Smart City

We strive to build Hong Kong into a world class smart city, through adopting the measures set out in this Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong.

“Hong Kong needs to push for innovation because other cities are moving fast”

- Rosemary Feenan, Head of Global Research Programmes

The city was an early adopter of 'smart city' development when the government published its 'Digital 21 Strategy.' However, it is now perceived to have fallen behind its regional rival Singapore.

"Hong Kong needs to push for innovation because other cities are moving fast," says our Head of Global Research Programmes, Rosemary Feenan, who notes Hong Kong has dropped outside the top 10 in some innovation eco-system indices.

The key elements of Hong Kong's smart city blueprint are mobility, living, environment, people, government and economy. The concept aims to create a "happier, healthier, smarter and more prosperous city."
