  Seoul Selects 13 Life-enhancing SOC Projects 08/05/2019 As Seoul pursues the “10-minute Neighborhood Life-enhancing SOC Project” through which convenience facilities located within a ten-minute walk of old low-rise houses will be expanded, the city has decided on a final list of which life-enhancing SOC facilities will be established in 13 model autonomous districts as the first step of the project. The “10-minute Neighborhood SOC Life-enhancing Project” is an urban restoration project targeting each neighborhood to provide life-enhancing facilities closely related to the lives of ordinary citizens, such as small libraries, daycare centers, seniors welfare centers, welfare centers for adolescents/children, culture and sports centers, parks, and parking lots, that are located within a five- to ten-minute walk (250-500 m) of old low-rise housing structures. The city of Seoul has plans to supply over 180 facilities throughout the city by 2022. Seoul city aims to supply life-enhancing facilities that can be well used by the residents of old low-rise residential areas that have relatively poorer life-enhancing facilities compared to large apartment complexes. In addition, the city has goals of creating livable residential areas, ameliorating old houses, and providing high-quality, low-cost residential structures by building such facilities. The 13 facilities that will be established in each autonomous district are ▴ three parking lots (Yongsan-gu, Yangcheon-gu, Gangseo-gu), ▴ three small libraries (Gwangjin-gu, Jungnang-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu), ▴ four culture and sports centers (Gangbuk-gu, Jongno-gu, Guro-gu, Gangdong-gu), ▴ two adolescents & children welfare centers (Gwanak-gu, Seongbuk-gu), and ▴ one daycare center (Eunpyeong-gu). < 2019 10-minute Neighborhood Life-enhancing SOC Project > SOC Projects Autonomous Districts Project Title SOC Facility Project Purpose Type Facility in Detail Gwanak-gu Project to Build a Culture Center for Adolescents/Children near Nanhyang Elementary School Care Educational & cultural space for adolescents/children After building the culture center, a culture experience program for adolescents will be operated together with Nanhyang Elementary School.

  Seoul Makes Magok a Smart City Testbed 07/26/2019 As the city of Seoul is trying to make Magok District a smart city testbed where residents, experts, and companies solve urban issues by experimenting and implementing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the city has selected five “Magok Smart City Living Lab” projects to finalize the trial. Companies will develop the new technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution while residents and experts, who will be the users, will participate in the project to experiment and implement the technologies. For each project, support of KRW 100 million will be offered. The five projects are ▴“Convenient City for the Visually Impaired” to develop an app for helping the visually impaired walk and purchase goods conveniently, ▴“Residential Participatory Magok Smart City Smell Community Mapping” to make a map of smell data in the district, ▴ “Fire Recognition System of Magok Residential Area Using Digital Twin Technology Based on Living Lab” to develop an app to detect fires in apartments, ▴“Outdoor Delivery in Magok Industrial Complex Using Robot Platform Based on Automatic Driving” to implement a delivery service run by automatic driving robots, and ▴“Study on Smart City-type IoT Personal Transportation Based on Station” to install stations exclusively for electric scooters. First, the Smart Order Application will be developed, with which the visually impaired can easily visit stores and purchase goods. The app will be equipped with a navigation function for the visually impaired so that it can guide him/her with information on the location, entrance, etc. of stores and inform him/her of the menus at restaurants. He or she can also make payment by having his or her biometric trait read on the app. Second, residents will measure and collect the smells on every corner of Magok District by carrying a smell measuring instrument to make an online map with the data. The collected information will be used to search for a solution to tackle any offensive odors in the region with the help of AI analysis. Third, an app will be developed to detect fires in apartments through real-time observation of temperature changes. The digital twin-based, three-dimensional city model will be constructed on which the information, such as temperature and more, will be added through the sensors installed throughout apartments, which enables the real-time situation to be checked through the app. Fourth, the technology through which robots can deliver food to customers will be verified, in order to develop the service in which the automatic driving robots can be utilized in various ways. The stations to charge electric scooters will be established. Additionally, the city will support the short distance travel of residents by setting forth safety driving rules after collecting data, including the driving environments, travel routes, and more, by installing IoT sensors on the scooters. The companies to implement the five Smart City Living Lab projects will run the projects together with residents and experts for about six months using Magok District as a testbed. The outcome will be shared in December 2019 at a briefing session.

  Mayor Park Won-soon Declares People-Focused Bike Revolution to Establish “Bicycle Highways” (CRT) Stretching in All Directions 07/18/2019   The city of Seoul announced that it will be adopting a “New Pedestrian-friendly Strategy” to reverse the old formula for designing and establishing roads and transportation of the industrial generation in which first, space for roadways was secured and then, sidewalks were constructed once space became available. The city will now prioritize pedestrians and bikes, and then eco-friendly vehicles for the future such as shared cars and electric wheelchairs, followed by parking lanes and parks, and lastly space for roadways. On July 14 (Sun.) at 2 p.m. (local time), Seoul’s Mayor Park Won-soon, who is currently on a tour of Central and South America, visited Ciclovia in Bogota, Colombia, the world’s largest car-free zone that has been in operation since 1982. He declared the “Human-focused Bike Revolution” for Seoul and said he will establish bicycle highways (Cycle Rapid Transportation, CRT) stretching in all directions of Seoul. The construction of CRT through revolutionary spatial usage is an idea that involves installing bike-only lanes where bikes can be ridden safely, quickly, and comfortably in a space that is separated from the roadway. If existing bike lanes, partial areas beside the roadway, are judged to be unstable, the biggest difference of CRT is that it will be a bike-only zone that is physically separate from pedestrians and cars. In line with Seoul’s philosophy of transportation, the “people-focused street,” and the characteristics of the city’s structures, various types of CRT will be pursued, including a canopy-type CRT that can be built through the innovative use of the surface structures and overpasses, a tube-type CRT, a green carpet-type CRT that can function as green spaces in urban areas, and more. <Conceptual Diagram of Cycle Rapid Transportation (CRT)> The bike lanes that had the same height as the roadways will now be physically separated from the roadway to secure a safe and comfortable space for bicycle riders. Themed bike lane networks will be established using the bridges over the Hangang River and special bike zones will be built in five different spheres of life. In association with various development projects, a total of 72 km of bike lanes will be established (over 40% bike lane ratio) and a large number of Ttareungyi rental stations will be installed to facilitate the use of bikes between residential zones, office zones, and subway stations. Ttareungyi has become a widely used mode of transportation, as its rental number has reached over 22.35 million over the past four years following its launch. Its services will be ameliorated in preparation for 2020, the year in which 40,000 Ttareungyi will be in service. 1,000 electronic Ttareungyi will be introduced for residents who live in hilly areas. The connection with public transportation will be reinforced through the construction of large-scale Ttareungyi stations near the subway stations that demonstrate a great demand for bikes. Additionally, car-free streets will be expanded. If a car-free street was operated on a roadway in the form of “lines,” it will now be operated in the form of “surfaces” under the title of “Car-free Zone” in areas such as Itaewon’s special tourist area and Namdaemun Market in which there is a high population of pedestrians including tourists and shoppers. Mayor Park Won-soon said, “Over the past eight years, Seoul’s policy has been centered around people. We will now employ the New Pedestrian-friendly Strategy to reorganize Seoul’s traffic system to be centered around pedestrians, bicycles, and public transportation under the principle, ‘The right of mobility is a basic, civil right.’ This will be done in order to improve transportation, which is just as important as food, clothing, and shelter for our residents’ lives… Focusing on the CRT that runs in all directions throughout the city, we will lead the bike revolution for each and every one of our citizens. We will make Seoul an exemplary model as a haven for bike riders, a city in which people feel comfortable, and a sustainable city to reduce particulate matter and tackle climate change.” http://english.seoul.go.kr/mayor-park-won-soon-declares-people-focused-bike-revolution-to-establish-bicycle-highways/?cp=2&cat=29
