Preliminary briefing session for support program call held on April 6

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it is accepting applications from local governments nationwide from March 27 to May 2 for support in establishing master plans for themed specialized complexes in accordance with the smart city promotion strategy.

The Smart City “Theme-based Specialized Complex Support Project” is a program that supports the establishment of master plans to improve living conveniences such as transportation, energy, and security by applying various smart services to existing urban areas, and to promote the strengthening of the region’s unique industrial and cultural competitiveness.

The plan is to ensure that services with high tangible impact are prioritized by having local residents directly participate in the master plan development process to reflect the service demands of the region. Local governments selected for support through the open call will receive expert consulting along with funding for the master plan development costs.

All local governments are eligible to apply for this open call. If necessary, proposals for collaboration between two or more local governments are also permitted. The final four recipients will be selected by an evaluation committee composed primarily of private sector experts, based on a comprehensive evaluation of written and presentation assessments.

In addition, a preliminary briefing session to help understand the call for proposals and implementation direction of the support project will be held at the LH Daejeon-Chungnam Regional Headquarters on April 6. Local governments interested in participating can download the application form from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport website and submit it to the Smart City Development Department of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation by May 2.

Lee Jeong-hee, Head of the Urban Economy Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, "This support project will serve as an important opportunity to transform existing urban areas into smart cities tailored to their spatial characteristics, and we plan to create various best practices by promoting the theme-based specialized complex support project for a total of 12 local governments by 2020."
