Abolition of Urban Regeneration Planning Team, Establishment of Safety Life Bureau...Reorganization from Existing Structure of 5 Bureaus, 1 Team, 2 Officer Offices, 29 Divisions, 135 Teams to 6 Bureaus, 1 Officer Office, 31 Divisions, 141 Teams

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has carried out an organizational restructuring effective January 1st to achieve the goal of "Safe Living, Urban Management-Centered Administration" for the effective governance of the 7th elected term.

The district office reorganized its main office structure from 5 bureaus, 1 division, 2 deputy offices, 29 departments, and 135 teams to abolish the division, newly establish 1 bureau, resulting in 6 bureaus, 1 deputy office, 31 departments, and 141 teams.

With this reorganization, the temporary Urban Regeneration Planning Team was abolished, and a new "Safe Living Bureau" was established, consisting of the Urban Safety Division, Cleaning Administration Division, Job Economy Division, and Environment Division. This reflects a field-administration-centered policy focusing on departments that residents can more directly experience.

The departments under the "Safe Living Bureau" will implement safety and disaster management as a comprehensive safety living promotion organization, as well as resident-focused policies in local economy and environmental sectors.

Additionally, bureau and department names were changed to meet new administrative demands. The bureau names were changed to "Urban Management Bureau," "Construction and Transportation Bureau," and "Planning and Finance Bureau" according to the separation and establishment of affiliated departments.

For balanced growth of Seongbuk-gu, the "Urban Planning Division" was newly established, and the existing "Urban Regeneration Division" strengthened its urban regeneration tasks such as small-scale housing regeneration.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro said, "Until now, our administration was passive, waiting for residents' complaints. However, in the 7th elected term, Seongbuk-gu will actively go to the field where residents are and resolve their complaints. Through the organizational restructuring centered on residents' safe living and balanced urban management, we will create a 'closer neighbor, more comfortable neighborhood, and happier Seongbuk-gu' that residents can truly feel."
