Background of Smart City Development
According to the UN, by 2050 the world's population will grow from 5 billion to 9 billion, with the urbanization rate reachiing up to 70%. As population and resource consumption are concentrated in cities due to rapid urbanization, various social problems such as fine dust, traffic congestion, water chortage and disaster safety and intensifying, posing a major threat to the city's sustainability.
As a matter of fact, major countries around the world are pursuing smart cities in a variety of ways, including the creation of Living Labs (Santander, New Mexico), the operation of data platforms (Milton Keynes, Cambridge), and solution development(Columbus, USA).
Countries around the world are paying attention to smart cities as a new alternative to solving urban problems, and making full-fledged efforts to promote smart cities using fourth industrial revolution technologies such as big data and AI.
Korea’s Smart City
Smart cities in Korea began in the early 2000 as a public-led initiative under the title of U-CITY (Ubiquitous City) centering on new cities such as Hwaseong Dongtan, Paju Unjeong, Daejeon Doan, Incheon Songdo, and Sejong. In 2008, the ACT ON THE CONSTRUCTION, ETC. OF UBIQUITOUS CITIES was enacted to ensure efficient construction and management of ubiquitous cities. Today, smart cities are no longer confined to public-led new town development projects
This is a key means to efficiently manage and enhance new cities, as well as existing cities, and has become an aspiration for all cities. The public sector is providing various policy support to help the private sector continue to develop and adopt new technologies for the growth of cities.

The Smart City Information System
The Smart City Information System is a communication window for sharing knowledge and various policies promoted by the public sector, such as smart city planning, smart city projects, R&D, and governance. It will deepen trust between the public sector, private sector, and general public regarding national policies by sharing knowledge and information on smart cities with both professionals in the field of smart cities and regular citizens.
Further, it aims to archive policies from the past, present, and future, going beyond a simple policy information service. There is an avalanche of information in the public sector now that all cities aspire to become smart cities. Records of such information will be the footsteps of Korea’s smart city policy and useful resources to guide the future direction.
