Innovative Governance

11. Jingban, Jingtong and Jingzhi mobile terminals 

Jingban is an inter-agency office platform that serves as a unified work portal for government staff at the municipal, district, sub-district and community levels.

Jingtong is the city's unified public service platform that coordinates online and offline services, and provides direct government and public services to individuals and businesses.

Jingzhi is a comprehensive service platform that combines and manages different categories of apps for decision-making, designed to facilitate informed decision-making of authorities at all levels. It also pools data across the city to bolster the development of such apps and improve the efficacy of government decision-making.

12. Digital infrastructure for a smart city

This digital infrastructure consists of seven components, namely, the city QR code, spatial layout maps, basic toolkit, computing resources, sensing systems, telecommunications, and government cloud, plus a big data platform. They combine to form a shared and interconnected foundation platform to make Beijing a smart city.

The city QR code, spatial layout maps, sensing systems and the big data platform ensure full data supply; the government cloud and telecommunication networks offer strong data carrying capacity, while computing resources and the basic toolkit improve the smart application of such data. Together they provide the city with comprehensive resources and services that are efficient, safe and smart, under one uniform system to digitize all areas of city management.

13. The "every microgram counts" initiative

This is a long-term initiative for controlling Beijing's air pollution. It uses a combination of targeted measures to achieve its purpose, including technology, enforcement and compliance, and management measures. Under this initiative, each and every microgram of emission reduction counts.

14. Responsible officials experiencing their own services 

This is a practice wherein government officials at the levels of director-general and division director, acting as private citizens or business representatives, go through the process of obtaining public services or conducting official business both online and off. The practice is used to determine whether the processes are "easy to understand" and "accessible", and whether the experience is "satisfactory".

This is an attempt to deal with the "last mile" in policy implementation and improve effectiveness at the "front end" of the policy-making process. It helps deliver practical and quality services to the people with attention paid to details.
