This residents' briefing session was prepared to share the design plan and future promotion details with residents regarding the new construction of the ‘Geumcheon Youth Dream Center’ and to collect their opinions.

The district is promoting the new construction project of the ‘Geumcheon Youth Dream Center’ in Doksan 1-dong, Geumcheon-gu (22-5, Beoman-ro 15-gil), with a scale of basement 1 to ground 9 floors and a total floor area of 1,360㎡, to encourage young entrepreneurs' challenges, create jobs, and support youth career planning.

For the new construction of the ‘Geumcheon Youth Dream Center,’ the district secured a total project cost of about 7.3 billion KRW, including 2 billion KRW from the Seoul Metropolitan Government's special grant, and started the basic and detailed design service in September last year.

According to the design plan, the main facility layout is as follows: the 1st floor will have the operation office, the 2nd floor will have a resident shared space including a book caf? and a co-working space for collaboration, the 3rd to 6th floors will be occupied by startup organizations (18 units), the 7th and 8th floors will have male and female lounges and meeting rooms, and the 9th floor will have a multipurpose auditorium.

The design plan can be viewed along with explanatory materials at the site planned for new construction and on the Geumcheon News bulletin board on the district's website.

After collecting residents' opinions through this briefing session, the district plans to finalize the design plan, start construction in July this year, and accelerate the project aiming for completion in the first half of 2023.

Residents who have opinions on the design plan can submit written statements by submitting them at the new construction site or by email to the Child and Youth Division official (ki0808ki@geumcheon.go.kr) or by fax.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Once the Geumcheon Youth Dream Center is established, we can expect synergistic effects of various youth policies such as activation of youth startups, career planning support, and youth community support through networks with existing Makerspace and Cheongchun Building.” He added, “We will actively reflect residents' opinions to create a specialized space for youth.”
