This event was organized to inform internal and external audiences about the district’s smart city vision, direction, and projects, and to build public consensus on establishing the smart city vision.

The proclamation ceremony proceeded in the following order: ▲ signing an MOU with two neighboring districts to strengthen the smart city cooperation system ▲ reporting on the outcomes of visits to three European countries ▲ declaration of the smart city vision ▲ awards ceremony for the smart city project competition ▲ smartphone card section performance.

The first agenda of the day was the signing of a ‘Business Agreement to Strengthen the Smart City Construction Cooperation System’ among Dongdaemun-gu, Jongno-gu, and Gwangjin-gu.

The agreement includes ▲ mutual information and technology cooperation for promoting smart city development projects ▲ joint discovery and promotion of regionally specialized smart city business models ▲ formation of a working council. The three districts plan to actively cooperate to enhance the efficiency of smart city development projects and improve residents’ quality of life.

Next, the outcomes of visits to Spain, Denmark, and Italy and the district’s smart city vision were shared with the residents.

The district participated in the world’s largest smart city expo, ‘SCEWC 2023,’ held in Barcelona, Spain, strengthening networks with various cities. In Copenhagen, Denmark, it investigated eco-friendly energy policies and sought international solidarity for joint responses to the climate crisis. Additionally, in Turin, Italy, it visited Europe’s largest traditional market, ‘Porta Palazzo,’ examining factors that attract young people to traditional markets and exploring ways to revitalize the local economy.

During the subsequent smart city vision declaration, it was proclaimed that securing ample green spaces, connecting 4th Industrial Revolution technologies to daily life to improve residents’ quality of life, and other aspects represent the sustainable smart future city direction for Dongdaemun-gu.

Furthermore, the district presented key keywords for future smart city creation, including ▲ a city connected by advanced ICT technology ▲ a city where smart technology and diverse cultures coexist ▲ a MetaGreen smart city.

Along with this, an awards ceremony was held for six outstanding projects finally selected through evaluations by experts and residents at the ‘Smart City Project Competition’ held last October, recognizing the contributions of employees who helped build the smart city.

The final segment featured a smartphone card section performance. Participants used their smartphones to create the phrase ‘Smart City Dongdaemun,’ demonstrating residents’ commitment to building a smart city.

On the 2nd floor of the district office’s art gallery, an ‘Exhibition Promotion Zone’ was operated where visitors could experience the district’s smart city projects, including ▲ autonomous civil service robot ‘Dongdong-i’ ▲ AI right-turn alert system ▲ robot rehabilitation devices and AI speakers ▲ smart poles.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “With today’s proclamation ceremony, Dongdaemun-gu has taken a new starting point for building a smart city. Smart city technology is a core technology that connects the city of flowers and the carbon-neutral city. We will share the vision with residents, actively discover smart city projects, and reflect them in district administration to create a sustainable smart future city.”
