@@chriswinston1223 I agree with you for the most part, although I personally like Le Corbusier's work. Yes, I am bit of a brutalist architecture but.

Hi Wayde, thank you for great video! I am so glad to see my hometown where I live now. No related videos are like this, which means this video is super well made! As a resident here in songdo for last 8 years, I learend a lot in more detailed perspective. Two thumbs up for you !!

The whole point of an economically free zone is to actually be economically free, allow this city to pay just 1 single tax (can be federal income or federal corporate) and then exempt it from the rest of the taxes, most importantly, make sure you fully abolish the property taxes on this city, if you do that A LOT OF PEOPLE will move there, making city-wide projects much more feasible. Why would anyone go to Songdo if the taxes aren't that much lower and there's much less job opportunity? if make this a small spot in the country where there's only 1 single tax and it ain't a property tax, then this city will absolutely boom.
Farming and music! Sounds good to me Wade. It beats sitting in your room watching your “smart” phones and monitors worrying if one of those guerillas is going to steal your car. Looking forward to your nexr vid!
Haha definitely! What's interesting is that the gardeners are the "high-tech" class of people who moved in. This is one of the things that I love most about top down development: people are going to be people no matter what and you can't engineer them to be what you want to be.
I've been looking some good reads on how modern cities are built from scratch. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. This doc is amazing btw. Information about subjects like this seem to be suppressed in the States.
It sucks the average person cannot live there. The city is very expensive to live in and only people with money and power are privileged to live there.
This is a classic argument against new development or redevelopment. But you must realize that to create something new is expensive and without a profit it can’t be done. The alternative is to do nothing. Leave cities to decay for fear of gentrification and no new expensive developments for fear of showing disparity of class. City Stagnation in order to stop change Out of jealousy At the cost of economic development, jobs. A rising tide lifts all and a shining city is something to aspire to.
Keep positive guys. The infrastructure is already there. When businesses move in things will get better. I am not as sceptic as some of the outsiders in the video. For everyone who moved in, you are a trend setter being part of creating the city's culture and history. I wish the government planned first to introduce migration (e.g. factory to start) and then build the infrastructure gradually expanding to full scale. It appears they have done the other way around. This is just my view. Asian and African efforts are always down played. Writing books founded on sceptical views about ghost cities has given livelihood to few authors and I don't know what they would have become without those. Nothing beyond.
the modern building is the history of old buildings through technology. the new style building will become an old-style building one day. people's minds also change through the years. the final goal of society is al least crimes or no crime. cctv will help the goals.
High-density development to save the world, man haha. They kind of look like normal old high-rise complexes but many are surprisingly mixed-use and are open to the streets. Not the typical gated communities.
Too dependent on machines are they not - have you traveled to abandoned cities in Africa - like Mozambique ? It might make an interesting comparison. www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2016/may/05/mozambique-abandoned-grande-hotel-beira-squatters-ruins-in-pictures
That's a little misleading due to the sudden wealth boom that came from the discovery of massive coal reserves. Things have normalized a little there now ... especially as the price of coal imploded in China.

Well, I guess its the trend these days, but would you really live there or are you just messenger? I’m in Saigon and they are building “smart” neighborhoods. And interestingly enough, the ex-pats are mostly from Korea who live there. But is there a place for Po’ folks in these smart cities? And its funny they refer to vegetable growers as some kind of terrorists/guerilla gardeners.
I guess I wouldn't mind living there if I wanted to actually stay somewhere For a while. Po' folks in smart cities? No, not really. Most big new cities are made for the middle class and wealthy. "Guerilla gardening" is just a term for farming on unused land without permission. Nobody really seems to care too much about it in Songdo. I just thought it was interesting how the city has all of these smart technologies and all that but all the people who live there really want to do is just play music and farm.
In a perfect world where the governments and companies who control this smart technology really have the public's best interests in mind, yes, who cares. But we don't live in that world. Look at how China is employing smart technologies in Tibet and Xinjiang ... it's not all about crime prevention. Also, as the 20th century demonstrated pretty well, it's difficult to predict the kinds of governments that will come -- even to relatively modern, educated, cosmopolitan countries. Once this technology is deployed and accepted there is no turning back. Although this is a moot discussion as it is already being deployed all over the world already. In Asia it's marketed as being something good for the public. In the west it's done more quietly. The time for having the discussion of whether we want this or not was ten years ago. It's too late now.

A new city. In Korea. Without a subway system. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. This city is a car-centric disaster. A modern monstrosity, not built to human scale.
Nice documentary! Btw, where are the low income people are going to live anyway? I mean, look at Matt Damon Downsizing movie where there will be a slum neighborhood. Is this not addressed since inception? Are these low income people not worthy enough to live there too? Such inequality :(
New urban developments for the working classes rarely come up on the radar of the international media, although they are being built in many places -- they just aren't as fancy. Songdo was built to be South Korea's international city, so it was always designed to be for foreigners -- many of which work for international companies and have $$$. However, the cost for housing in Songdo is relatively reasonable -- way cheaper than many parts of Seoul.
How green can it be if you took from the ocean to build it? Cities without regular quick access to Seoul will not attract Korean’s. It’s all about Seoul. Why not build 200K apartments there instead? Why not drop the prices?
It's about proximity to the airport for people who don't want to haul themselves in and out of one of the world's biggest cities every time they want to go somewhere ... and for the people who work at the companies who move there. Part of the problem in a lot of countries is that they have one city that gets so big and creates such a gravitational force (i.e. extreme amount of competition for resources and high prices) that it becomes difficult to develop other places and extract additional economic potential. There are a lot of people / companies who are priced out of Seoul that could flourish elsewhere. That's one reason why these intentional cities are being built.
You better move to Baghdad and live there permanently. I'm sure you'll find a lot history. Let us live in the cities like Songdo, Singapore, Dubai, Monaco etc. We don't have fucking time to give two flying shits to human history.
