New Songdo, a "ubiquitous city"

It is located 40 miles south of Seoul and will be connected to Incheon International Airport by a 7-mile highway bridge. Songdo International Business District (IBD) is a master-planned international business center being developed on 1,500 acres of reclaimed land along Incheon's waterfront.

Songdo IBD is a Joint Venture Partnership between Gale International, one of the largest US real estate developers, and POSCO E&C, a subsidiary of POSCO Steel, the 2nd largest steel company in the world. It represents the first project of its kind between a US developer and a Korean company. This project is estimated to cost in excess of $20 billion, making it the largest private development project ever undertaken anywhere in the world.

New Songo will equipped with a $297 million RFID research center when completed in 2014, and its 65,000 residents will all have homes with electronic locks, integrated videoconferencing, VoD, and unified systems and services down to details like each resident having a non-identity linked smartcard that transacts purchases, grants entry to mass transit, parking, and opens your front door at the end of the day.

Helsinki University of Art and Design is located in Arabianranta. In association with Hackman factory complex, it is to form the core for proposed Finnish Industrial Art and Design Centre in the area. In the near future, Faculty of Science of the University of Helsinki (and the geography department with it) will move to nearby Kumpula area, and city planners have drawn on their maps a 'science-art axis' reaching from the central University campus in the downtown via Kumpula and Arabianranta to Viikki, where the new centre of biosciences is located. Arabianranta will also offer to its future residents an impressive view over Vanhankaupunginlahti bay. On the other side of the bay there is a bird conservation area and further away the fields of Viikki biocentre. This provides the residents an almost rural landscape. Besides residential and commercial blocks, also green space will be created into the area. The so-called shoreline park will fringe the built areas and provide an open seashore.

Milla Digital is a basic project of Zaragoza City Council to help companies, institutions and citizens position themselves to form part of the economic and social means of the 21st century. Milla Digital will make use of the spaces of both the areas developed to configure a City of Innovation and Knowledge, where housing, companies and facilities will exist together under a common orientation fully engaged in knowledge-intensive activities, an urban development of great quality and advanced telecommunications infrastructures which both the residents and the businesses located in the Milla will benefit from.

3-Improving city’s infrastructures and utilities

Stockholm, Sweden The Stokab model

The Stokab ICTmodel — A success story Key to Stockholm’s success has been the ICT model established in the capital where one out of every eleven Swedes lives. In the early 1990s, Sweden liberalized the market for telecommunication services. In order to sustain strong competition, the Stockholm government decided to build a network, which would be open to all on an equal basis. To support the operations of both the public and private sectors — as well as to offer better opportunities to individual citizens — the Stockholm government set up a company called Stokab in 1994 to build a fibre-optic network throughout the municipality as a level playing field for all operators. Today, the 1.2 million kilometre network has more than 90 operators and 450 enterprises as primary customers. The Stokab infrastructure is used by the city’s administration and by 100 000 students and schoolchildren in the Stockholm area. Online services for all The city now provides an impressive list of online services. For example, citizens can follow City Council meetings online and view the associated documents. Applications can be made for parking permits. Couples can make an appointment for a wedding ceremony at City Hall — and nine out of ten couples now do so via the web. Among parents, the same percentage applies online for a child’s place at a kindergarten. It is also possible for family members to view information about the city’s care for elderly people. The online system saves money by managing municipal operations at all levels, and by automating routine administrative tasks while fostering collaboration among agencies and the savings made allow each project to be self-financing.
