Today, the city is proudly striding forward into an age of smart cities. Wuhan megacity governance stands out from the crowd.
Wuhan chose Huawei to build its new infrastructure - Wuhan Cloud. Positioned as Wuhan's digital foundation, Wuhan Cloud was officially launched in September 2021, the first city cloud in China. It established a new paradigm, along with a new speed record for building a city cloud.
The city built four centers for digital economy enablement, urban operations, digital talent training, and tech incubation. These centers enable five key aspects of smart cities: government management, citizen services, urban governance, industrial innovation, and habitability improvement.
All government service systems are integrated to Wuhan Cloud, which runs as a unified command and control center covering:
The medical insurance system, which now can be iteratively upgraded;
A "Five Cloud" service system for the Municipal Health Commission, now with access to abundant computing resources;
Decision-making assistance for the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau.
As a result, data of more departments is being converged on Wuhan Cloud, and services are able to reach out farther and cover a wider area. City governance is smarter, and using the cloud eliminates costs associated with building servers for each department, while also safeguarding data.
People in Wuhan are now enjoying a more convenient life and a more favorable business environment. This cloud has set the lifestyle of citizens on track towards a smarter digital future.
As of December 2023, Wuhan Cloud had served 91 municipal agencies (65 commission bureaus and 26 enterprise organizations), including the Government Service and Big Data Administration, Urban Administration, Medical Insurance Bureau, and Housing Provident Fund Administration of Wuhan, with a total of 279 service systems.
