Abstract
As an emerging pattern in city planning around the globe, the smart city is gradually changing people's traditional way of life. Building smart cities can boost domestic demand, drive the growth of innovative industries, and promote regional economic development. It helps to enhance the core competitiveness of cities and allows them to gain a competitive advantage in the fierce regional competition. China has led the way in the construction of smart cities in recent decades. This paper provides a concise overview of the evolution of Chinese smart city policy and relevant strategies, and it analyses some of the challenges encountered along the way. The main problems can be divided into three: lack of specific plans, concerns about environmental protection, and low degree of citizen participation and information privacy. This paper puts forward relevant recommendations based on these problems as follows: scientific planning and rational layout increased investment, implementation of the concept of sustainable development, and introduction of public participation and protection of information privacy. These recommendations can aid in the growth of smart cities in China and serve as a point of reference for the relevant government agencies and smart city-related businesses in China and abroad, boosting the sustainable and healthful growth of the smart city.
