[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 24th that it has been selected for the third consecutive year in the urban regeneration contest, following its final selection in the ‘2021 Urban Regeneration Preliminary Project Contest’ conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The selected urban regeneration preliminary project is a small-scale regeneration project targeting the Dangbon-ri area in Anui-myeon, Hamyang-gun, with a total project cost of 364 million KRW (182 million KRW from the central government and 182 million KRW from local government).

This is a preliminary plan to prepare for the main urban regeneration New Deal project by utilizing vacant stores in the traditional herbal medicine market in Anui-myeon, Hamyang-gun as a hub space for the urban regeneration project. It was recognized as a specialized model of humanities-based urban regeneration with the concept of urban regeneration embodying the welfare philosophy of Yeonam Park Ji-won (former Anui-hyeongam).

The county has been proceeding sequentially following the higher-level plan, the Urban Regeneration Strategic Plan, selecting Hamyang-eup in 2018 and Indang Village in 2019.

The urban regeneration preliminary project selected in this contest corresponds to a preliminary project for the 2021 Urban Regeneration New Deal main project.

Through the selected urban regeneration preliminary project, the second-floor vacant space of the native herbal medicine market in Anui-myeon will be utilized to open an Urban Regeneration Field Support Center, promoting urban regeneration projects closely connected with residents on site, which is expected to contribute to the activation of the herbal exhibition hall and herbal medicine market.

Seo Chun-soo, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, said, “I feel great pride in successfully taking the first step toward the Urban Regeneration New Deal project that the traditional assets of Anui-myeon and residents can create together,” and added, “We will do our best to revitalize Anui-myeon to become the cornerstone for building the future value of Hamyang for the next 100 years.”
