In many ways, the city of Seoul is both a blueprint “how-to” guide for smart city development and a petri-dish for technological experiments. Almost every aspect of public life in Seoul is guided by technology, from its integrated public transport system to the government’s emergency warning system.
Companies like Microsoft, Cisco and LG are just a few of those making technology omnipresent in the South Korean capital. It’s a constantly evolving process and when you think of a new “smart city” technology, it’s most likely that Seoul did it first – and probably some time ago.
