Songdo International City
I have a long history supporting Songdo, an urban business community on the West Coast of South Kore
I recall an early visit to Incheon and what would be Songdo and looking out at acres of land reclaimed from the sea. Over time buildings, parks, and infrastructure soon emerged from the sand. The photo was a view from my Songdo office in 2018.
Stepping back some… the community, now called Songdo International City, was developed with Western amenities and covers roughly 1500 Acres complete with a Central Park, an international school, and a Jack Nichols-designed golf course–all within a short distance of the Incheon shipping port and the international airport.
It was also an early adopter of buildings with LEED certification, which provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. Plus, Songdo was seen as a frontrunner as a Smart City innovator. Today, it is one of 3 districts of the Incheon Free Economic Zone and home to the Incheon Global Campus.
Today, I am happy to continue to share and highlight Songdo
