Ulaanbaatar to become a ‘smart city’

On Tuesday, the Ulaanbaatar City Governor’s Office (UCGO) launched the ‘Smart City’ project, which will be implemented in three stages over the next seven years until 2020.

The ‘Smart City’ project aims to enable city residents to get access to information regarding public services, and send comments, reports, and request to relevant officials via the Internet. According to the UCGO, Ulaanbaatar residents will thereby have a sophisticated, transparent and fair public service, without excessive bureaucracy.

In the first stage, the UCGO will ensure that tender or bid application materials are available online and will provide information online about the selection process for shortlisted applicants, as well as lists of the applicants. This is expected to improve transparency. In addition, the UCGO will develop a consolidated list of public service assets, which will be made available online, and will also develop an electronic registration database of Ulaanbaatar residents as well as an electronic payment system through which residents can pay traffic fines online.

Furthermore, an online system will be developed to enable residents of Ulaanbaatar to view the short- and long-term plans of UCGO officials, and to monitor and comment on the performance and efficiency of UCGO officials.
