Guests no longer simply listen to introductions; they step into real work scenarios, operate functional modules with their own hands, intuitively understand the people-centered philosophy of urban governance, and experience in all dimensions the “Beijing Model” of digital-intelligent empowerment in megacity governance.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Walking into the hotline call-handling site, the guests saw the achievements of digital-intelligent technology integrated into the entire process of public service laid out before them one by one.In the smart workplace area, the precise call prediction system, built on multi-source big data such as meteorological and traffic data, enables scientific allocation and efficient coordination of operator staffing. The real-time scheduling data screen allowed guests to directly feel the efficiency support behind responses to citizen appeals. In the smart customer service display area, featured services were showcased together, including foreign-related service channels in 10 languages, enterprise-dedicated desks receiving an average of over 2,500 appeals per day, and video sign language accessibility services. Many guests tried out the appeal interaction function of the Jingtong App on site, experiencing first-hand the efficient process of AI intelligently collecting appeals and automatically generating handling work orders.

The development journey of the reform over more than seven years is clearly presented. To date, the 12345 hotline has handled approximately 200 million appeals from citizens and enterprises, with both the resolution rate and satisfaction rate steadily remaining above 97%.Behind the numbers is the daily work of more than 1,700 frontline operators dedicated to their posts, as well as the “Beijing path” of modern megacity governance driven by citizen demands. Through concrete figures and vivid cases, guests directly perceived the warmth and governance effectiveness of the SRPC mechanism.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Building a dialogue window: Sharing Beijing’s experience in megacity governanceThis visit was both an on-site governance observation and a global dialogue on urban governance. Through first-hand experience of the practice of building a people’s city in the process of Chinese modernization, visiting guests said they understood the practical logic of Beijing’s use of digital technology to handle livelihood matters. The event also provided reference cases for megacity governance worldwide.Using the hotline as a window, this event helps international audiences gain a deeper understanding of the underlying logic of Beijing’s urban governance, genuinely feel the real warmth of public services, accumulate exchange outcomes that can be summarized, replicated, and disseminated, and continuously expand the international communication influence of Beijing’s megacity governance.The Beijing Forum on Swift Response to Public Complaints is held every two years, and 2026 marks the fourth edition. The distinguished guests’ “Visit to the 12345 Hotline” event is a supporting activity of the forum and a standing window for continuously showcasing China’s urban governance practice to the world and building international exchange and dialogue. This year’s forum will be held from October 12 to 13 in Beijing, with the permanent theme “People’s City, Better Future” and the 2026 annual theme “Digital Intelligent Era and People’s City.” During the forum, a series of outcomes will also be released, including theoretical research results on the SRPC reform, evaluation reports on urban hotline services and governance effectiveness at both global and national levels, and typical cases of global urban governance.Contact person: Ms. Zhu, Tel: 86-10-63074558This advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
