The 2019 Shenzhen Smart City Forum With International Friendship Cities will be held from May 14 to 15, 2019. UN-Habitat, city representatives, global experts and scholars with advanced smart city experience, and enterprises providing cutting-edge technologies, solutions and practices such as Huawei, will be present for open discussion on smart cities.

The smart city urban development trend creates a favorable environment for industry development, enterprises, and residents. Since smart cities have become a global consensus, city managers worldwide have begun to explore digital transformation to create smarter, safer communities. As the adage says, 'A smart city is built based on a safe one'. This forum will share how to integrate Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The integration will help city managers build a secure, intelligent, convenient, and efficient social and economic environment, achieve sustainable, steady urbanization, as well as make cities more competitive.
