Mr. Lee stated that two cities in Korea, Songdo and Busan, have already designated their cities as “Smart Cities”.

 

Both cities include traffic and transportation management systems, the use of clean energy such as wind and sunlight, flood protection systems, burying electric cables, and preserving the city’s environment, all in accordance with the Korean government’s policy – much of which is similar to the plans put forward to develop Hua Hin into a ‘smart city’.
