Xiong'an: China’s City of the Future Reshaping Daily Life
Established in 2017 in Hebei province to alleviate urban pressure on Beijing, Xiong'an has emerged as a testing ground for futuristic urban planning. While the region boasts a history spanning thousands of years, it currently serves as a hub for high-tech advancements. Robots provide daily services, and automated digital systems streamline operations in local libraries. The city operates on the '15-minute city' model, ensuring all essential services are accessible within a short distance for residents. Technologically, the area is at the forefront of 6G research and implements the 'Eastern Data, Western Computing' strategy to manage information resources efficiently. Smart homes connected to high-speed networks highlight the vision for domestic AI integration. Environmental preservation, particularly the rehabilitation of Baiyangdian Lake, remains a core component, reflecting the goal to create a sustainable city where technology and nature coexist.
