    Since 2012, China has embraced the concept of “smart cities” in a bid to improve governance and urban officials’ decision-making, but more tech isn't always the answer.

    The concept of a “smart” city — in which digital technologies like data are collected and used to improve urban planning and resident well-being — can be traced back to at least the 1970s, with the publication of the first urban big data project: “A Cluster Analysis of Los Angeles.”

  • China mit weltweit umfassendster Webzensur

    Harvard-Studie: Internet einfacher zu kontrollieren als Telefon & Co.

    China verfügt weltweit über das umfassendste System zur Zensur von Websites und Inhalten im Internet. Beinahe 50.000 Websites sind für User im Reich der Mitte unzugänglich. Manche Themenbereiche wie z.B. Demokratisierung, Tibet und Taiwan sind nahezu vollständig blockiert. Das geht aus einer aktuellen Studie der Harvard Law School hervor. Diese bestätigt China bei seiner Internetpolitik durchaus Erfolge. Demnach sei für die chinesischen Behörden das Internet leichter zu kontrollieren als andere Kommunikationsformen wie Telefon, Fax und Briefe. Nur die entschlossensten und geschicktesten User schaffen es, die Filtersysteme der Zensur zu umgehen.
