On the 3rd, Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced that it will promote the construction of the 'Changwon City Democracy Hall' to establish the history of democracy as the city brand.

Changwon is a historic city where the March 15th Movement, April 19th Revolution, Bu-Ma Democratic Uprising, June 10th Protest, and the 1987 Workers' Great Struggle took place.

The city is promoting this project to pass on and inherit the local democratic spirit and assets to future generations and to establish the history of democracy as the city brand.

A total project cost of 30.346 billion KRW, including national, provincial, and city funds, will be invested. The location is the waterfront space in Wolpo-dong, Masanhappo-gu, Masan Port West Harbor District, Changwon, with a total floor area of 8,300㎡.

Exhibition halls, a democracy library, democracy plaza, memorial space, and a multipurpose auditorium are planned to be built. Currently, feasibility studies and basic plan establishment services have been completed.

The city plans to implement the 'Changwon City Democracy Hall Construction Content Planning Service' to establish various design guidelines. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2022 and be completed by September 2024.

Seo Jeong-guk, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, said, “Through this service and design competition, we will secure the direction for the construction of the Democracy Hall and exhibition content, which will be a stepping stone to getting one step closer to creating 'Changwon, the Holy Land of Democracy.'”
