Incheon Metropolitan City's open-data portal consolidates city-generated public datasets and statistics in one place. Originally launched in 2020, it was rebuilt under a roughly ₩4.15 billion 'Incheon Data Hub' project and relaunched in January 2024 with new storage infrastructure, a big-data platform and citizen data-request tools. Still active, hosting a 2025 public-data competition.

🎓 Lesson

A years-old "open data portal" can mean very different things depending on the era — Incheon's original 2020 portal offered mostly static statistics with no real-time updates; the 2023–2024 rebuild was explicitly framed as a shift toward raw, analysis-ready data for universities and researchers.
