Seoul Gangseo-gu Holds Online Resident Briefing on New Government Building Construction

Non-face-to-face Resident Briefing Session Held to Prevent COVID-19 Spread... Detailed Explanation of New Office Building Project via Video... Proposal Room Established to Collect Residents' Opinions

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) is conducting a cyber briefing session through its homepage to incorporate the diverse opinions and ideas of 600,000 residents into the new integrated government building being promoted in the Magok district.

Originally, the district planned to hold regional briefing sessions to meet residents directly, but due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, non-face-to-face communication methods were adopted to prevent local infections.

The cyber briefing session can be accessed immediately by clicking the integrated government building construction banner on the Gangseo-gu Office homepage.

Visitors can get an overview of the background of the project, the site for the building, the basic plan, and the construction direction (the new building envisioned by residents), and detailed information about the integrated government building construction project is introduced through a video (narration guide).

Additionally, a ‘Resident Opinion Suggestion Room’ has been set up to allow residents to freely propose their wishes regarding the construction of the new building.

The ‘Resident Opinion Suggestion Room’ will operate until December 15, and the collected opinions will be sufficiently reflected in the design competition guidelines.

The current Gangseo-gu Office was completed in 1977 and has long faced safety issues due to aging, and the office is dispersed in limited spaces, continuously raising the need for a new integrated government building.

Accordingly, the district is relocating to the Magok district and promoting the construction of the new building. The integrated government building will have a site area of 20,256㎡ and a total floor area of 52,152㎡, housing the district office, district council, public health center, and convenience facilities together.

Mayor Noh Hyun-song said, “The construction of the new government building symbolizes Gangseo’s future-oriented city,” and added, “We will steadily promote the construction of an integrated government building as an open and cultural building that communicates with residents by preparing various plans together with them.”
