(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Min-jae = Incheon City will utilize open artificial intelligence (AI) urban technologies for large-scale residential district maintenance in areas developed during the 1980s-1990s.
On the 22nd, the city announced that it signed a “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Introduction of Citizen-Empowered Advanced Future City Services for Aging Planned Cities” with LG CNS.
Through this agreement, LG CNS’s services of AI Transformation (AX), Robot Transformation (RX), and Virtual Transformation (VX) will be integrated into Incheon’s aging planned city maintenance project.
An aging planned city is a region designated as a special maintenance target under the “Special Act on Maintenance and Support for Aging Planned Cities” enacted in April last year, among large-scale residential areas over 1 million square meters that were developed over 20 years ago.
In Incheon, there are five such areas: Yeonsu District (6.21 million square meters, developed in 1994), Guwol District (1.26 million square meters, 1991), Gyesan District (1.61 million square meters, 1998), and the districts of Bupyeong (1988), Galsan (1992), and Bugae (1999), totaling 1.61 million square meters, as well as Mansu 1 (1988), Mansu 2 (1991), and Mansu 3 (1992) districts, covering 1.45 million square meters.
By the end of this year, the city plans to specify areas of collaboration and demonstration sites for AX, RX, and VX, and will prepare a basic plan. After going through related procedures such as resident inspections and reviews by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, the city aims to confirm and announce the basic plan for maintaining aging planned cities by March next year.
Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok stated, “By utilizing digital transformation technologies such as AX, RX, and VX, we will ensure that the privately led aging planned city maintenance project leads to innovations that residents can truly feel.”
