[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province won the Excellence Award at the '2020 Gyeonggi-do Regulatory Rationalization Best Practices Competition.'

According to the city on the 3rd, at the competition held at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government on the 1st, Bucheon presented the 'Village Parking Lot Like an Apartment' project, which creatively solved parking and residential issues by simultaneously constructing resident and public parking lots in the basements of apartments in the old downtown area under the theme of 'Creative Solutions to Parking and Residential Problems.'

Bucheon received high praise for its efforts in regulatory rationalization, including attempts to revise laws in the absence of relevant legislation, and for forming external consensus through continuous persuasion and promotion. It also drew positive responses regarding the potential for expansion to other local governments.

On that day, six cities that advanced to the finals competed among cases from 26 cities and counties.

Bucheon expects that the 'Village Parking Lot Like an Apartment' project, the first of its kind nationwide, will improve the residential environment in old downtown housing areas where securing parking spaces is difficult, resolve illegal parking issues, and further contribute to securing long-term revenue sources for residents.

Jang Deokcheon, Mayor of Bucheon, said, "This award is the result of successfully achieving a public-private cooperation project through regulatory rationalization from an original perspective, breaking away from existing stereotypes," and added, "We will continue to do our best in regulatory innovation to alleviate residents' inconveniences and revitalize the economy."
