The Pathway of "Intelligent Construction

Faced with the future decentralization trends of intelligent agent distribution in urban neighborhoods, this article proposes a new, integrated pathway of "intelligent construction + scenario operation." Its innovativeness lies in incorporating intelligent technology into processes of urban design, neighborhood renewal, and scenario operation. The pathway is tested through the empirical research on the case of the Shanghai Vanke Future City (NEXUS) project. In this project, the "intelligent construction + scenario operation" pathway is mainly demonstrated in scenarios of "intelligent transportation," "convenient living," "inclusiveness and security," and "environmental governance." The project becomes the model of combining production, ecology, and living together under Shanghai's new city strategy, and has gained positive social impacts. It verifies that the pathway is conducive to improving the design, construction, and operation qualities of future urban neighborhoods, providing a reference for China's smart neighborhood construction in the future.
