The digital base and public support platform of "Smart Hondlon" has been completed, and new applications focusing on smart community and smart urban management have been launched.

Hondlon district has used various methods to integrate the "smart city" concept into urban governance and residents' lives so that residents can enjoy the benefits brought by digital innovation.

At present, Smart Hondlon has summarized business fields with similar functions and close connection into four categories – Party building, economic ecology, rule of law, and public services, and expanded various urban operation topics through the urban operation-decision-analysis platform.

Smart city essentially refers to the use and processing of urban data to better manage cities.

To date, the platform in Hondlon provides 463 indicators, along with a 110-square-kilometer live 3D map of the main urban area of the district.
