Hong Kong has been improving connectivity through its city-wide, public Wi-Fi network
"Hong Kong's current projects do not introduce radical new changes – instead, they incrementally improve and update the city’s existing systems or provide new applications and services."
Hong Kong’s Digital 21 Strategy was launched in 1998 and has been updated three times, most recently in 2014. The region has already completed many smart-city projects, including an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that has managed city transport infrastructure since 2001. Hong Kong also has a city-wide, public Wi-Fi network (which has over 44 000 hotspots to make online services more accessible) and smart metering technologies (which help reduce the cost of living).
This case study provides:
- an introduction to Hong Kong’s smart-city strategy
- its key motives for deploying smart-city projects
- an outline of smart-city services
- an overview of the key stakeholders
- an overview of the city's funding mechanisms
- key points on policy and regulation.
