In addition, the differences between small and medium-sized cities and large cities should be taken into consideration in the planning and promotion of the digital transformation of small and medium-sized cities. – The digital transformation of small and medium-sized cities can be divided into seven areas: people’s livelihood and services, industry and economy, governance and operation, environment and low carbon, government effectiveness, infrastructure, and development guarantee (leadership / policy) . Each area can be divided into three maturity levels. In specific planning and implementation, small and medium-sized cities can combine their respective resource endowments, industrial characteristics and development goals, and refer to the methodological panorama of the digital transformation of small and medium-sized cities - that is, the key feature matrix of digital transformation in seven functional areas in three stages ( 7*3 matrix) , to propose their own digital transformation entry points and paths. – To achieve digital transformation in small and medium-sized cities, governments, businesses, research institutions and citizens need to work in a coordinated and joint manner.
