Abstract

At present, the Chinese government is trying to resolve various social contradictions, such as people’s ever-growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. To do so, urban governance practices including holistic governance, decentralized and interconnected governance, multiple participatory governance, and smart governance have been developed in China. Urban smart governance supported by mobile Internet, the Internet of Things, quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and other information technologies has also entered the field of vision of academics and administrators. However, the research and practice on the integration of organizational structure and smart governance technology for urban governance in China are still insufficient. Hence, this paper proposes the design of the organizational structure of an urban smart governance platform and presents the “1 + N” integrated smart information platform and the “power-sharing linkage, one-center and dual-track” platform construction command system. In this system, the functional module of the information platform for smart urban governance is elaborated. This paper contributes to promoting the modernization of China’s urban governance capacity, which can enhance social equity and social order, promote social democracy and rule of law, and enhance the efficiency of urban governance.

  • “smart governance” is a concept that has been widely discussed and spread in recent years. It is generally discussed in the context of governance capacity and systems. erefore, the discussion on urban smart governance must be based on the practical problems of urban governance; otherwise, the academic discussion will lose a practical basis

Summary

Introduction

On April 19, 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping stated “In the process of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity through information technology, we need to coordinate the development of e-government and build an integrated online service platform to perceive social trends, smooth communication channels and assist scientific decision-making” [1]. The informatization of urban governance has boomed in China. In addition to the government’s active promotion, the rapid development of and changes in Chinese cities and the promotion of information technology have accelerated the informatization of urban governance. “1 + n” smart city takes “wisdom, wisdom and efficiency” as the construction concept, relying on the core technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing, to build a “1 + n” smart city platform system, with a set of “smart city cloud” platform to strongly support n smart city plates, including smart life, government affairs, transportation, education, health, hospital, food safety, port, environmental protection, pension, law, and community In addition to the government’s active promotion, the rapid development of and changes in Chinese cities and the promotion of information technology have accelerated the informatization of urban governance. is paper aims to identify the trends of China’s urban governance transformation to design a governance organization structure and to elaborate on the structure’s basic operational logic according to the information platform of urban smart governance. “1 + n” smart city takes “wisdom, wisdom and efficiency” as the construction concept, relying on the core technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing, to build a “1 + n” smart city platform system, with a set of “smart city cloud” platform to strongly support n smart city plates, including smart life, government affairs, transportation, education, health, hospital, food safety, port, environmental protection, pension, law, and community
