Abstract
While their smart city approaches are extremely different with respect to
motivation, policy instruments, and technology deployment, South Korea
and Denmark have equally benefited during the COVID-19 pandemic from
their advanced digital pole positions and taken strong government actions to
fight the spread of the virus. Denmark has used smart work as one of its key
instruments, while Korea has used tracing and surveillance technology to
ensure citizens remain in isolation. This paper suggests that the smart city will
be a vital part of the political agenda of safety, sustainability, and resiliency
in the coming years. Also, the paper suggest that more focus is attributed to
smart cities’ agile component to supplement the often long term strategic
focus of smart cities.
