Intensive construction of new infrastructure to support high-quality urban development

Compared with the traditional infrastructure, the new infrastructure has the characteristics of high technical content, strong application and fast depreciation speed. High technology content means that the construction of new infrastructure is mainly based on the application of new generation of information technology such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, and promotes the integrated development of the real economy, with high barriers to entry of information technology. Application empowerment means that the construction of new infrastructure is driven by data production factors and takes "digital industrialization and industrial digitalization" as the main line, which can give play to the amplification, superposition and multiplication of "digital factors" on economic development, generate a large number of innovative application scenarios and new forms of industry, tap and cultivate new drivers of economic growth, and form new advantages of economic growth. Fast depreciation means that the construction of new infrastructure is based on the application of a new generation of information technology, emphasizing rapid iteration and accelerated depreciation, and may face replacement needs in three to five years, which is completely different from traditional infrastructure such as roads, Bridges, railways, which emphasizes safety and durability, and the quality goal is usually decades. Based on the above three characteristics of new infrastructure, if local governments, in order to pursue short-term economic development and follow the trend of new infrastructure construction, blindly and impulsively plan new infrastructure-related projects, over-emphasize new and foreign projects and deviate from local needs and development realities, it may cause local debt crisis and squeeze investment in other areas. The final social and economic benefit is far less than the input.

Third, promote intensive joint construction of new infrastructure in light of local conditions

The new infrastructure has become an important support for the high-quality development of cities, and is an advantageous option to improve the energy level and quality of cities. If a city ignores the construction of new infrastructure, it will be at a disadvantage in a number of competitions, such as the layout of smart scenes in the field of urban governance and people's livelihood, the play of the enabling role of digital elements, the digital transformation of the whole industry, and the operation of smart cities, which will ultimately affect the overall competitiveness of the city. Local governments need to focus on four areas when planning investments and participating in the construction of new infrastructure.

1. Strengthen top-level design and carry out new infrastructure construction in a coordinated and intensive manner.

In light of the needs of the construction of a new smart city and the development of the digital economy, we will adhere to a global, systematic, market-oriented, and entrepreneurial thinking, carry out scientific planning and overall layout, and promote the development of large networks, big data, big platforms, big services, and big industries with the idea of "both soft and hard" and "virtual and real management". On the one hand, accelerate the construction of physical physical space "hard facilities", incorporate 5G and other information infrastructure construction planning into national space planning, take into account the needs of future urban governance and industrial development, and increase the opening-up of government agencies, public places, municipal facilities, social towers, residential communities and commercial buildings. Promote the joint construction, sharing and sharing of public infrastructure such as 5G base stations, video surveillance, and iot sensing terminals. On the other hand, strengthen the management of virtual cyberspace, promote the construction of "soft facilities" such as artificial intelligence algorithms, digital mechanism models and knowledge maps, improve the effective governance level of various "soft" virtual resources and intangible factors, improve data governance capabilities, and make up for the shortcomings of "soft assets" governance.

2. Focus on demand and carry out new infrastructure construction in advance.

The construction of new infrastructure should not only build the "base" of infrastructure in the new era, but also provide the core "engine" for industrial transformation, consumption upgrading, service quality improvement, and economic efficiency, and reflect the construction value with "application results". First, the construction of new infrastructure projects should adhere to the demand orientation, problem orientation and goal orientation, start from solving the most urgent problems of local economic and social development in the post-epidemic era, adapt to the new expectations of the people for a better life, driven by the needs of the government, enterprises and the public, with application results as the core and business objectives as the guide, and scientifically carry out project demand analysis and calculation. The second is to avoid simple construction-oriented, technology-oriented and project-driven, and realize the scientific calculation design of new infrastructure construction from "strategic goal" to "business application goal" to "system construction goal". The third is to avoid blind construction, redundant construction and extravagance and waste, based on the economic, applicable, advanced, efficient, low cost and high efficiency of the new infrastructure development road, to provide the broad masses of the people with useful, affordable and well-used new infrastructure and services.
