  • Smart City, Smart Residents: Seoul's
    While a city’s extensive ICT infrastructure can be a key factor in establishing it as a Smart City, the citizens as users will be the driving force behind the city’s shift to the “Smart” paradigm. CLC researchers Zhou Yimin, May Ee Wong and Koo A Mi discuss how Seoul, under Mayor Park Won-soon, has continued to transform itself into a Smart City by putting citizens at the core of the Smart City development process. Elected in 2011, Mayor Park has taken a consultative approach to governance.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BUS 2. New Fare System SYSTEM REFORM i. iNTRODUCTiON Throughout the 1990s, Seoul faced demographic changes that created new transportation demands that the city could no longer respond to. These changes in transportation patterns increased private car use, unorganized bus transportation routes, and travel across longer distances. Buses were once the most widely used mode of transportation, but demographic changes devastated the service. The transportation system was in chaos and urgently needed reform. The traditional method of piecemeal approaches for the bus system reform no longer worked, as evident in the mid-1990s in Korea. Innovative and intensive reorganization strategies, rather than fragmented approaches, were necessary. The Public Transportation Reform is a major step towards sustainable mobility. The key of its success lies in its integrated approach combining organizational measures, innovative technology, infrastructure development, and transport operation. Seoul is one of the rare cities to have implemented such comprehensive reform, in such a short period of time, and working simultaneously * Senior Research Fellow, Director, Department of Urban Transit,

This political eruption which exhibited South Korea many novel and unexpected elements cannot be explained by pointing to basic political conditions in Candlelight protests South Korea (strong labor unions, democratization, and so forth). Neither does the putative reason for Neoliberalism them e to protest the new President’s decision to reopen South Korea’s beef market to the U.S. e Hegemony Geography of social movements adequately explain the social dynamics at play. In this paper, we examine the political geography of the ‘candlelight protests’ (as they came to be known), focusing in particular on their novel aspects: the subjectivities of the protesters, fierce ideological struggles, and differentiated geography. We argue that the deepening of neoliberal restructuring by the new conservative regime formed the underlying causes of these intense conflicts. In other words, the new protests should be seen as a response to the reinforced contradictions engendered by neoliberalization and a new alignment of social groups against the pre- vailing hegemonic conditions in South Korea. In this view, the huge demonstrations revealed vulnera- bilities in conservative hegemony but failed to produce a different hegemony.
