[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seoul Metropolitan Council member Kim Yong-seok (Democratic Party, Dobong 1) visited the site of ‘Changdong Aureune,’ a catalyst facility for creating a new economic hub in Changdong and Sanggye, on the 2nd. He called for strengthened promotion to increase resident usage and the establishment of a close working cooperation and collaboration system with Dobong District Office.

‘Changdong Aureune’ is a core catalyst project of the ‘economic base-type urban regeneration project’ promoted by Seoul City to create a new economic hub in Changdong and Sanggye. A total of 48.6 billion KRW, including 11 billion KRW in national subsidies, was invested, and it opened on November 27 last year.

‘Changdong Aureune’ is a multi-generational shared job complex support facility that covers all generations from young people dreaming of starting a business to middle-aged people preparing for a second act in life. It integrates four facilities: ‘Seoul Startup Hub Changdong,’ a job support facility for various generations; ‘50 Plus Northern Campus’; ‘Changdong Aureune Village,’ a residential facility to attract young talents such as entrepreneurs and young musicians; and ‘Northeast NPO Support Center,’ a space supporting non-profit civic organizations.

Council member Kim Yong-seok, along with district council members Lee Young-sook and Kang Cheol-ung, visited Changdong Aureune to assess the current status and inspect the facilities. He stated, “To ensure the success of the first catalyst project of the Changdong and Sanggye new economic hub creation project, we will strengthen active promotion to residents,” and ordered, “To cooperate more closely with Dobong District Office, a permanent collaboration system such as an operating committee should be established.”

Council member Kim expressed expectations, saying, “Once the internal facility construction, including startup-friendly spaces and lounges, is completed by the end of February, it will become a vibrant space that embraces all residents,” and “Going forward, Changdong Aureune will establish itself as a key facility for economic revitalization in the northeastern metropolitan area.”
