| Success | I think the elasticity of technology and the acceptability and efficacy of residents of ICT technology applied to intelligent cities are high (academia). |
| Korea’s diverse set of success factors (level and speed of technological development of the 4IR in Korea, citizens’ desire for a citizen-centered city, government drive, active participation of private operators) (academia). |
| Since Korea already has a lot of experience in promoting SCs (U-City, etc.), chances of success are high (academia). |
| I think it will be successful because of the business feasibility based on cooperation between the private and public sectors. It is judged that the results of SC policies that differ from the previous ones can be produced. This national demonstration city will be the center of services felt by citizens in that consumer-centered services will be introduced through private participation with profitability in mind (industry). |
| Local government representatives have high leadership and interest and are actively promoting it by establishing a dedicated organization for SCs to connect the private sector and the administration (industry). |
| Failure | It was wrong for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to be in charge of the main ministry promoting SCs. As in the case of the United Kingdom, it should have been promoted in connection with the local economy through the establishment of SPC. In addition, the method of ritualizing technology standards and evaluating technology through private consultative bodies is a global trend. The central government and local governments should focus on budget and administrative support, and on post-evaluation and audit (academia). |
| SCs are likely to fail like U-City. However, the U-City and other technical keys lie in the data. It is the sum of the data of non-purposes rather than the value-based purposefully fit data. Eventually, SCs will partially absorb the development of technologies and services in verified markets such as transportation, medical care, and education into the public sector (industry). |
| Still, cities are focused on the latest facilities and infrastructure, and the intelligence of urban operating systems is rarely considered. It is unclear who should draw the blueprint for the SCs, and it is difficult to expect a challenging and experimental SCs in a situation where the responsibility has been handed over to the private-centered SPC (academia). |
| Even if it goes well, it will not be satisfied with the concept of SCs in the future. All of them are organized at the level of listing services by detailed fields such as mobility, health care, education, energy, and cultural shopping, and the concept of an SC is not an immutable concept, as a continuous reinterpretation of it is necessary (research). |
| For the success of SCs, factors of various dimensions must be promoted smoothly, but currently, two national demonstration cities are facing various constraints. Since these problems require long-term improvement in terms of technology, policy, legal, and environmental aspects, it is expected that the two national demonstration cities in 2030 will be difficult to implement properly as intelligent cities (research). |
| Pending | SCs are just starting construction, and it is too early to judge success or failure. I think it will be possible to evaluate it to a limited degree of success if it focuses on what has been promoted so far. If the achievement is successfully carried out as planned, it can be an intelligent city implementation (research). |
| It is practically impossible to build urban infrastructure to move in residents within the government’s term. However, it is expected that intelligent cities will gradually form and become “new towns” in 2030, and SC policies can produce tangible results (academia). |
