"Creating a Smart City with Citizens"... Bucheon City Recruits Living Lab Citizen Participation Group

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province is recruiting participants for the Smart City Living Lab citizen participation group until the 22nd.

The Smart City Living Lab refers to a citizen participation policy where residents directly identify problems in their local area and use smart city-related technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to solve them.

The city has been conducting a research project to establish a smart city plan since March, and operates the Smart City Living Lab to collect citizen opinions during the planning process and to discover services that citizens can experience firsthand.

Selected citizen participants will engage in various activities from August to September, including attending smart city education courses, identifying problems, planning and verifying smart city services as solutions, and participating in a total of three group workshops.

The city plans to select about 40 people aged 19 or older who are interested in smart cities, including workers and university students residing in Bucheon. Those who wish to participate can apply through the QR code on the recruitment poster.

A Bucheon city official stated, "The Living Lab is an important means of cooperation between the public and private sectors centered on citizen participation," adding, "Active participation by citizens will serve as nourishment for the growth of a better smart city."
