Welcome
This site was launched in the mid-2000s in support of and a site for sharing information, news, and opinions about Incheon South Korea’s Songdo International Business District (today Songdo International City). More recently, (April 2012, we expanded the blog to include New Urbanism. In 2024, we rebooted to cover Smart City, Songdo International City, and the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ). In December 2025, it was rebranded again to align with Bridging Culture Worldwide and my writing work.
