Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today unveiled a virtual public exhibition of its HMG Smart City reference model and other concept studies developed in collaboration with academia.
The virtual exhibition consists of the greenfield smart city reference model that the Group debuted at the World Cities Summit forum in Singapore this past August, and various concept studies on the future cities.
The model is a collaboration between the Group and HyunJoon Yoo Architects. The reference model is a research project that will serve as an important steppingstone for the Group’s effort to understand cities in order to provide smart city solutions that truly benefit citizens.
We looked at the issues inherent in legacy cities and thought about how we could design future cities as a space where humanity, nature, architecture and mobility can coexist. The reference model represents a functional design that revolves around supporting the mobility of people and things.SangYup Lee

The concept’s road infrastructure lies in the underground layer where autonomous mobility solutions transport all the goods and services to regional automated logistics hubs where autonomous robots make the final delivery.
The concept envisions a sustainable #green city where large natural areas are preserved. The city center features recreational forests, parks and a reservoir to provide water for city dwellers. To ensure carbon neutrality, the city’s primary power source will be hydrogen fuel cell generators, distributing electricity through smart grid pipelines to buildings.
The Group previously announced its vision for future cities and related smart mobility solutions at CES 2020. Since then, the Group has rapidly developed a range of smart mobility solutions.
Inspired by a honeycomb pattern, the HMG Smart City concept is a hexagonal-shaped urban development with a human-centered surface layer and functional underground layer. On the surface, the buildings encircle parks and forest at the center of the city, effectively minimizing the gross area developed by humankind.
