This study provides an overview of the socio-technical vision of smart grid project by analysing Korea's ubiquitous city development cases. The study approaches the concept of ubiquitous computing by illustrating current ongoing projects to give socio-technical insights on the nature and scope of ubiquitous computing. A case study was conducted on the ongoing projects. Qualitative data were collected from archival documents, drawing on the retrospective data of diverse stakeholders: strategic policy groups, user groups, technical groups and functional groups. This study illustrates how ubiquitous computing is interpreted and reflected in South Korea's policy-making arena. The findings of this study provide a prospect toward a future information infrastructure in the context of dynamic socio-technical changes.
