[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) is creating a provisional municipal Gajaeul Youth Center, one of the long-awaited projects in the Namgajwa and Bukgajwa areas, as a space specialized in 4th Industrial Revolution content.

The center will be a youth-exclusive activity space, built on a 600㎡ site at 392 Namgajwa-dong, with one basement floor and four above-ground floors, totaling 1,620㎡ in floor area.

The district started construction at the end of last month, aiming for completion in the first half of next year. The center will include a 4th Industrial Revolution hall, media room, lecture rooms, club rooms, multipurpose assembly space, open playground, youth cafe, and rooftop rest area.

This year, the district formed a task force team consisting of youth who will use the center, parents, private consignment operators, and related district office departments to discuss operational plans.

As a result, the main concept for operating the youth center was set as ‘experiencing 4th Industrial Revolution technologies’ such as 3D printing, coding, virtual and augmented reality (VR·AR), and artificial intelligence (AI).

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “We will strive to ensure that this center, together with the nearby ‘Seoul Metropolitan Digital and Media Library,’ creates a synergy effect and becomes a space where youth can freely nurture their dreams.”
