Gyeongsan City to Present Mid- to Long-Term Development Strategy in September ... Final Report Meeting of Service Project

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsan City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 27th that it held the final report meeting for the 'Hope Gyeongsan 4.0 Mid- to Long-term Development Plan Establishment Research Project' on the 26th at the city hall's large conference room, attended by city council members and senior officials.

This research project was promoted to establish Gyeongsan's mid- to long-term development strategy and vision for the next 10 years, reflecting rapidly changing internal and external conditions such as low birthrate and aging population, and infectious disease disasters.

Gyeongsan City commissioned this project in July last year, formed a practical promotion team by department to decide the direction of tasks by field, and has been striving to discover regionally specialized strategic projects needed by the local community through collecting opinions from towns, townships, and neighborhoods.

At this report meeting, Gyeongsan City's five major future plan directions are ▲ Establishing a welfare system considering demographic changes and equity ▲ Fostering future new industries of the 4th Industrial Revolution ▲ Creating a green city with health and rest ▲ Enhancing cultural enjoyment levels through expansion of cultural infrastructure ▲ Improving the image as a sports city.

Among the 61 projects proposed in the mid-term report in June through surveys and departmental reviews, projects with minimal effects or similar ones were consolidated or abolished. The final report includes 51 new projects. This research project will be completed in September after going through the opinion collection process presented at the report meeting.

Choi Young-jo, mayor of Gyeongsan City, said, "In a situation where the internal and external environment is rapidly changing, such as the digitalization of industry and the emergence of non-face-to-face industries, we will proactively respond and thoroughly review the research results to discover future growth engines for Gyeongsan and implement policies that citizens can feel and be satisfied with."
