[Interview] Smart city expert unimpressed with Songdo
November 14, 2019
Interesting spin on our conversation with an eyebrow raising title. Some of the vocabulary used throughout the article makes Cha out to be hot headed about there not being enough radical change or improvement in Korea's goals for carbon neutrality. Our world is at stake, this is the time to do more with less! Be sustainable socially, economically, and economically!

OUR SHARED VISION
for a sustainable future
Re-Imagining Cities Foundation is a non profit organization based in Seoul, Korea. Our primary objectives are to accelerate the build out of "smart & greener" cities and districts around the world in alignment with the smart city objectives of our cities.
The trend for cities to become “smarter” is already established as evidenced by hundreds of initiatives around the world. However, with scarce allocation of human and capital resources, how can cities compete to attract global talent, drive economic development and improve the quality of life for its citizens in a sustainable way?
Our mission focus is to find attractive sites in major cities around the world, working closely together with local developers and global experts, to showcase "smart, sustainable future city districts" at attractive investment returns. By linking attractive investment returns, we can motivate the private sector (namely, real estate developers and investors) into smart cities investments ... to reimagine our cities in our age of rapid urbanization for the mutual benefits of the people, planet and profit.
