SCC「香港智慧城市藍圖3.0」公眾諮詢 Smart City Blueprint 3.0 Consultation

SCC「香港智慧城市藍圖3.0」公眾諮詢

智慧城市聯盟(SCC)為非牟利組織，自2016年成立以來，一直為連繫各界，推動香港作為領先的智慧城市而努力，提供多項專業意見，2016年及2020年先後兩次向政府提交「香港智慧城市藍圖」及「香港智慧城市藍圖2.0」建議書，並定期與不同政府部門舉行會議，討論智慧城市的最新進展。
 
配合政府就智慧城市的未來發展，智慧城市聯盟(SCC)再次聯同香港總商會及香港理工大學賽馬會社會創新設計院向政府提交「香港智慧城市藍圖3.0」建議書，現正進行公眾諮詢，邀請各界就下列提供意見：
1. 對政府之前推出的智慧城市藍圖的滿意度；
2. 香港在「智慧出行」、「智慧生活」、「智慧環境」、「智慧市民」、「智慧政府」及「智慧經濟」六個主要範疇的未來發展；
3. 中、長遠，尤其在結合大灣區、北部都會區及大嶼山發展方面如何規劃智慧城市發展。
 
我們諮詢公眾、持份者、SCC 會員，MoU(合作備忘錄)簽署夥伴的意見後，將於2022年10月向政府提交「智慧城市藍圖3.0建議書」，作為政府制定相關政策和標準的參考。
 
各界人士請於2022年9月5日前填寫「建議書」(網上提交請按此)，然後按「提交」；或直接將書面意見電郵到 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 。

城市場景啟發思考
情景1
智慧出行、智慧市民、智慧生活、長者關懷
這是一個美好的星期天，張先生一家四口計劃探望居住在大埔的祖父母，然後來個晚飯聚會。他們在討論如何出行：張先生在智能電話上閱到一則在在獅子山隧道的交通意外新聞，九龍一帶交通受阻，因此糾結應否駕駛電動車到目的地；兒子Jerry提議乘搭MTR連接太子及東鐵線的新線段。Jerry與妹妹Josephine一直很想參觀科學園，那裡提供不同的STEM計劃及風景優美的單車徑。因此，Jerry與Josephine告訴父母說想到科學園，並乘搭其中的無人車穿梭地鐵站與公園。張先生亦鼓勵子女多學習工程及科學知識，看看他們會否修讀STEM科目。
 
最後，張先生與太太同意早一點到科學園吃午餐，並提議用apps預約租用單車及預約餐廳座位。那兩兄妹聽到後非常雀躍。Jerry去整理行裝，及請妹妹準備好防曬用品。張先生考慮到他的電動車只剩30%電量，而且在大廈預約到的充電器只有晚上時段 ──所以他們會乘搭公共交通在下午遊覽科學園，晚上才找祖父母聚餐，做法也比較環保。
 
張家整裝待發，此時Jerry提醒父親要帶新買的智能長者家居安全監測系統到祖父母家，說安裝系統後祖父母可使用到智能安全措施。
 
情景2
John 與太太Sandy 喜歡散步，平常出外參加活動或到超級市場時都會步行到目的地。他們的社區都有行人路連接到輕鐵及巴士等公共交通工具的侯車站。
 
John亦喜歡踏單車，有時亦會使用「香港出行易」程式搜尋單車路線，避開累人的交通擠塞。有時即使是到附近市區時，亦會人車爭路。因此，每出發前亦要先搜尋會否經過交通黑點及中途休息站。泊車在單車泊位時，單車遭人破壞或盜去零件屢見不鮮，因此John希望城市未來可利用科技適切地保障單車使用者。
 
除了注意道路情況外，John 亦關注路面污染會否對心血管健康有影響。John尤其關注道路環境、室外空氣質素、溫度、濕度及其他地區指數等數據，去考慮當天是否適合戶外步行或踏單車。然而，市面上此類地圖數據程式都不太「使者用友善」。數據較齊全的程式，介面及圖表多數較複雜，難以使用。因此，對John這類道路使用者來說，城市的地圖數據及圖表整合是非常重要。

4. 粵港澳大灣區（大灣區）
https://www.bayarea.gov.hk/tc/home/index.html

粵港澳大灣區（大灣區）包括香港、澳門兩個特別行政區，和廣東省廣州、深圳、珠海、佛山、惠州、東莞、中山、江門、肇慶九市，總面積約5.6萬平方公里。根據廣東省及香港和澳門特區政府提供的最新數據，2020年大灣區的總人口已經超過8,600萬，地區生產總值達16,688億美元。

國家於2019年2月18日正式公布《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》，標誌著大灣區建設邁上新台階。在中央的大力支持下，香港特區會更加積極主動融入國家發展大局，從而開拓發展新空間、增添發展新動力，為香港社會各界，特別是年輕人，帶來發展新機遇。

Food for thought

Case Scenario 1
It’s a lovely Sunday, Mr. Cheung and his family of four are planning to go to visit grandma and grandpa who lived in Tai Po for a dinner gathering. He was debating whether to take the electric car and drive the family of four and he was reading on the smartphone through an app that reported an accident near the Lion Rock Tunnel which causes a havoc in traffic in Kowloon side. His teenage son – Jerry suggested to take the new MTR line that connects directly from Admiralty through to the East Rail line. Jerry and his younger sister – Josephine have been longing to visit the Hong Kong Science & Technology Park where they have different STEM programmes and has a beautiful scenic bike trail. So, Jerry and Josephine try very hard to convince Mr. and Mrs. Cheung to also spend some time at the tech park, and they can even transit between the MTR station to the park on those unmanned autonomous vehicles. Mr. Cheung does want to encourage Jeremy and Josephine to learn more about engineering and science and see if they want to take up STEM subjects in future.

Mr. & Mrs. Cheung finally agreed and made a suggestion to have early lunch at the park and suggested to use an app to book a few bicycles and a table at the restaurant ahead of time. The pair of siblings was so happy and start jumping around - Jeremey started packing his stuff and urge his sisters to also prepare her sunscreen. Mr. Cheung also agreed with this plan as his electric vehicle is only 30% charged and may take a while as his booking for the nearby charger slot is for night time only – so traveling on the public transport and doing some exercise while spending an afternoon at the tech park and visiting grannies for dinner will become a good family outing idea.

While they were all excited, it was Jeremy who remembered and reminded Mr. Cheung to bring their newly bought smart elderly home-safety tracking system to bring to their grandma and grandpa’s home and he said he will help install and configure it so that his grandparents can communicate and use the smart sensors system for its safety features.

Case Scenario 2
John and his wife Sandy enjoy an active lifestyle and looks after their own well-being. They both like to walk between destinations, going to various activities and grocery shopping. Their neighbourhood is considered very well connected with pedestrian walkways to public transportation depots like MTR Light Rail station and bus terminus.

For John, he also enjoys bicycling and sometimes he uses "HKeMobility" app to search for bicycle routes to avoid congestion. When cycling in nearby town area, John has to share the road with other pedestrians and vehicles. Before each departure, he usually checks whether he will pass through traffic blackspots and stopovers. He is concerned about parking in the public bicycle spaces as vandalism and theft of bicycle parts are often observed; he wished the local city administrator can develop measure to improve safety of citizen’s property through technology.

In addition to paying attention to road conditions, John also pays attention to his health conditions related to a minor cardiovascular issue. Data on roadside conditions, outdoor air quality, temperature, humidity and other location-based data will provide critical information to him; especially useful for health risks prediction when walking and cycling due to road and building pollutant emissions. However, none of the map data programs and related information in the market are user-friendly and he must often seek to different mobile apps to seek for the information that he needs. It would be great if this information could be easily accessible for John and people with similar demographics before each trip.

Background
1. Previous SCC Smart City Blueprint Advisory Papers
https://smartcity.org.hk/upload/articles_lv1/0/20190215065411_610.pdf (Oct 2016)
https://smartcity.org.hk/upload/articles_lv1/0/20200427021602_156.pdf (April 2020)

SCC values the views and opinions from the different stakeholders and have previously solicited input and feedback through public consultation, discussion roundtable engaging members of SCC, MoU partners, HKGCC members, Hong Kong Polytechnic University JCDISI and subsequently compiled our advisory reports for Blueprint 1.0 and Blueprint 2.0 respectively in 2016 and 2020. SCC is currently preparing our Smart City Blueprint 3.0 Advisory report.

2. Previous Smart City Blueprints announced by the Government
https://www.smartcity.gov.hk/The Government published in December 2017 the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong (Blueprint), setting out 76 initiatives under six smart areas (i.e. "Smart Mobility", "Smart Living", "Smart Environment", "Smart People", "Smart Government" and "Smart Economy"), with a view to addressing the challenges of city management and improving people's livelihood through innovation and technology (I&T).

In December 2020, the Government released the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong 2.0 (Blueprint 2.0) with more than 130 smart city initiatives.

In addition to the six smart areas, the Blueprint 2.0 put forward the idea of smart village pilot initiatives to explore the use of technologies to address daily life issues faced by residents living in the countryside and further remote areas, such as medical consultation for the elderly and traffic arrangements. Blueprint 2.0 also provided a new chapter on 'Use of I&T in combating COVID-19'.

3. Northern Metropolis Development Strategy
(https://www.policyaddress.gov.hk/2021/eng/pdf/publications/Northern/Northern-Metropolis-Development-Strategy-Report.pdf (October 2021)

In 2021, the HSKAR Government laid out a vision to enable New Development Area (NDA) in northern part of New Territories as part of a strategy to holistically create a new metropolis development with a total of 30,000 hectares. This Development Strategy dubbed as the “Northern Metropolis Development Strategy” proposes to expand the Northern Economic Belt under the Hong Kong 2030+ to cover new towns in Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Fanling /Sheung Shui, various NDAs and development nodes in different planning and construction stages as well as their neighbouring rural areas.

This development strategy promises to provide both additional residential area, new job opportunities and new technology and industry parks that gives work/life balance - achieving smarter living and smarter mobility for citizens. It will also support the future growth of Hong Kong as a smart economy and with industry transformation initiatives that allow Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Zhuhai could be tightly integrated as part of the Greater Bay Area economic growth.
