Daegu City Recruiting Citizens to Participate in the 'Urban Regeneration Academy'

Starting from the 27th, held every Thursday for 5 weeks

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 17th that it is recruiting participants for the '21st Open Urban Regeneration Academy,' which will be held for 5 weeks starting from the 27th.

The 'Open Urban Regeneration Academy' is a representative citizen participation program in the Daegu area, conducted annually to establish a foundation for citizen-led continuous and stable promotion of local urban regeneration policies.

Daegu City had canceled the basic course and advanced regeneration and maintenance courses of the academy originally scheduled for the first half of the year due to the sudden regional spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The visiting urban regeneration academy-related education was also postponed until after July and has been operating since the 11th.

The education will begin on the 27th with a lecture titled 'Understanding Urban Regeneration Projects and Domestic and International Cases' by Professor Choi Soon-seop of Korea National University of Transportation. Expert lectures on overall urban regeneration topics such as the Urban Regeneration New Deal policy, urban maintenance, and real estate-related tax issues will be held every Thursday evening at 7 PM at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Design Center for 5 weeks until September 24th. The cost is free. Participants who attend more than 4 out of the 5 weeks can receive a certificate of completion issued in the name of the Mayor of Daegu.

Those wishing to participate can apply through the Daegu Creative Urban Regeneration Support Center website by the 21st. The number of participants is limited to 100 on a first-come, first-served basis.

Gang Yeon-geun, head of the Urban Regeneration Division of Daegu City, said, "Since this event involves the participation of an unspecified large number of general citizens, the number of participants has been limited to one-third compared to last year to prevent the spread of infectious diseases," adding, "We will thoroughly prepare quarantine measures to ensure safe education."
