Abstract

© 2018 SERSC Australia. The population that currently resides in cities throughout the world accounts for more than 50% of world's population due to rapid global urbanization since the 19th century, causing many serious urban problems, including lack of residential facilities and urban infrastructure, traffic congestion and environmental destruction. Due to continuous advancement of communication technologies since the 20th century, the world trend of industrial technologies encountered a turning point from the 3rd industrial revolution to the 4th industrial revolution. As results of such periodic transitions, the smart city, which is intended to solve urban issues intelligently, has appeared. At the same time, smart technologies, such as ICT, IoT, Big Data, and data-crowding, all of which are considered technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, are being integrated with the urban infrastructure. In this study, the standards for unique smart city components were set by as follows. First, the cases regarding the overseas trend of the smart city appearing after the 2000s by year were classified. Second, precedent studies regarding the smart city were analyzed. Then, the development aspects of the smart city were considered and studied by analyzing the trend cases of the smart city accordingly. The purpose of this study is to recognize that the smart city is an alternative city for today and the future and to establish fundamental research data for understanding the smart city.
