Futuristic utopia (World 2017, by Stéphanie Buret) - Swiss Press Award

In Central Park of Songdo. Songdo is the new Smart City, the new dream City of the Future. An Utopia. / Scène de vie à Central Park. A Songdo, il y a des répliques de certains lieux mythiques occidentaux, comme Central Park et les canaux de Venise. La ville fait d'ailleurs souvent office de décor de tournage ou de clip de promotion. Elle semble être la nouvelle vitrine du pays. Une ville propre et ultra-sécurisée. La ville idéale ou une utopie?

Futuristic utopia

Stéphanie Buret

Pictures from the South Korean planned city Songdo City, taken end of July 2016. The town is still under construction and is intended to embody the future of urban living: residing in high rises (129), lots of green spaces and minimal traffic (128, 131), educational institutions, such as its own university (132) – and, above all, a network of complete digital interconnection and surveillance (130). Residents are willing to pay this price for high levels of safety.
