Daegu and Siheung selected as Smart City data-based

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on May 10 that it has chosen Daegu Metropolitan City and Siheung City in Gyeonggi Province as a demonstration city for the research and development project based on intelligent data.
The Smart City based on data is a city based on technology to badyze and process the city data in real time to provide various municipal services desired by citizens.

According to the purpose of the research, the city of Daegu is divided into city problem solving type and Siheung City is the type of business creation.

The Urban Problem Solving Model is an empirical research model for large cities to solve common urban problems such as traffic, security, and city administration

Daegu City , proposed as a goal, has established plans to conduct research activities such as the activation of intelligent mobility (traffic), emergency response in case of emergency (security) , early warning (municipal administration).

The business creation model is a research model for small and medium-sized cities to apply new industries such as energy, environment and well-being smart cities.

.

The National Strategy Project is one of nine research and development projects, including Smart City, Artificial Intelligence, Fine Dust and Virtual Augmented Reality, selected at the 2nd Science and Technology Strategy meeting in August 2016.

The Smart City National Strategy Project consists of a joint technology development project and two empirical research projects: from this year until 2022, the project will invest 115.9 billion KRW to develop the model of Korean data center.
A representative of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, "The results of research in provincial cities will be distributed in various cities in Korea, including pilot cities of smart cities such as Sejong and Busan. "He said.
