The urban regeneration project in Sau-dong, Gimpo City, Gyeonggi Province, has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 2026 Smart Technology Support for Everyday Urban Regeneration competition.


This project aims to improve the living environment of residents by incorporating smart technology into the ongoing urban regeneration initiative for the renovation of aging residential areas in the area of 255-1, Sau-dong (Moraemotungi Village).


The main initiatives involve the phased introduction of smart technology to address everyday issues. These include a smart parking information sharing service that provides real-time updates on parking availability in the area, a right-turn safety service that detects blind spots at intersections and notifies of potential hazards through video monitoring, and a smart media pole that integrates CCTV, lighting, and emergency bells, among other smart technologies.
