on Promoting the Construction of New Urban Infrastructure and Building Resilient Cities were released to the public on the 5th. What is the significance and background of promoting the construction of new urban infrastructure and building resilient cities? What are the main objectives? What are the key tasks included? The opinion requires promoting the deep integration of new generation information technology and urban infrastructure construction, with information platform construction as the driving force, intelligent facility construction as the foundation, and smart application scenarios as the basis, to promote the digital transformation of urban infrastructure, build an intelligent and efficient new urban infrastructure system, continuously improve the resilience of urban facilities, management resilience, and spatial resilience, and promote the safe development of cities. Luo Xiang, Vice Chairman of the Engineering Planning Professional Committee of the China Urban Planning Society, said that in order to build resilient cities, on the one hand, we need to solve problems such as rational allocation of urban resources and basic engineering construction, and on the other hand, we need to enhance the ability to quickly respond, react and recover to various crises. The opinions put forward eleven key tasks, including implementing intelligent municipal infrastructure construction and renovation, promoting the coordinated development of smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles, developing smart residential areas, improving the level of intelligent building management, carrying out digital home construction, and promoting the coordinated development of intelligent construction and building industrialization. Using cutting-edge technology to promote innovation in urban management methods, management models, and management concepts, from digitization to intelligence and then to intelligence, to make cities smarter and more intelligent, is the only way to promote the modernization of urban governance systems and governance capabilities Luo Xiang said. Taking the construction of urban underground comprehensive pipe galleries as an example, while accelerating the construction of urban underground comprehensive pipe galleries, various regions have also simultaneously utilized technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data to build relevant safety operation monitoring platforms, achieving integrated online monitoring and management of the underground comprehensive pipe gallery body and entrance pipelines, effectively enhancing the city's ability to prevent and control safety risks. According to the opinions, by 2027, significant progress will be made in the construction of new urban infrastructure, which will continuously enhance its supporting role in the construction of resilient cities and form a batch of replicable and promotable experience and practices. By 2030, significant achievements will be made in the construction of new urban infrastructure, promoting the construction of a number of high-level resilient cities, continuously improving urban safety resilience, and making urban operations safer, more orderly, smarter, and more efficient. Luo Xiang said that promoting the construction of new urban infrastructure is an essential part of advancing the people-oriented new urbanization. It is of great significance for filling the gaps in urban development, effectively expanding domestic demand, creating livable, smart, and resilient cities, better supporting urban industrial upgrading, integration, and innovation, and meeting people's needs for a better life. New infrastructure focuses on the key direction of the new round of technological revolution and is an important carrier for achieving scientific and technological breakthroughs, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and supporting innovation and entrepreneurship. Luo Xiang said that promoting the construction of new urban infrastructure, strengthening technological leadership and talent cultivation, is conducive to promoting and driving economic transformation and upgrading, giving birth to new technologies, products, models and formats, optimizing supply quality, improving supply to drive new demand, cultivating new driving forces for economic growth, and promoting high-quality economic development.
