Department of Smart City Planning and Real Estate, Kyung Hee University With the emergence of a new paradigm brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the need for interdisciplinary research that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and big data-based smart technologies across various academic fields is becoming increasingly emphasized.

In response to this paradigm shift, practical disciplines such as urban planning and real estate are also expanding their scope to include convergence research utilizing AI and big data. As urban and real estate big data continue to be generated and made accessible, it is now possible to more accurately assess demand and make predictions for urban and real estate policies. These data are increasingly being used as fundamental resources for problem-solving and policy development.

Therefore, our department aims to cultivate outstanding professionals capable of building and utilizing urban and real estate big data, planning and developing smart cities through ICT and AI technologies, developing real estate PropTech platforms, and engaging in convergence research that includes technologies such as blockchain. We are committed to providing new opportunities for education and research that respond to the evolving needs of our time.
