Learn how technology improves the quality of urban life in 10 minutes

Driven by the wave of science and technology, the global urbanization process is accelerating, and more than half of the population already lives in urban areas. In this context, local governments, public service agencies and the private enterprises that support them need to keep up with the pace of technological development more than ever before in order to stay ahead (data source: this article integrates relevant industry research and statistics).

According to statistics, more than 4.4 billion people (about 56% of the world's total population) choose to live in cities. Research institutions predict that by 2050, the urban population will double. As the core engine of global economic development, cities create 80% of the world's GDP and play a vital role in the global modernization process and productivity development.

And technology is an important way to improve the quality of urban life.

Innovative application of smart grids and environmentally friendly power systems
Urban power faces many thorny problems. With a large number of urban residents and enterprises connected to the power grid, problems such as grid congestion and unstable power supply occur from time to time. Power companies need to monitor the performance and adaptability of the power grid in real time. However, the traditional manual inspection method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient in diagnosing congestion problems. How to improve equipment operating efficiency and shorten fault repair time, while at the same time needing to quickly and accurately obtain various data for recording, is related to all aspects of urban life. Investing in smart reinforcement equipment can accurately locate faulty machines, even remotely repair them, and record the progress and results of repairs, thereby promoting digital management.

Internet of Things (IoT): Neural Network for Urban Operations

Imagine if the city's infrastructure, services, and various items are connected to a central hub, and every activity and project is monitored in real time through high-end communication networks and sensors. What kind of changes will this bring to urban management? This is one of the core goals of integrating the Internet of Things into urban development. With its powerful data collection capabilities, IoT technology enables relevant institutions and individuals to monitor and track key indicators such as energy use, waste management, traffic flow, and air quality in real time (Technical concept source: Internet of Things Industry White Paper).
The integration of the Internet of Things has greatly simplified and improved the management and control system and operations of urban managers. Urban managers can more accurately control resource allocation and public safety, which not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces costs. Smart cities that integrate the Internet of Things have shown significant advantages in livability and sustainability (Industry perspective source: Expert research in the field of urban planning and management).

Examples: Barcelona smart trash cans: overflow detection reduces the frequency of garbage truck dispatch;
Israel drip irrigation system saves 40% of water consumption through soil moisture sensors;
China's express delivery industry has widely adopted IoT devices, and a single courier can handle more than 2,000 express deliveries per day. It is expected that in 2024, China's express delivery business volume will exceed 174.5 billion pieces.

Smart healthcare: a line of defense to protect the health of urban residents

The high incidence of airborne infections and contact diseases in cities is mainly due to dense populations and relatively insufficient medical facilities. Modern cities should actively introduce smart medical management equipment to speed up medical processes and ensure the traceability and safety of medical processes.

Intelligent management of drug preparation:

For example, through intelligent means such as displaying drug inventory information on devices, scanning drug barcodes, and automatic system identification and verification, the prescription content can be accurately matched, effectively avoiding preparation errors caused by human errors, fully ensuring the safety of medical drugs, and effectively avoiding a lot of time looking for drugs. This effectively improves the medical process and further protects the health of urban residents.

Conclusion:
Cities are achieving systematic upgrades in three dimensions: efficiency, sustainability, and safety. Technology empowerment can increase the utilization rate of urban resources by 20%-50% and speed up the response of public services by 60%.
