Ubiquitous City or Ubiquitous Phone?
In a urban planning class that I took last semester, the professor wanted to hear the opinions of the students on the Ubiquitous City. In the discussion, some of the students doubted viability of the U-City Model in today's smart phone era.
According to the Korean Ubiquitous City Association, the u-City is a future high-tech city where IT infrastructure, technology and service are integrated into housing, economy, traffic and other facilities. The services offered by the U-City include u-Traffic, u-Home(convenient city), u-Security, u-Facility Management(safe city), u-Environment (clean city), and u-Health Care(healthy city).
These services can be grouped into two. The first group is consumer level services which are directly used by inhabitants such as u-Traffic, Home and Health Care. The other services are useful for city managers; they include u-Security, Facility Management and Environment.
