I. Overall Objectives Established by the Implementation Opinions

First, by2027, establish relatively complete standards and mechanisms for new urban infrastructure construction, build a province-wide unified and interconnected information platform, enrich smart application scenarios, and form a batch of replicable and scalable practices.

Second, by2030, achieve comprehensive breakthroughs in digital transformation of urban infrastructure, fully cover key new urban infrastructure construction in the main urban areas of all prefecture-level cities, significantly enhance urban resilience in key areas of counties (cities and districts), and make urban operations safer, more orderly, smarter, and more efficient.

II. Key Tasks Defined by the Implementation Opinions

The Implementation Opinions address facility resilience, spatial resilience, and management resilienceacross three dimensions, defining 12 key tasks.

(1) Consolidating the“facility resilience” foundation and safeguarding the city’s lifeline. Adhering to inspection first, improve relevant indicator and standard systems, conduct thorough surveys of buildings and municipal infrastructure, gain a comprehensive understanding of the current status of urban infrastructure and aging buildings, accurately identify problems, and apply targeted remedies. On this basis, accelerate the construction of “two major projects”: first, the urban infrastructure lifeline safety project, installing IoT intelligent sensing devices at urban “blood vessels” and “joints” including underground pipe networks, bridges, tunnels, utility tunnels, and manholes, achieving real-time monitoring, dynamic early warning, precise tracing, and coordinated response; second, the full-lifecycle building safety supervision project, accelerating smart construction site development, strengthening full-element, full-coverage management of personnel, machinery, materials, methods, and environment in construction, utilizing satellite remote sensing, IoT, and other means to perceive the operational status of building structures in real time, and achieving real-time monitoring of key parameters such as building displacement, settlement, tilting, and cracking. In addition, the Implementation Opinions propose promoting the coordinated development of smart construction and building industrialization, cultivating smart construction industrial clusters, and providing strong support for urban infrastructure resilience construction.

(2) Optimizing the“spatial resilience” layout and building livable smart communities. Adhering to a people-centered approach, focusing on residents’ needs for travel and daily living, and building and optimizing four types of application scenarios. First, optimize the road travel scenario by promoting coordinated development of smart city infrastructure and intelligent connected vehicles, accelerating the construction and renovation of smart parking facilities and green delivery systems, and driving breakthroughs for autonomous driving across all scenarios and multiple fields. Second, optimize the municipal public space scenario by building a 3D-visualized underground pipe network “One Map,” coordinating urban flood control systems and waterlogging management, strengthening intelligent monitoring of gas leaks, and enhancing smart O&M levels for municipal facilities. Third, optimize the smart residential community scenario by focusing on “the elderly and the young,” advancing embedded service facility construction, carrying out smart convenience facility initiatives in communities, vigorously developing smart property management, inspecting and remediating safety hazards, and establishing a digitally empowered, multi-stakeholder residential community safety governance system. Fourth, optimize the digital home scenario by integrating with “Good Housing” construction, promoting smart product installation in newly built fully furnished residences, encouraging existing residences to undergo electrification, digitization, and networking upgrades, improving the convenience and intelligence of home life, and making residents feel more secure, comfortable, and at ease.

(3) Enhancing theeffectiveness of “management resilience” and building a smart urban command center. Adhering to digital empowerment, focusing on the modernization of urban governance systems and capabilities, and deeply advancing the construction of “two major platforms.” First, build the City Information Modeling (CIM) platform, accelerate “Digital Housing and Construction” development, integrate multi-source information including geographic data, building models, and infrastructure data, and form a “digital sandbox” covering the 3D spatial extent of urban and rural areas. Second, improve the urban operation management service platform, strengthen grid-based management and cross-departmental information sharing, advance three-level integration across province, city, and county, and achieve “One Network for Unified Management” with coordinated response in urban operations. In addition, the Implementation Opinions specify work measures for “integrating and sharing information systems, and strengthening cybersecurity and data security,” ensuring that various systems and platforms are built in an integrated and consolidated manner with safe and stable operations, and comprehensively improving the security risk defense capabilities of new urban infrastructure.

III. Key Features of the Implementation Opinions

First, emphasis on a people-centered approach with systematic advancement. Thoroughly practicing the concept of people’s cities,integrating “people-centered” principles throughout the entire process of urban planning, construction, and governance, increasing “investment in people,” and driving the deep transformation of cities from “development of things” to “development of people.” At the same time, treating the city as an organic living entity, establishing full-lifecycle management awareness, and exploring multi-level layouts and full-chain improvement plans from municipal infrastructure to smart construction, and from smart residential communities to household terminals. Through “strengthening the skeleton, building the body, and toughening the cells,” effectively support the “Four Goods” construction of good housing, good residential compounds, good communities, and good urban districts, substantially improve safety and resilience levels, and enhance the city’s “immunity” and “recovery capacity” in responding to various risks.

Second, emphasis on technological innovation and smart empowerment. Upholding the prominent position of technological innovation, promoting the deep integration of next-generation information technology with urban infrastructure construction, by the end of this year, urban lifeline projects in all cities shall basically cover key business areas, gradually enhancing urban risk perception, hazard remediation, and emergency response capabilities, achieving a transition from“passive response” to “proactive prevention and control.” While building the city’s “central brain,” plan and promote smart retrofitting of residential communities, especially aging communities, as the “peripheral nerves,” optimize smart services and emergency systems, and enhance the precision, adaptability, and inclusiveness of urban governance.

Third, emphasis on information integration and collaborative efficiency. Based on facility interconnection, breaking through multiple boundaries of urban governance, strengthening cross-regional, cross-departmental, and cross-level sharing and utilization of multiple types of data resources including intelligent connected vehicles, urban buildings, and municipal infrastructure, effectively eliminating digital divides and information barriers, striving to achieve comprehensive situational awareness, intelligent trend analysis, coordinated and efficient response, agile dispatching, and rapid switching between peacetime and emergency modes, building an urban governance panorama with full information coverage and full element connectivity—the“One Map.”

Fourth, emphasis on strengthening leadership and scientific coordination. Upholding the integration of Party leadership throughout all aspects and the entire process of promoting new urban infrastructure construction and building resilient cities. Strengthening provincial-level coordination, exploring innovative operational mechanisms and business models, and promoting the establishment of a diversified investment and financing system. Supporting enterprises and research institutions in carrying out core technology breakthroughs, cultivating composite talents in fields such as information technology, engineering construction, urban management, and urban safety, and providing human and intellectual support for promoting new urban infrastructure construction and building resilient cities.
