As the chair city, we will take the lead in creating a sustainable healthy city.”

The Korea Healthy Cities Partnership was established in 2006 to share public policies and information among local governments for improving residents' quality of life, achieving high levels of health, and realizing health equity, as well as to promote sustainable urban development.

Jongno-gu was elected as the 7th chair city and has been managing the partnership’s affairs since January last year.
