Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation, Korea Land & Housing Corporation, and Seoul Urban Regeneration Support Center Sign MOU and Build Organic Cooperation System... Jungnang-gu Wins Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award at 2020 Korea Urban Regeneration Symposium

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will receive the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award at the ‘2020 Korea Urban Regeneration Symposium’ held on the 21st at Cheongju Cultural Manufacturing Plant.

Hosted by Korea Land and Housing Corporation and Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation, and supported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this symposium was organized to discover excellent cases of urban regeneration sites and to award outstanding cities and organizations.

The evaluation criteria include ▲ establishment, operation, and performance of urban regeneration systems ▲ economic revitalization effects in urban regeneration areas ▲ improvement effects in resident participation and communication structures in urban regeneration. Jungnang-gu received high marks in all three evaluation categories.

In particular, it was highly evaluated for establishing an organic cooperative system with various entities such as Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation, Korea Land and Housing Corporation, and Seoul Urban Regeneration Support Center through business agreements.

So far, Jungnang-gu has promoted urban regeneration projects where residents directly participate and communicate, such as operating urban regeneration schools, small learning centers, and resident capacity-building workshops, and was the first among Seoul’s 25 autonomous districts to open the ‘Jungnang-gu Urban Regeneration Portal.’

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “The reason we were able to receive the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award at the ‘2020 Korea Urban Regeneration Symposium’ is thanks to the residents who voluntarily participated as the main agents in the urban regeneration projects,” adding, “We will continue to actively communicate with residents and strive for sustainable urban regeneration.”

Jungnang-gu is actively promoting urban regeneration projects in Muk 2-dong, Junghwa 2-dong, Myeonmok Fashion (Garment) Promotion District, Myeonmok 3·8-dong, and Mangu Bon-dong to improve residents’ quality of life.
