Connecting Hong Kong: Perspectives on our future as a smart city 2About this Survey Around the world, cities are moving to a new stage of smart city thinking. Initial
8、ly, excited by the new wave of digital tools made possible by linking the internet to sensors via broadband and mobile communications, the main focus has been on deploying technology that could make a city smart. Now, this is switching to an emphasis on how that technology can be harnessed to realis
9、e greater goals that of a sustainable city, with enduring economic advantages, and above all an enhanced quality of life for all its citizens. This new approach comes at a time when the rate of urbanisation around the world is accelerating in China, the share of its population living in cities is ta
10、rgeted to increase from its current level of 58 percent to around two-thirds or more than 900 million people by 2030. 1Hong Kong, one of Chinas most developed cities, can both benefit from and contribute to this phenomenal project. But first, it must figure out its own ways to harness the opportunit
11、ies to reshape city living created by the rise of smart technology. This paper, jointly published by KPMG China, CLP Holdings, JOS, Siemens and the Smart City Consortium, aims at understanding how Hong Kong is rising to this challenge. At its core is a survey, conducted by KPMG in association with Y
12、ouGov, of more than 500 business executives and 1,000 citizens in Hong Kong. The survey explored two areas. First it asked the respondents about their overall perceptions of Hong Kongs smart city strengths and weaknesses. Then it looked in more detail at six key sectors for Hong Kongs smart city dev

Connecting Hong Kong: Perspectives on our future as a smart city 3Executive summary A smart city is a connected city one where its transportatio
16、n system provides seamless mobility, its technology channels information and links businesses with customers, and where the government, businesses and citizens communicate and collaborate with each other to drive economic growth and improve the overall quality of life for its people. Cross-border co
17、nnectivity is also an important attribute of a smart city. For Hong Kong, its links to mainland China and Southeast Asia are highlighted as key strengths. There is strong support from the business community and our citizens more broadly for Hong Kong to focus on supporting the Greater Bay Area and t
18、he Belt and Road initiatives, as well as connectivity with the ASEAN region, to capitalise on emerging business opportunities and drive Hong Kongs economic prosperity (see page 52). Hong Kong is viewed as performing well against other developed cities in a number of key areas, including the standard
19、 of its transport network, its healthcare system and its role as an international financial services centre. However, it has work to do in others, with the citys technology and innovation culture the most pressing area for further development. For both citizens and business executives, digitalised,
20、well-connected public services and advanced technology are among the top three key qualities of a smart city. Notably, nearly two-thirds of executives view the former as a key feature, indicating a business link to creating a liveable, well-connected city that can attract and retain talent to ultima
21、tely drive economic growth (see page 10). There is a need to continue to nurture a culture that encourages entrepreneurship and a new way of thinking, and to create the conditions where government, established companies and startups are willing to take sensible risks with new ideas. Achieving this r
22、equires a greater focus on Hong Kongs education system to cultivate the mindset and harness the talent needed to thrive in the fast- evolving market environment. Getting education right will be crucial for Hong Kongs long-term development, especially in equipping future generations with the creative
23、 thinking and technical skills needed to foster a culture of innovation. To address these issues, smart cities around the world have a government that sets out a clear vision, and plays a driving role in realising its ambitions. As regulator, the largest owner of resources and the key provider of se
24、rvices to the community, it is important that governments adopt a more proactive role as the engine that harnesses their resources and the strengths and talents of their citizens to drive growth, improve the quality of life for their citizens, and enhance long-term sustainability. Consistent with th
25、is requirement, Hong Kongs Smart City Blueprint, released in December 2017 , lays out a number of projects and strategic initiatives to drive Hong Kongs smart city development many of which are in line with the views and expectations put forward by the surveyed business executives and citizens in th
