167 Billion KRW Invested Over 2 Years to Accelerate Creation of 'Climate Safe City'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that it has been selected for the Smart Green City contest project promoted by the Ministry of Environment.

The Smart Green City project is a representative project of the government's Green New Deal policy. Based on the diagnosis of urban climate and environmental issues, it is a region-customized environmental improvement project that integrates various environmental sectors such as climate, water, and air. Five comprehensive leading cities and 20 problem-solving cities were selected.

The city was selected as a comprehensive leading city and will invest 16.7 billion KRW over two years starting next year to promote the "People and Nature GREEN Again City Jinyeong" project in the Jinyeong-ri and Yeorae-ri areas of Jinyeong-eup.

To solve environmental problems such as odor, fine dust, and heat waves in the Jinyeong-eup area and transition to a sustainable green city, projects such as the Retention Basin Smart Ecological Restoration Project, Smart Environmental Patrol Project, and Green Line Network Project will be carried out.

The city expects that this project will reduce greenhouse gases, non-point pollution sources, and fine dust, and create about 243 jobs.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, "Through the Smart Green City project, we will promote the Gimhae-type Green New Deal project for the development of a sustainable city that solves urban environmental problems, and accelerate the creation of a climate-safe city Gimhae where citizens can feel the effects and live safely."
