Abstract

The booming development of digital economy has injected new vitality into the transformation and upgrading of urban economies. In this context, low-altitude logistics and smart city construction have become hot topics in both academic and practical fields. Low-altitude logistics, as an important branch of smart logistics, has been widely researched and applied in practice. The paper aims to explore the collaborative development path between low-altitude logistics and smart city construction in the context of digital economy. By constructing a theoretical framework and discussing the applications of IoT technology in low-altitude logistics and smart city construction, the research results are expected to enrich and improve the theoretical system of smart city and low altitude logistics, providing new perspectives and ideas for research in related fields.
