ㅇ According to the
United Nations, the world population is forecast to increase from the current
population of 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050, and the rapid urbanization will
attract more than 2.5 billion people to cities.
ㅇ In cities where many people live together in a limited land, various problems began to arise in residential, environment, and transportation. In order to solve these problems, Korea has pushed for smart city policies from an early stage. Smart City began to be introduced as a downtown renewal solution to the urban problems caused by overpopulation, and now it is receiving worldwide attention as a future city model to live in the future.
ㅇ The global smart cities market is expected to continue to grow and reach $2 trillion by 2025. In Korea, the market is project to expand to 151 trillion won by 2021.
ㅇ In particular, Smart City has been selected as the central policy of the Korean New Deal Policy, which the government is willing to promote for the era after the COVID-19 crisis, and it is expected that the industry will develop significantly in Korea in the future. Accordingly, the World Smart City Expo is designed to improve global competitiveness by creating and spreading practical outcomes of the smart city policies. For citizens, it will be an opportunity to experience smart city in person.
ㅇ Especially, this 2020 World Smart City Expo will live stream on YouTube and you will be able to enjoy a variety of programs and check out the current status as well as the future of Smart City wherever you are.
