People centered smart innovation drives high quality urban lifestyle

Smart communities offer happiness and security

Yoga enthusiast Ma Yazhou lives in a smart community in the Lijia Area of Yubei District. Before starting her session inside the communal space, she links her phone to the PA system through Bluetooth and easily puts on some music in the pavilion.

Smart elements have become a part of regular everyday life for this wired member of the Lijia community.

'Functions are not just limited to the PA system. We also use smart entrances with swift facial recognition, a reporting system for security issues, intelligent recreational facilities, and a management service app daily.'

In total, there are around a dozen examples of advanced technology put to use in this community, which are accessible through integrated applications that have intertwined modern technology with everyday life.

Elderly residents have not been left behind, either. The Lijia Neighborhood has entered into a trial service with Chongqing Cable, which now offers a special channel providing local news and information on favorable policies.

The channel also provides access to communal services and the local authorities so that residents can inquire about civil affairs, opportunities to join the 'Elderly University,' and learn more about cultural and social benefit activities in the community.

Local communities' government services and education have been integrated into a smart online network in sync with traditional face-to-face contact. The advantages of this new network are that citizens can first make inquiries and appointments 24 hours a day with ease and without setting foot outside their homes.

People will remain at the heart of smart community development while their needs and opinions are given careful attention. This way, residents of all ages will enjoy greater access and convenience to the services they require, making their lives happier as a result.
