Smart cities, ubiquity for all
South Korea is planning a new city called "New Songdo", 40 miles away from Seoul, which aims to be the largest (and first?) ubiquitous computing urban area. All city services (water, power, telephony, traffic, etc) are planned to be linked to internet.
Since now more than half the world population live in urban areas, it's a good point to start thinking about new notions of being human on a metropolis context. Let's hope it's not just an ostentatious project with fancy propaganda.
