Mechanical Parking Garage Renovation at Gangnam-gu Cultural Center

Utilizing the 'Social Distancing' Period to Prevent COVID-19 in Three Areas: Daechi 1, Yeoksam 2, and Gaepo 2-dong

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) completed improvement work on the mechanical parking lot inside the cultural center on the 15th of this month to create a pleasant parking environment in the post-COVID-19 era.

The district closed the underutilized mechanical parking lot at Daechi 1-dong Cultural Center, which has a small scale relative to its population and lacks cultural and sports program rooms, and newly created a multipurpose room and shower facilities.

This was actively reflected based on the results of a survey conducted on residents in January of last year.

Additionally, the mechanical parking lots at Yeoksam 2-dong and Gaepo 2-dong Cultural Centers, which were old and frequently malfunctioning causing inconvenience, were expanded and improved to accommodate RVs and large vehicles.

Following the completion of the ‘Chat-dong’ space improvement project in October last year, the district is preparing community spaces such as cafes within the cultural centers, and is remodeling restrooms in the resident centers that have been in place for over 20 years to create healing spaces.

Lee Su-jin, Director of the Resident Autonomy Division, said, “We expect that the fully reopened cultural centers, newly renovated during the closure period, will relieve residents’ fatigue and stress caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to pursue pleasant changes befitting a ‘refined city, Gangnam’ through expanding life SOC projects closely related to residents’ daily lives.”
