The ninth Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) is held in Barcelona from 
November 19 to 21, 2019. Huawei, together with more than 20 industry partners 
and customers, jointly attended the event under the theme of "Building a Fully 
Connected, Intelligent City." Based on the Horizon Digital Platform and 
Intelligent Operation Center (IOC) for cities, Huawei showcased a wide-range of 
urban applications, such as intelligent education, intelligent healthcare, 
intelligent government, as well as the latest strategic cooperation with 
Barcelona. Meanwhile, at the Innovative Smart City Cooperation Forum, Huawei

Building a Future Intelligent City in a "More Intelligent Way"

The Innovative Smart City Cooperation Forum was held on November 19. Shan 
Zhiguang, Director of the Informatization and Industry Research Department at 
the State Information Center, Rudolf Niessler, Principal Advisor for 
International Relations at the European Commission, and Sun Fuyou, Vice 
President of Huawei Enterprise Business Group shared their views. How to 
integrate various new technologies, connect information silos, efficiently 
govern data, and promote organizational and process transformation are common 
concerns between China and Europe, which are also challenges Huawei is 
dedicated to helping customers address.  

"Smart city development needs to consider both technical and human factors, and 
needs to be done more intelligently," said Mr. Sun. "It is a government-led 
initiative that requires a long-term, continuous process of development. 
Innovation, trial, and constant iteration will be key. An integrated digital 
platform can help powerful ecosystem partners conduct agile development and 
iterative operation based on the individual needs of the city."

Based on the Horizon Digital Platform, Huawei launched the "HiCity" Intelligent 
City Solution, which optimizes the integration of a variety of new ICT 
technologies and data to streamline service processes, share service data, and 
transfer information flows, reducing the threshold for the use of new 
technologies and makes integration easier. Together with ecosystem partners, 
Huawei aims to better support the governance and innovation of smart cities. 

Economic Vitality and Systematic Planning Are the Keys to Intelligent City 
Development

During the expo, Huawei officially released the Smart City Development and 
Governance Standpoints Paper. Through urban case analysis, the paper 
comprehensively details two typical models and six paths of how intelligent 
cities empower urban development. It is proposed that "economic" and 
"systematic" will be the keys to urban development.


The paper offered four initiatives on intelligent city construction. First, 
adaptation to new trends and shifting of the role of governments can accelerate 
intelligent city deployment. Second, adopting an economy-driven model can boost 
economic vitality. Third, systematic planning is needed to build a 
comprehensive and layered intelligent city capability system. Fourth, 
multi-faceted efforts help secure the sustainable development of intelligent 
cities.

During the expo, Smart City Industrial Ecosphere (SCIE), with Huawei as a 
member, reached strategic cooperation with the SCEWC to develop all-round 
cooperation in new technologies, industry incubation, industry standards, and 
industry ecosystems. Huawei hopes to contribute to the intelligent city 
standards, help cities build and enhance global competitiveness in the process 
of digitalization and intelligent transformation to jointly realize the vision 
and dream of a great city.
