数字文明时代,人类生产生活方式发生了重大变革,由数字技术赋能和改造的社会发展运行由针对城市单体建筑的建筑信息模型驱动、针对城市组团的城市信息模型驱动跨越到面向全球工程生态的全球信息模型驱动的新范式。这一新范式能有力发现和解决新的制度需求、新的管理需求、新的技术需求、新的文化需求以及新的标准需求,并不断催生额外的社会正收益,最终实现经济社会边际运行成本降低为零的宏伟目标。基于全球信息模型的工程生态不仅仅是对工程业务的升级,其延续并扩展了工程管理学和工程哲学,代表了在数字技术迭代创新下的全面根本性变革,并真正做到了数字经济与实体经济深度融合,为社会发展带来全新的创造性活力。基于全球信息模型的工程生态以工程化和生态化思维在全球范围内提供了一个统一、高效和协作的产业创新合作平台,并集合了多种前沿技术,提供覆盖系统工程技术和管理的全流程支持,将有力推动人类社会的升级迭代并直至引领人类文明形态新的跃迁。

In the rapidly advancing age of digital civilization, the world is witnessing unprecedented shifts in the patterns of humanproduction and living. Propelled and reshaped by burgeoning digital technologies, societal evolution has transitioned from traditionalparadigms, such as single urban building BIM (building information modeling) and urban cluster CIM (city information modeling), tothe holistic and forward-looking paradigm of the global engineering ecology, GIM (global information modeling). This paradigm ismore than just a technological leap; it embodies a comprehensive transformation in the way societies perceive and interact with thebuilt environment.The GIM paradigm is instrumental in identifying and addressing a plethora of emerging needs in diverse domains,ranging from intricate systems and managerial strategies to innovative technologies, evolving cultural norms, and modernstandardizations. By effectively addressing these multifaceted needs, the GIM approach not only optimizes processes but alsocontinually generates additional societal benefits. Its overarching goal is ambitious: to reduce the marginal operating costs of both theeconomy and society to an unprecedented zero, fostering a sustainable and efficient future. GIM’s significance transcends theboundaries of mere engineering advancements. Far from being confined within the realms of engineering innovation, GIM’s ethosintegrates foundational tenets from both engineering management and philosophy. This integration marks a significant milestone inthe evolutionary trajectory of engineering. Amidst the ceaseless waves of digital technology innovations, GIM stands as a testament tothe seamless amalgamation of the digital and physical realms of the economy. This harmonized union promises a societal renaissance,invigorated by unmatched creative fervor. Additionally, the underpinnings of GIM’s engineering ecology, fortified by a synthesis ofengineering expertise and ecological prescience, champion a global platform characterized by unity, efficiency, and collaboration.Serving as a beacon for transcontinental industrial innovation, this platform harnesses a spectrum of cutting-edge technologies,including but not limited to BIM, GIS (geographic information systems), IoT (internet of things), and CIM. GIM’s robust frameworkensuresunwavering support across the vast expanse of system engineering techniques and managerial practices, guaranteeing thatevery facet of the engineering lifecycle is addressed with precision. As global communities grapple with the multifarious challengesand prospects of the digital epoch, the GIM paradigm emerges as a luminous beacon of innovation and hope. Beyond mereenhancement of societal infrastructures, GIM sets its sights on their complete metamorphosis, envisioning a paradigm shift in humancivilization.In summation, this research underscores the quintessential role of the GIM paradigm in our digitally-driven world. Itserves as an urgent entreaty to global stakeholders to fathom its innovative nucleus, the profound policy implications intrinsic to it,and its unparalleled potential to enrich both academic and pragmatic discourses. As we stand on the precipice of a transformative era,GIM is poised to guide the global trajectory towards a future brimming with prosperity, sustainability, and holistic evolution.
