The essence of smart cities is to create an ecosystem conducive to innovation through the construction of four major systems: perception, transmission, knowledge, and application. Informationization is fragmented innovation, while smart cities are the overall innovation of a city. Big data makes causal relationships more precise, with clear correlations beyond surface causal relationships. Big data requires a large volume and good structure. Smart municipal governance is based on geographic information systems, urban grid systems, and digital urban management systems, fully utilizing technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing to effectively perceive, monitor, and manage urban public resources throughout the entire process of urban planning, design, construction, operation management, and management of municipal facilities and equipment.As urban public infrastructure, streetlights evolved into smart poles will be the sensing nerve endings and data entry points of the new smart city. Starting from the top-level design of interconnected smart cities, in order to truly achieve intelligent and refined management of cities, smart poles need to be pre laid out and have a globally unified management and operation mode, effectively breaking down data barriers and achieving interconnectivity of urban operational data.
