GDPC at KRIHS is currently working on a project titled “KSP-IDB [Inter-American Development Bank] Joint Consulting: Establishment of Smart City Master Plan for Lima Metropolitan City” from December 2021. On February 11, KRIHS cohosted the launching seminar for this project together with KEXIM, the project’s ordering organization. During the workshop, KRIHS, Lima City and IDB shared their opinions on the project online. Dr. Sang Keon Lee, director of GDPC and the project’s principal investigator, made a presentation about the project’s background and future promotion direction. Dr. Seol A Bang, associate research fellow at KRIHS, presented the promotion process and implications of smart cities by zeroing in on Seoul, which Lima City attempts to benchmark, and explained why the experience of Seoul can provide a model for Lima’s smart city master plan. Mauricio Bouskela, a senior specialist at the joint-execution organization of IDB, said that he is pleased to conduct joint consulting with KRIHS again and suggested working together on addressing many current problems of Central and South American countries from now on. The consulting project will resume in August 2022.
