History

Historical Context

The 2026 Xiong'an Global Governance Forum and Haidian District’s AI-driven complaint platform build on China’s smart-city origins, which began with a 2012 pilot program and expanded to roughly 500 projects by 2016. Successive milestones—such as the 2021 International AI City Challenge win—show how large-scale data integration now shapes both domestic services and international cooperation.
