[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 10th that it will promote a basic plan and detailed design service related to the creation of a street food zone to revitalize the commercial district around the Blue Road Park near Baegun Square and make Baegun Square a place visited by many people.

This service aims to establish a master plan and annual detailed project execution plan for revitalizing the surrounding commercial district by linking the local food direct sales market, which is scheduled to be built around the Blue Road Park near Baegun Square, and the street food zone extending about 500 meters.

Nam-gu plans to recruit companies to participate in the service by the end of this month through a bidding announcement, and after the proposal evaluation process, the final service provider will be selected around mid-next month.

The service period is six months, and the basic outline related to the creation of the street food zone is expected to be revealed as early as October.

In particular, through the investigation of domestic and international street food zone operation cases and analysis of the surrounding commercial district, the expected effects of creating a street food zone near Baegun Square and the feasibility review results of policy projects such as regional balanced development are also expected to be derived simultaneously through this service.

Along with this, Nam-gu plans to expand resident participation in the urban regeneration project around Baegun Square and ensure that various opinions proposed by local experts, residents, including the Blue Road Association, related to the street food zone creation project are reflected in the basic plan and detailed design service.

A Nam-gu official said, “Our district’s basic plan aims to provide more than 30 food stores where visitors can experience cuisines from around the world along the 500-meter section of Blue Road Park, as well as spaces for selling products of the local food direct sales market and social economy enterprises. Specific details will be revealed through this service.”
