Yangcheon-gu Partners with LX to Establish 'Digital Twin Administrative Service Expansion Model'

Yangcheon-gu Selected as a Local Government for Digital Twin Expansion by Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation... Realizing a Living Anyangcheon in Virtual Reality Met in the Digital World

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is joining hands with Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (hereinafter LX) to actively establish a model for expanding digital twin administrative services.

To this end, on the 6th, Yangcheon-gu signed a memorandum of understanding for investment to build and expand a digital twin administrative service model at the district office, attended by Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, and Kim Jeong-ryeol, President of Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation.

'Digital Twin' refers to a living virtual world that creates a virtual space identical to reality, sharing and reflecting each other's information. It is a digital representation of the physical world. Based on this, it integrates various administrative data and phenomenon information (IoT) to enable simulation for solving urban problems, support scientific policy decision-making, urban monitoring, and real-world control.

The digital twin administrative service model construction project being promoted this time has a total project cost of 300 million KRW, with LX investing 250 million KRW and the district government 50 million KRW. It will proceed until October 2022 and aims to digitally realize 5.4 km of the left bank of Anyangcheon Stream and 350,000㎡ between Yanghwa Bridge and Ogeum Bridge.

Starting in the second half of this year, the district plans to promote the Anyangcheon landmark project worth 25 billion KRW to create a healing space that residents can visit anytime, implementing projects such as overbridge, super bank, and wide connection roads. Currently in the basic design phase, the digital twin will be constructed before the detailed design to conduct simulations in various project sectors, reducing trial and error and enabling optimal detailed design for residents.

Based on close cooperation with LX, the district plans to actively introduce digital twin technology to build administrative services that can improve residents' quality of life and make it a successful case of the 'Korean New Deal.'

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “I am very pleased to be able to draw a blueprint called the Yangcheon-type digital twin standard model together with Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation,” adding, “We will do our best to create a livable smart city Yangcheon by applying digital twin technology in various fields such as transportation, energy, and urban planning.”
