Samsung Smart-village in Korea gathering all the data to, what I can only assume, the perfect happy orwellian village/city of the future. All hooked up for friendly data gathering/harvesting on and of the ideal citizens.
[...] Unmanned Solution, a company of 35 employees founded in 2008, is providing cleaning robots for the village, and the South Korean start-up Superbin, with 89 employees, provides garbage disposal services and recycling technology.
K-Water is the major player in this development as it is using its latest technology to not only transform the wetlands (making them developable by bringing in tons of sand and sinking concrete poles), but also to use the water in the Nakdong River for hydropower, drinking water and other uses. The hydropower will energize everything from homes to streetlights to sprinkler systems in the planned public areas.
With extensive data being compiled for help in health care planning, concerns about privacy and the sharing of personal information with governments and businesses have been muted so far.
"I haven't heard of any complaints so far from residents, but I know that all around the world people can be defiant about giving out their personal information," Mr. Min said. Nevertheless, he said, "a committee is drafting privacy guidelines and all of the info is encrypted."

Google tried to build a smart city that sounds similar to this, near Toronto, Ontario. From memory they were going to take over an old industrial area and turn it into a trendy new town...but they got shot down on privacy and other grounds.

Doesn't Samsung/K-Water know the importance of wetlands or do they just not care?

I'd have to say 'yes' to "do they know about wetlands" and 'yes' to "do they just not care?"

+tinyfont5+ am attaching here (before spam) -tinyfont5-
it seems they are trying to lure people with super powers. people who can, thru power of quantum mechanics and/or timetravel future-and-past futures hedging trustfunds (basically people who are lucky all the time for no apparent reason) make stuff appear out of thin air when no one is looking.
like buckets of pasteurized milk. or 2x4 lumber. or 50kg bags of cement (a real feat that one). the reverse super power they have is also notable: making stuff disappear. like used diapers.
i wish them luck and hope they also find a good "major" to glue the town of "specials" together. again a feat that will require super powers ...
note: it could just be a commune of telepaths tho ...
