Case Study: Sejong City achieves world-leading smart city status with BSI

Sejong City targets 500,000 residents by 2030 with BSI

Sejong City faced the challenge of rebalancing South Korea's urban population by mitigating overcrowding and pollution in Seoul. Their goal was to establish a new, sustainable administrative capital. To achieve this, they worked with vendor BSI and utilized its Smart Cities and Communities Kitemark, a certification based on ISO 37102.

BSI's solution provided a framework for sustainable development and resilience, helping Sejong City transform into a world-leading smart city. The results included an improved reputation, reduced risks to public services, and the technological support needed to function as the nation's administrative capital. This achievement put the city on a path of continuous improvement, with an expectation to attract 500,000 residents by 2030.
