i
From transportation and public housing, to energy management and water

n
treatment, Singapore has developed and adapted some of the world’s most

U
l
advanced urban solutions. Backed by a progressive leadership and firm

i c a
commitment to sustainable development, the city has managed to turn the

og
challenges of urban development into rewarding economic opportunities.

o l
Some of those solutions have been replicated and implemented successfully

n
in other cities.

c h
t Te
Even though Singapore can already be regarded as a ‘smart’ city, the

ra
government is actively exploring ways to make the city even smarter. Key

j a
elements in this approach are the integration of policies, the intelligent use of

G u
ICT, and the focus on ‘liveability’; i.e. czeating cities in which people are happy
to live.

i
• Smart City Barcelona seeks to efficiently provide city services at multiple

n
levels to all citizens by harnessing information and communications

U
l
technology (ICT) through development and implementation of the

i c a
Barcelona Smart City Model. The model identifies 12 areas under which

og
Smart City projects are initiated: environmental, ICT, mobility, water,

o l
energy, matter (waste), nature, built domain, public space, open

n
government, information flows, and services.

c h
Te
• Currently, the city has 22 major programs and 83 separate projects that fit

t
ra
into one or more of these 12 areas. Some of these projects include smart

j a
lighting, smart parking, smart water management, and smart waste

G u
management.

A smart city has been defined as a ‘knowledge’, ‘digital’, and ‘cyber’ or ‘eco’

n
city; representing a concept open to a variety of interpretations, depending

U
l
on the goals set out by a smart city’s planners. We might refer to a smart city

i c a
as an improvement on today’s city both functionally and structurally, using

og
information and communication technology (ICT) as an infrastructure.

• Device Donation
s i t y
v e r
i
• In 2012, Seoul began distributing second-hand smart devices
n
U
to low-income families and others in need. The ICT market

a l
moves rapidly and typical smart device users buy new
c
i
products well within the useful lives of the devices they are

og
replacing.

• Citizens are encouragedn o l

buying new ones, andh
c
to donate their old devices when

T e after these donated devices have been

t
inspected and repaired by manufacturers they are distributed

r a
free of charge
a
to vulnerable populations, such as beneficiaries

j
of Korea’s National Basic Living Security. Smart devices

G u
donators
USD
are incentivized by tax deduction in the range of
50 to USD 100 per device donated.

Smart Capability for All

Un

ITU-T Technology Watch Smart devices have the potential to give voice to vulnerable

c a
groups, whether impaired financially, physically, or by the effects of ageing. Dialing 120

og i
reaches “120 Dasan Call Center” which consolidates the call centers of 25 district offices.

o l
Those with hearing impairments are able to call the call center through a video-call system

n
which is today available as a mobile device application.

• Seoul Net

t Te
j a ra
Establishing a communication network dedicated to smart services has been a priority to

u
Smart Seoul. An administrative optical network called “e-Seoul Net” was established in

G
2003, embedding fibre-optic cable along Seoul’s subway tunnels to connect the city’s main
public buildings, its affiliated offices and municipalities.

Smart Work Center

Un
l
Seoul Metropolitan Government is piloting a “Smart Work Center” project, allowing

a
the government’s employees to work from 10 offices – Smart Work Centers – located

i c
much closer to their homes (Figure 3). As employees check-in to a Smart Work Center

og
for their shifts they are permitted access to sophisticated groupware and

l
teleconferencing systems, ensuring their absence from City Hall in no way impedes

o
their job performance.

c h n
Community Mapping

t Te
j a ra
ITU-T Technology Watch Seoul’s open governance model seeks to extend citizens the

u
opportunity to participate in the administration of the city, and “Community

G
Mapping” was born with this pursuit in mind. Using ICTs such as geographical-
information systems, the m. Seoul platform and social networks, citizens will be able
to raise the issues of greatest concern to their neighbourhood or community.

Smart Metering Project

Un
Seoul’s Smart Metering Project aims to reduce the city’s total energy use by 10 per cent, and in

l
2012, Seoul is piloting a program installing smart meters in 1,000 households. Smart meters

c a
provide home, office and factory owners with real-time reports of their electricity, water and gas

i
consumption. This information is presented in monetary units, and is accompanied by detailed

og
information on a household’s energy-consumption patterns and means of adjusting those

l
patterns to reduce energy costs.

U-Seoul Safety Service

Te c
U-Seoul Safety Service has been in operation since April 2008, utilizing state-of-the-art

t
Location Based Services and CCTV technologies to notify authorities and family

ra
members of emergencies involving children, the disabled, the elderly, and those

j a
suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Seoul has developed a smart device dedicated to

u
this purpose and when its holder leaves a designated safe zone or pushes its

G
emergency button, an emergency alert is sent to guardians, police, fire departments
and CCTV Control Centers.
