Conference Special: Building a 'smart' city

The government of Nanjing has made the transformation into a "smart" city using IT and other intelligent technologies an important priority in the city's 12th Five-Year Plan between 2011 and 2015.

A "smart" Nanjing will widely use cloud computing for digital government affairs while promoting e-commerce and e-services in the city.

The blueprint includes six sectors - infrastructure, public utilities, industries, resource management, technical support and support policies.
