Meanwhile, Seocho-gu is the only autonomous district in Seoul to hold both domestic and international smart city certifications by promoting smart city projects. It has obtained the highest grade "Level 4" international smart city standard certification from the British Standards Institution (BSI), the highest among local governments nationwide, and has also received domestic smart city certification from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
