The commitment to smart cities and smart towns was firmly established by the Chinese government in its 12th Five-Year Plan issued in 2011. In the years since, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Yinchuan and Hangzhou have become notable examples of older urban areas that have received smart city makeovers. Of the 1,000 smart city projects that are currently being built worldwide, China is home to half of them. China is fully engaged in implementing smart city initiatives as a way to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its rapidly growing cities, providing citizens with improvements in transportation, communication, environmental management and crime prevention.

The initiative brings innovation to government and opens channels for citizen participation.
Current Situation & Development Framework of Sino-Foreign Eco-CitiesSmartEcoCity (SEC)
Due to the challenges of climate change, creating eco-cities has gradually become the paramount goal of global urban construction. As the primary region of urban construction in the world, China has a significant impact on sustainable development: 80% of prefecture-level cities have a minimum of one eco-city being considered for construction. Various versions of the eco-city model are being developed in China, all of which seek to impose change at a rapid pace and on a vast scale. An underlying bilateral partnership framework has led to the success of several Sino-Foreign eco-city projects. According to research, the three key components for developing a successful Sino-Foreign eco-city are: an inclusive political framework, a comprehensive organizational and financial structure and robust technical solutions.
Smart Cities and Eco-Cities, which are booming in Europe, are an opportunity to drive a more sustainable economic urban development, an incubation of innovation and a transformation that can merge the world of mobile services, Internet of Things and Social Networks with the Physical Infrastructures of Smart Building, Smart Utilities (i.e. electricity, heating, water, waste, transportation, and unified communication&collaboration infrastructure)...
