為了闡釋杭州是如何發展成為地球上最聰明的城市，泰晤士報在探尋後發現了杭州的治理「法寶」——「城市大腦」。
杭州雲棲大會現場
文章稱，從2016年杭州為治理交通擁堵，率先在國內提出建設城市大腦，到讓向智慧治城加速進化，讓提供更加精準的公共服務成為現實，再到2020年3月「城市大腦」推出企業服務平臺——「親清在線」，短短4年時間裡，「城市大腦」不斷迭代升級。在杭州，「數字」不僅僅是一種經濟形態，也是一種生活方式，深入每個角落、影響每個家庭、惠及每個市民。
而杭州不斷進步的數字生態圈也助力了當地企業的發展，線上直播、跨境直播、快捷的線下配送、自動駕駛計程車……
線上直播連通全球市場和買家
「這些創新與突破正在讓城市的生活變得更容易、更清潔、更安全，杭州無疑是全球創新的先鋒軍，數字經濟的領軍者。」泰晤士報在文章中如是評價。

泰晤士報稱讚：杭州利用大數據的力量保護杭州的歷史文化遺產
文章稱，杭州自秦設縣治以來擁有許多重要的文化和歷史遺蹟，僅2019年就吸引了2.08億來自國內的遊客，創造了590億美元的旅遊收入。同時杭州正通過技術來使當地的文化遺產變得鮮活。為保護其完整性，正利用大數據的力量改善遊客體驗。
幾個世紀以來，美麗的西湖為作家和藝術家們帶來了無盡的靈感
在神聖的良渚古城遺址，科技被用來為每年不少於150萬的遊客創造更身臨其境的體驗。這個114平方公裡的公園已經覆蓋了5G網絡，允許遊客獲得虛擬導遊服務和背景信息，並在社交媒體上分享他們的經歷。
泰晤士報筆下的杭州不僅是世界最聰明的城市，這裡也是千百年來無數作家和藝術家們的靈感之地。
這個將文化、歷史、城市數字基因有機相融的城市，是中國最值得去的城市之一。

Hangzhou tech hub
GET SMART
Hangzhou in China is using big data, cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence to become the world’s smartest city, reveals Lisa Moore
Hangzhou has long taken a progressive approach to trade and commerce, which can be traced back to when the city was the capital of the ancient Wuyue kingdom.
Fast-forward over 1,000 years and you』ll find the fruits of that history. Hangzhou is one of China’s most prosperous cities: an enterprise and innovation hub, home to many of Asia’s tech giants and dozens of unicorns, and the driving force behind huge ecommerce markets.
The city’s impressive tech heritage has made it a centre for entrepreneurship. Its most famous go-getter is Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, which in 21 years has grown to become the world’s biggest online commerce company. It offers ecommerce, logistics, cloud and digital media services, as well as online health and entertainment subscription software. It’s no understatement to say that Hangzhou has reshaped Chinese life.
A centre of digital firsts, Hangzhou has been dubbed 「China’s smartest city」. This billing dates back to 2016, when, in an attempt to tackle chronic traffic problems, Hangzhou launched 「City Brain」, an online platform using big data, cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence to carry out real-time analysis and management of the whole city.
Within a year City Brain had taken control of 128 traffic lights in Hangzhou, reducing the traffic waiting time by 15 per cent, and cutting ambulance delays by 50 per cent. Chronic hospital parking problems were solved, as City Brain calculated the best routes, cutting the time it took to find a parking space from 90 minutes to 15.
Hangzhou has added a corporate service platform, Qinqing Online, to City Brain: it’s a one-stop shop for businesses and the services they need. Digital governance through data collaboration, as well as reduction of approval materials and other methods, means business approval times are being cut by up to 80 per cent.
City Brain benefits the daily life of residents. Hangzhou was the first city to introduce QR code-based scan-to-ride public transport tickets, as well as contactless parking. The city’s public transport, urban management and health systems are smart too, using blockchain technology to process a staggering 120 million pieces of data a day. And the contactless Hangzhou Resident Card is a convenient mobile app allowing locals to manage everything from booking a rental bicycle, library online lending and looking for empty parking spaces to reserving scenic spots and settling their annual tax bill.
Hangzhou’s progressive digital ecosphere has acted as a catalyst for local companies, which have developed applications such as facial recognition technology, intelligent robots and wearable security. In fact, the city’s businesses and their technologies are the vanguard of global innovation, from the autonomous driving startup to the gaming firm generating tens of billions of dollars a year from PC and online games, music streaming and online education products.
Digital winners
The innovations that are making life in China easier, cleaner and safer.
Since the pandemic, marketing via live-streaming has been connecting Chinese buyers with overseas markets and allowing sellers to effectively showcase products.
Hangzhou’s City Brain, which assesses traffic and times signals to ease congestion, has helped to reduce emergency vehicle response times by 50 per cent.
In the early days of the coronavirus outbreak in China, live streams and delivery services allowed residents to source fresh produce from nearby farmers』 markets.
Local automotive partnerships are working to put self-driving robo-taxis on the streets of Hangzhou within the next two years.
Future-proofing the past
Harnessing the power of big data to safeguard Hangzhou’s heritage.
More than 2,000 years of history have given Hangzhou scores of culturally and historically important sites, which attracted 208 million tourists from across China in 2019, generating over $59 billion. Among its most notable attractions are: West Lake, whose atmospheric beauty has inspired writers and artists for centuries, and which attracts thousands of walkers and cyclists; the archaeological ruins of sacred Liangzhu City, a Unesco World Heritage site encapsulating 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation; the Chan Buddhist Lingyin Temple, which was built in the Wulin Mountains in 328AD and features many grottos and elaborate rock carvings; and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, another Unesco site and the oldest and longest manmade waterway in the world.
Technology is being used to bring the region’s heritage to life while preserving its integrity. Working with China’s leading mobile phone operators and mobile payment platforms, the city of Hangzhou has harnessed the power of big data to improve the tourist experience. Want to visit popular sites such as the Su Causeway or the Qianjiang New Light Show, but worried they might be busy? Follow Hangzhou Digital Tourism, the bureau’s official WeChat mini-program, for real-time information on visitor numbers and the least crowded times to visit. The app will also allow you to make reservations to visit Hangzhou’s parks (booking is a new requirement under Covid-19 prevention and control measures)
At the sacred site of Liangzhu, technology is creating a more immersive experience for the 1.5 million people who visit each year. The 114 sq km park has been blanketed with 5G coverage, allowing visitors to access virtual guides and background information, and share their experiences on social media.
