Jong-Sung Hwang, Master Planner of the Smart City of Busan will illustrate how these key ideas are realized and which challenges they face in the process of designing. In addition we will look at the experiences South Korea has had with COVID-19 and previously with the epidemics MERS and SARS, and how this has led to more digitalisation of the cities.
