The municipality of Seoul has launched a major project to create a digital model of its city and administration in order to offer optimised services in the metaverse. The idea is to be able to improve the daily life of inhabitants and allow anyone throughout the world to take advantage of the city's assets by immersing themselves in this virtual representation of the South Korean metropolis.
Called "Metaverse Seoul," the project concerns all areas of its municipal administration. It combines both the concept of a digital twin, which consists in recreating, in digital form, an existing infrastructure including an entire city, and virtual reality.
