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.
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 Songdo, constructed on reclaimed land (land reclamation) off the coast of Incheon. Songdo, or New Songdo City, is now expected to open in 2015 instead of the original goal of 2014. The smaller Future-X development in Daejeon is scheduled to open in 2009.[1]
