Summary[edit]

Description

Seoul, according to Wikipedia: "Seoul's influence in BUSINESS, INTERNATIONAL TRADE, POLITICS, TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION and ENTERTAINMENT all contribute to its role as a prominent global city. It is considered to be an ALPHA WORLD CITY, ranking 9th in the 2008 Global Cities Index.

It is one of the WORLD'S TOP TEN FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL CENTERS, home to some of the world's largest conglomerates such as SAMSUNG, LG and HYUNDAI-KIA. Seoul was Asia's most expensive city to live in 2007, and the THIRD MOST EXPENSIVE CITY WORLDWIDE. With a GDP per capita of $32,171 in 2008, Seoul has a living standard comparable to France and Italy.

In 2008, Seoul was named the WORLD'S SIXTH MOST ECONOMICALLY POWERFUL CITY by Forbes.com, ahead of Paris and Los Angeles.

Seoul is the 2010 World Design Capital and has one of the world's most technologically advanced infrastructures. It is RANKED FIRST ON THE DIGITAL OPPORTUNITY INDEX, and its Digital Media City is the world's first complex for high-tech technologies, a test-bed for futuristic IT and multimedia applications, as well as home to the 133-floors, 640m supertall DMC Landmark Building, slated to be the WORLD'S SECOND TALLEST BUILDING by 2015.

Seoul is the only city in the world featuring DMB, a digital mobile TV technology and WiBro, a wireless high-speed mobile internet service, as well as the WORLD'S FASTEST, most penetrated 100Mbps fibre-optic broadband network, which is being upgraded to 1Gbps by 2012."
