Suwon Installs 'Smart Pagor' in Yeonmudong as Part of Smart City Urban Regeneration Project

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City announced on the 17th that it has installed 'Smart Pagor' structures at four locations in the Yeonmudong area where the 'Smart City Urban Regeneration New Deal Project' is underway.

The Smart Pagor is a rest area where citizens can relax, equipped with chairs and tables, wireless chargers powered by solar energy, and a monitoring system that displays temperature and air quality. It operates an air purification system in real-time using fine dust sensors. It can be remotely managed through an IoT (Internet of Things) system.

The city installed Smart Pagor structures at two locations along Suwoncheon Boulevard and two locations at Jjokbaksan Children's Park following multiple consultations with the Master Planner (MP), Suwon Urban Development Foundation, and urban regeneration resident councils.

The Smart Pagor located inside Jjokbaksan Children's Park is equipped with exercise equipment, allowing people to exercise while breathing clean air even on days with poor air quality.

Meanwhile, Yeonmudong was selected as a target site for the '2019 Second Half Urban Regeneration New Deal Public Call Project' led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in October 2019. The project started in 2020 and will be promoted in phases through next year.

A city official stated, "We will manage the Smart Pagor well so that it becomes a comfortable rest area for not only Yeonmudong residents but also all citizens visiting Yeonmudong."
