Songdo in Korea is considered one of the world’s “smartest cities”. The city was built on reclaimed land, and LG CNS developed the city’s smart-city platform. Dex and I met with LG in Korea to learn more about their platform and explore potential partnerships for our HarborX project.

I like how they presented the design and build evolution every year.
This could be Songdo’s central park.
All reclaimed land.
This room reminded me of the Arte Museum in Las Vegas. LG manufactured these micro-OLED tiles that one can use to build digital walls.
