Songdo (Korean: 송도), officially known as Songdo International Business District (Songdo IBD), is a smart city[2] built on 600 ha (1,500 acres) of reclaimed land along Incheon's waterfront,[3] 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Seoul, South Korea. It is connected to Incheon International Airport by a 12.3 km (7.6 mi) reinforced concrete highway bridge called Incheon Bridge. Along with Yeongjong and Cheongna, it is part of the Incheon Free Economic Zone.[4]
The Songdo a smart city features amenities across the district. Homages of architectural hallmarks, including New York City's Central Park and Venice's waterways, will also be incorporated.
Many of the buildings were constructed as LEED-certified space, the green building certification by the United States Green Building Council.
