[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Hanam City in Gyeonggi Province has received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for its 'Smart City' plan, which encompasses a future-oriented urban model.

According to Hanam City's Smart City plan on the 17th, the city has outlined strategies and a detailed roadmap for building smart city services to be implemented from this year through 2025, in line with its vision.

The city's three main strategies are ▲ a 4th Industrial Revolution innovation district specialized in IT and R&D ▲ urban regeneration linked with living labs and wellness living environments ▲ creation of an ecosystem based on D?N?A (Data?Network?AI).

Based on these, 21 smart city services were derived, categorized into four themes: residential environment improvement, efficient city administration, quality of life enhancement, and leisure and culture.

Key services include big data-based shuttle buses, autonomous buses, Hanam-style smart parking integration, pedestrian safety, personal mobility sharing, and Hanam Blue Sky management (IoT-based).

Additionally, waste management, Hanam-style digital (citizen) market office, AI-tracked safe return paths, Hanam historical and cultural streets, and smart parks are also included.

This year, the city plans to advance existing smart services and expand infrastructure. From next year through 2025, it aims to complete the spread of smart services and data integration.

The estimated project cost is a total of 35.8 billion KRW, including 9.4 billion KRW from national and provincial funds and 1.3 billion KRW in private investment. The city intends to secure funding through central government contests and private investment cooperation by 2025.

Previously, the city began drafting the plan in March last year, applied for approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in January this year, and after revisions and procedures, received final approval on the 15th.
