Busan Eco Delta City's master plan targets 76,000 residents across 11.8 sq km; within it a 2.8 sq km national smart-city pilot runs a Smart Village living lab where 56 households (200 residents) trade behavioural data for rent-free stays, while two nearby complexes test patrol, barista, luggage-carrying and cleaning robots.
