Abstract
Since IBM brought the concept of “Smarter planet” in China in 2009, smart cites construction has become a new trend of urban development. By 2013, there were 193 approved pilot projects of smart cities in China. Smart city has been viewed as a key strategy to promote industrialization, informatization, and urbanization. The rapid development of smart cities in China is largely attributed to the cooperation between IT companies and the government. This paper will study how smart cities have been devel-oped in China. It will pay particularly attention to the roles and relation-ships of various actors (including the government, market and society) in the development of smart city, which further divided into four layers, that is, sensor layer, network layer, platform layer and application layer. This article will finally summarize Chinese experiences on the development of smart cities and giving the visions of future development.
