[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 3rd that it has selected five outstanding proposals from the innovation idea contest that citizens can feel and empathize with in their daily lives.

The contest was held on the city’s website from May 18 to June 26, and a total of 60 entries were received.

The selected outstanding proposals are ▲‘Gwangju Taxi Tourism Reviving the Nostalgia and Memories of May 18,’ inspired by the movie Taxi Driver ▲‘Hwangryonggang Renaissance Project,’ which promotes the humanities resources around Hwangryonggang as tourism ▲‘Installation of Mudeungsan Jatgogae Observatory,’ the optimal site for night view tourism in Gwangju ▲Construction of an AI-based convergence city linked with the main industries of other cities and provinces ▲Road bump pavement in children protection zones.

Gwangju City plans to review the policy implementation of the outstanding proposals through deliberation with related departments.

Kim Yong-seung, Director of Innovation Communication Planning of the city, said, “This contest is meaningful in that citizens participated together in discovering innovation ideas, which had mainly involved only public officials until now,” and added, “We will continue to strive to secure driving force for promotion by connecting the opinions of citizens, the demanders of administration, to administrative innovation through diverse and broad communication.”
