Abstract
Smart cities are rapidly emerging globally, with data resources being crucial in their development. Currently in China, data in smart cities is largely acquired through tracking and monitoring by sensors and control rooms. Moreover, challenges in managing, transforming, and sharing heterogeneous data result in smart cities facing the issue of "data islands." Furthermore, urban issues and development complexity call for more grassroots collective intelligence. Addressing the above-mentioned challenges, this paper proposes a new approach from the perspective of platform urbanism. It suggests constructing a "platform data ecosystem" for smart city development, contemplating how to enhance data acquisition diversity and humancentric nature, optimise data resource management, and facilitate diverse open data utilisation.
