 Cities around the world are jumping into smart city construction with the wind of the 4th industrial revolution. Creating a more convenient and pleasant city through science and technology is a flow that transcends borders. Each country has a different aspect of technology development, but has one thing in common. The goal of building a smart city is to provide a pleasant and safe environment for people.
  Efforts are also being made in Korea to solve problems arising in transportation, environment, and housing using information and communication technology. Let's look at these efforts through Sejong City, a national pilot smart city. 
 Sejong City aims to create a safer city by monitoring the state of the city through the integrated urban information center, and to provide a more convenient environment through autonomous vehicles. In addition, it provides city services incorporating various technologies, such as LED safety lights for pedestrian crossings and Sejong Automatic Clean Net that solves urban waste problems.

K-Smart City is characterized by being able to provide customized support for each type of overseas expansion target, and being used as a major channel for exchange and cooperation.
  In the process of constructing U-city and smart city, Korea is characterized by a natural industrial ecosystem. The industry-academia-research network was created in the process of self-development of smart city element technologies or solutions required for new cities without procuring them from abroad. It should be noted that the industrial ecosystem built by self-developing solutions or systems necessary for Korean smart cities is also effective in solving problems in underdeveloped and developing countries.
