Abstract
In recent years, the enthusiasm for discussing building smart cities has been boosted greatly worldwide, and the residents of major super cities seem to be eager to understand what a smart city is. Unfortunately, due to the International Business Machines Corporations (IBM) recent introduction of the concept of smart cities, many people have misunderstood the concept of smart cities, and even mistakenly classify urban digitization as the scope of smart cities. The core element of a smart city is to use various Smart City Facilities (geographic information systems, urban security systems, intelligent traffic control systems, environmental monitoring systems, residents feedback systems) to bring the city onto an intelligent, automated, efficient, and livable road. This article aims to compare two significant Chinese port cities, Shenzhen and Shanghai, in their efforts to establish smart cities. It delves into the challenges they encountered during this process, analyzes the benefits accrued, and offers valuable reminding for cities aspiring to embark on their own smart city journey in the future.
