Scholars' Views | Liu Dayong et al.: Promote the construction of smart cities with the integration and development of data elements

发布时间:2023-02-27

  The integration and development of data elements promote cooperation and innovation among all participants, and inject new vitality into the development of smart cities. On the one hand, the integration and development of data elements continuously promote the development of intelligent application scenarios of urban management and the cultivation of urban innovation ecology. On the other hand, smart city construction can also make good use of the advantages of intelligent infrastructure and data resource platform to accelerate the cultivation and improvement of data element market.


  How to promote the construction of smart cities through the integration and development of data elements? Liu Dayong, Xu Yuan and Chen Tong, from the College of Management and Economics (CoME) of Tianjin University (TJU) and the Research Center for National Intellectual Property Strategy Implementation of Tianjin University, pointed out the function mechanism and governance mechanism of data elements’ integration and development on the construction of smart cities from three aspects (improving the level of urban public services and cooperative governance, promoting the deep integration and optimization of production factors, and forming new comparative advantages and industrial development opportunities). It has been a certain inspiration for digital public governance and smart city development. The article has been published on the China Social Science Network - China Social Science News (January 17, 2023).

  The construction of smart cities achieves the improvement of the quality of economic and social development and the level of governance services through multi-dimensional storage, recording, processing and circulation of massive data, which needs to be supported by certain infrastructure and public services. As a new production factor, data will have a profound impact on urban economic development, social operation and public governance. The full integration of data with various elements under the premise of security protection can promote the extensive cooperation and innovation activities of participants in various fields, and constantly inject new vitality into urban development.


  The development and application of data elements can help improve the level of urban public services and cooperative governance. First of all, in the construction of smart cities, we should pay attention to opening and sharing data in a safe and orderly manner, provide a platform for the collection of data elements, resource integration and application, which helps to promote the development, utilization and value realization of urban data resources. Secondly, data elements help to improve the level of government governance and service efficiency. Through in-depth cooperation with enterprises and social organizations, the government has built intelligent platforms such as "urban brain" to support accurate decision-making based on cross-department and cross-system data integrated management, which will help to improve the public service level of the city in various fields such as public transport, medical treatment, education, culture and government services. At the same time, data elements can connect various livelihood security service scenarios online and in entities, so that residents' needs can be timely responded and fed back, which further improve the quality of government services. In the process of promoting the development and utilization of data elements, many participants should jointly build and maintain the basic systems and standards for data transaction, circulation, open and sharing. And they should also take into account data privacy security protection, digital economic value creation, etc., and accelerate the formation of a multi-party collaborative data element governance mode including government, enterprises, social organizations, etc.


  The integration of data elements and other production factors will help to further develop the potential of market factors and release new economic momentum. In the process of application, data elements can be deeply integrated with human resources, finance, technology and other elements, and further realize the matching of supply and demand in the labor market, the in-depth development of inclusive finance and the transformation of technological achievements through digitalization, thus increasing the use opportunities of elements, improving the allocation efficiency and creating higher market value. While promoting the use efficiency of other factors, data elements can also break the information barrier through data circulation, create favorable conditions for the optimal combination and rational allocation of various factors, promote collaborative innovation among market entities, and improve the total factor productivity of urban economy.


  The deep integration of data elements will probably change the city’s comparative advantage determined by the original factor endowment structure and then give birth to new industrial development opportunities. For example, emerging digital industrial clusters such as digital manufacturing and digital services have been formed. First of all, data elements can promote the digital transformation of traditional industries, stimulate the innovative ability of enterprises in intelligent manufacturing, personalized customization and networked collaboration, drive the transformation of industries in production mode and organizational form for realizing optimization and upgrading. Secondly, the massive collection and interaction of urban data and information can continue to support talents and teams to carry out extensive creative attempts in the market, which becomes the key driving force for innovation. Finally, relying on the city's infrastructure investment, cooperative communication environment and spatial location advantages, it is conducive to the formation of new urban competitive advantages under open conditions by further developing the cost advantage and information radiation ability of data elements under the conditions of digital economy.


  The development and integration of data elements constantly promote the development of intelligent application scenarios for urban management and the cultivation of urban innovation ecology, creating opportunities for the development of smart cities. At the same time, smart city construction can also take advantage of the advantages of intelligent infrastructure and data resource platform to accelerate the cultivation and improvement of data element market, and fully realize the market value of data resources in the process of safe, orderly circulation and fair, efficient allocation. Based on this, urban construction can continuously achieve sustainable and high-quality development in a virtuous circle where governance services are optimized, factors are used efficiently, and economic efficiency is improved.
