Chongqing will promote 38 new urban infrastructures construction projects during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025). More than 5 billion yuan will be invested after the issuance of the Chongqing New Urban Infrastructure Construction Pilot Work Plan.

Draw new blueprint
The Plan outlines a new blueprint for a better life in a smart city in the future. In the near future, the City Information Modeling (CIM) platform will be widely used in urban planning, construction management, and other industries. For example, doctors can communicate with residents face-to-face through 5G cloud clinics. Uncrewed rental, uncrewed buses, uncrewed sanitation, and uncrewed logistics can operate in an orderly manner on urban streets. More construction robots will appear on the construction site.
More citizens will start a new way of smart life. Our city will integrate community information resources such as population, houses, and facilities, and locate relevant information to the street, community, and building. The access control system, property management system, security system, postal storage system will also upgrade for existing residential communities.
Use new technology
According to the plan, the city's CIM platform's construction includes the CIM basic platform and the "CIM+" application.
The CIM basic platform is committed to building a multi-dimensional digital twin city, providing massive data support for urban planning, construction, management, and operation decisions.
The CIM platform combines a new generation of information technology such as large-scenario Geographic Information System (GIS )technology, small-scenario Building Information System (BIM) technology, and The Internet of Things (IoT) technology. It builds a three-dimensional model of urban buildings and infrastructure, so detailed that even the air conditioning in the room can be clearly displayed.
The "CIM+" application uses platform data as its base to carry out in-depth applications in areas. Such as urban physical examination, people's livelihood services, and urban management. It can detect potential urban hazards in time, provide intelligent and precise services, and improve the overall urban construction level and operational efficiency.

Promote new development
Fan Kun, deputy director of the Basic Data Institute of Chongqing Municipal Design and Research Institute, believes that the impact of new urban construction on the industry is mainly reflected in three sectors.
It will promote the construction of smart infrastructure through the upgrading and transformation of existing urban roads, bridges, and tunnels, which will spawn new construction needs.
The second is to carry out the pilot project involving smart city infrastructure and intelligent networked vehicles coordinated development to improve road operation efficiency.
Thirdly is to promote intelligent construction industry development.
Create new opportunities
"The development of new urban construction is inseparable from the in-depth participation of enterprises, and its broad development space will allow more enterprises to find development opportunities," said an industry insider. He estimated that if the investment-driven ratio of 1:9 is followed, these projects were estimated worth more than 100 billion yuan.
