Namyangju to Promote Construction of Advanced Smart City Integrated Center in Wangsuk New Town
Namyangju City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Joo Kwangdeok) announced on August 25 that, after continuous negotiations, it has secured an agreement for Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to cover the full cost of constructing the Smart City Integrated Center.
The smart city construction project aims to plan and build intelligent urban infrastructure by utilizing big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), with the goal of enhancing the overall efficiency and safety of citizens' daily lives.
The Smart City Integrated Center will serve as a control tower for efficiently integrating, operating, and managing the infrastructure of smart city construction sites led by LH, including the 3rd phase new towns (Wangsuk 1 and 2 districts), Jinjeop 2 district, and the Yangjeong Station area.
To ensure efficient budget use, the new integrated center will be established as a multi-purpose living SOC facility within the central library building in Wangsuk 1 district. In addition, to prepare for various safety incidents such as traffic accidents, disasters, and fires, a safety experience center utilizing advanced technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will also be operated.
Furthermore, the city has reduced its financial burden by ensuring that LH will bear the entire project cost. This achievement is the result of long-standing negotiations and coordination, and it is a rare case nationwide for LH to cover the full project cost.
As a result, the city has both established a future-oriented urban foundation and achieved fiscal soundness.
