Siheung Smart Hub: Korea's top 3 industrial complexes for small and medium-sized enterprises
The Siheung Smart Hub, where small and medium-sized enterprises congregate, is striving to realize a superior urban environment. With national industrial complex designation, it comprises three such complexes where small and medium-sized enterprises related to components and manufacturing have converged.
Siheung City responds immediately to environmental pollution
The Siheung Smart Hub, as a place where industrial complexes are concentrated, is also endeavoring to prevent environmental pollution. In the first half of 2022, the Siheung Smart Hub inspected half of its 656 odor-emitting enterprises in order to ensure an odor-free environment.
Noxious odor situations are subject to real-time resident monitoring and reporting, and evaluated step by step in terms of odor intensity. Through the various monitoring activities undertaken by the Siheung Smart Hub to prevent pollution, complaints and resident reports about odors decreased significantly in the first half of the year.

Private environmental monitors perform surveillance activities in the form of civic participation; when they receive an odor complaint, public officials and monitors are immediately dispatched in response. In the summer, when odors intensify, a 24-hour monitoring system is in operation.
Efforts are being made to improve odors through practical means, such as monitoring pollutant emissions, addressing odor sources, and funding facility improvement. Related subsidies are also increasing every year, and many small and medium-sized enterprises are taking the lead in improving the environment through such support.
Smart Hub attracts attention in real estate market.
The popularity of the Knowledge Industry Center in the Siheung Smart Hub is increasing. Fixed demand is also on the rise because smart factories and industrial complexes have congregated here.

The Siheung Smart Hub is expanding the supply of smart factory sites through to this year and developing an associated manufacturing supply base. As part of the area has been designated as a rehabilitation business district, plans such as those for improving and maintaining existing older facilities are also being implemented.
Siheung City also announced plans for smart city development. This is the purpose of establishing a foundation for a "safe and convenient city" beyond the creation of an industrial complex.
The Siheung-type smart city aims to be a sustainable city where everyone enjoys the related benefits and quality of life is enhanced for residents.
Plans for a civic participation living lab that gathers relevant knowledge and opinions for integration into policies are also being made. In addition, living management activities, such as maintaining children's commuting routes and preventing crime, are also being pursued.
