[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) has enacted the "Seodaemun-gu Basic Ordinance on Sustainable Development," which establishes sustainability as a core operational principle of district administration.

This ordinance was amended and approved at the 258th extraordinary session of the Seodaemun-gu Council on the 31st of last month and is scheduled to be promulgated and implemented within this month.

Sustainable development refers to "development activities that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," signifying a future-oriented development that achieves environmental protection alongside social and economic progress.

Through the enactment of this ordinance, the district has laid an institutional foundation for sustainable development and established five strategic tasks under the vision "Seodaemun! Embracing the Future."

These tasks include ▲ an economically coexisting Seodaemun through regional spatial strategies ▲ an educational and cultural city of Seodaemun enjoyed by all ▲ a healthy Seodaemun without welfare blind spots ▲ an eco-friendly Seodaemun with a clean urban environment ▲ and an open administration of Seodaemun that grants responsibility and authority.

Additionally, to support these strategic tasks and achieve sustainable development, 17 implementation tasks, 50 unit tasks, and 289 detailed project plans have been formulated.

The district plans to form the "Seodaemun-gu Sustainable Development Committee," consisting of up to 60 members including two co-chairpersons, and organize and operate subcommittees by specialized fields to ensure that "sustainability" is maximally reflected in major policies and plans of Seodaemun-gu.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, "We will prioritize 'development that preserves coexistence and mutual growth between people and people, and between people and nature,' the core of sustainable development, to further revitalize the local community and economy."
