Abstract

In Korea, Kim finds that the crucial element in its success is the development of Smart Cities, that is cities in which the urban infrastructure converges with ICT and the appropriate land development policy. The purpose of using smart technologies to deal with problems such as population density, congestion, pollution and energy shortage; it is also to introduce drones, autonomous driving, AI and big data. The objective is that of promoting future smart urban development, through a melding of business (technology), the city (planning and design), and the community (participation). The progress made by many cities in Korea suggests the appropriateness of this approach.
