The fast growing ubiquitous infrastructure technologies are capable of improving current urban management and infrastructure planning and development potentials. These technological advancement urban infrastructure developments have recently invented a new paradigm of intelligent infrastructure provision in South Korea. This new paradigm, so called ubiquitous infrastructure, is a combination of urban infrastructures, information and communication technologies and digital networks. Ubiquitous infrastructure refers to an urban infrastructure system where anyone can access any services regardless of time and location via any devices. This presentation introduces these new schemes via ubiquitous based infrastructure engineering projects in South Korea and discusses the constructive effects of these projects on Korean cities to achieve sustainable urban development. |
