Ubiquitous city
A ubiquitous city or U-city is a city or region with ubiquitous information technology. All information systems are linked, and virtually everything is linked to an information system through technologies such as wireless networking and RFID tags.

[edit] Overview
The concept has received most attention in South Korea, which is planning to build some 15 ubiquitous cities. The first U-City, Hwaseong-Dongtan U-City, has been partially completed and operated in 2007. It characterizes diverse U-Services that include U-Traffic, U-Parking, and U-Crime Prevention service. The largest of these will be in Songdo, Incheon. Future-X development in Daejeon is scheduled to open in 2009.[1]
In the United States, the first Ubiquitous city is the Manhattan Harbour project in Dayton, Kentucky. Along the banks of the Ohio River, just minutes from downtown Cincinnati, the 142-acre (0.57 km2) riverfront project will be built as a Ubiquitous city from the ground up. Currently, a division of The LG Group, LG CNS, has over 100 ubiquitous concepts to implement in the plan.
