[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has achieved consecutive successes by being selected for the Public Building Green Remodeling Contest Project and the 2021 Climate Change Vulnerable Group Support Project.

The district announced that it secured a total project budget of 3.1 billion KRW by being selected for the ‘Public Building Green Remodeling Project’ led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the ‘2021 Climate Change Vulnerable Group Support Project’ led by the Ministry of Environment.

The ‘Public Building Green Remodeling Project’ is a 2020 Green New Deal policy initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings over 15 years old that are used by vulnerable groups such as children.

With this contest selection, the district secured a total project budget of about 2.7 billion KRW, which is expected to improve the childcare environment for children at 20 local national and public daycare centers, including Baekkot Daycare Center and Sangbong Daycare Center.

The main improvements include high-performance windows, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, and LED lighting replacement.

The ‘2021 Climate Change Vulnerable Group Support Project’ was established to improve the childcare environment for infants and young children vulnerable to climate change such as heatwaves and cold spells by supporting remodeling project costs for private and home daycare centers.

The project budget secured through this contest is about 340 million KRW, benefiting 33 private and home daycare centers in the region. Key improvements include heat-reflective and insulation paint application, wall insulation enhancement, window improvements, and support for heating and cooling equipment.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope that with this contest project selection, children in the region can live healthily in a comfortable and safe environment,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create the optimal childcare environment and make Jungnang a great place to have and raise children.”

Since 2018, the district has conducted a ‘Function Enhancement Project’ targeting 154 private and home daycare centers in the region, including greenhouse gas reduction facilities, emergency evacuation facilities, restroom and meal facility improvements, and playground urethane removal, receiving great responses from residents.
