| Abstract |
Carbon-neutral city technologies are increasingly important for addressing climate change and achieving national decarbonization goals. Since these complex, multidisciplinary technologies require diverse expertise and resources beyond any single country's capacity, international collaboration is essential for effective development and deployment. This study evaluates the technological capacity of 12 countries using a technology assessment matrix with four categories comprising 32 indicators to identify strategic international partners. SWOT analysis identified the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Singapore as optimal collaboration partners for South Korea, focusing on advanced technology development, sustainable construction, policy standardization, demonstration projects, and smart city integration, respectively. The findings are expected to support systematic international collaboration strategies in the construction management of carbon-neutral cities by providing actionable frameworks for project planning, technology integration, and partnership development. |
