초록

It has recently become quite prominent that China’s smart city construction is backed up by cooperation between local governments and private enterprises. What lies behind this emerging local government - private enterprise partnership surrounding smart city construction? What implication does this phenomenon offer regarding politico-economic development in China? Through archival research, we first found the specific incentives that spurred constructing smart cities in China: raising efficiency in urban construction and promoting industrial restructuring. Then, we traced how these factors have induced cooperative mechanism between local governments and private enterprises. Through an empirical analysis on the case of smart city construction in Xiong’an, we ascertained the development of local government - private enterprise partnership. We also found out that, regardless of administrative level, the cooperation between local governments and private enterprises has become a common practice in smart city construction. Theoretically, such empirical analysis expands the discussion of “urban entrepreneurialism”. By suggesting the concept of “evolved urban entrepreneurialism”, we argue that smart city construction expands the role of private enterprises not only to solve existing problems from urbanization but also to move toward sustainable economic growth while overcoming challenges Chinese economy is currently facing. This study further sheds lights on our understanding of “authoritarian resilience” in that these seemingly neoliberal attempts that incorporate more market elements into the Chinese system is aimed to consolidate current authoritarianism.
