The document discusses smart city planning in South Korea in the era of post-COVID 19. It provides an overview of Korea's response to COVID-19, what constitutes a smart city in Korea, how smart city systems and technologies supported Korea's COVID-19 response, and considerations for smart city planning in the future post-pandemic. Some key points include how COVID-19 tracking systems leveraged existing smart city data hubs; concerns about public surveillance during outbreaks; the potential impacts of COVID-19 on urban planning like increased suburbanization and demand for alternate transport. The document also outlines approaches for data-driven, socially distant smart city planning going forward.

§ Social Distancing
[Street] [Public transit] [Indoor] [Outdoor]

25. COVID-19 with Smart City
§ Change of Urban Policy
• Social distancing and change of urban planning & density policy
• Distributed concentration
• Boom of Suburbanization
• Density of public transportation passenger
• Importance of pedestrian in the urban street
• More importance on defensible space(Oscar newman)
• Mixed Land use and change of urban management policy
• Depression of commercial use such as restaurant and shops -> decreasing such land use
• Online e-commerce -> Increase of logistics
• Telecommuting & Online class
• More demand on personal car use and personal mobility(i.e. e-scooter)
-> Adopting innovative smart management solution
-> New design guideline of urban space according to new space and facility demand

26. COVID-19 with Smart City
§ Smart City Planning
• Social distancing and change of urban planning & density policy
• Distributed concentration
• Boom of Suburbanization
• Density of public transportation passenger -> feasibility of operation
• Importance of pedestrian in the urban street
• More importance on defensible space(Oscar newman)
• Mixed Land use and change of urban management policy
• Depression of commercial use such as restaurant and shops -> decreasing such land use
• Online e-commerce -> Increase of logistics
• Telecommuting & Online class -> ICT infrastructure
• More demand on personal car use and personal mobility(i.e. e-scooter)
-> Adopting Smart city solutions and investment on ICT infrastructure
-> Planning Support based on big data and AI

27. New Urbanism
• Compact city
• Mixed Use Development
• Transit Oriented Development
Tactical Urbanism
• Small-scale, quick and affordable
change can generate a large impact
• Experience a new project before
permanent changes are implemented
Post COVID-19 Urbanism
• Focus on access to core services
• Affordable housing and public spaces
• Integrated green and blue spaces
• Increased city-regional planning
• More city level, granular data
