[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Urban Regeneration Research Group, a council member research organization of Gwangjin District Council (Chairman Lee Kyungho), held a seminar for the development of the Gwangjin area on the 13th at the council briefing room.

Having launched its inaugural meeting in January and started activities, the Urban Regeneration Research Group began full-scale research focusing on safety, environment, and the 2030 generation (MZ generation) to improve private consignment management plans and explore ways to specialize local commercial districts.

The seminar was attended by Chairman Lee Kyungho, along with members Jeon Eunhye, Lee Myungok, Moon Kyungsuk, Chu Yungu, and Go Yangseok. Experts included Hong Wonki, team leader of the Korea Private Consignment Management Research Institute, and Kwon Taeksang, deputy director of the Korea Applied Statistics Research Institute.

The first part of the seminar was held under the theme "Research on Private Consignment Management Plans for Realizing a Safe and Clean Gwangjin District." Discussions focused on "establishing a private consignment system reflecting the conditions of Gwangjin District as private consignment tasks gradually expand" and "improving the private consignment system for cleaning administration and facility safety management to enhance environmental and safety welfare." Opinions were gathered to seek specific implementation plans for the private consignment system and to improve safety and the environment.

In the second part, under the theme "Specialization Plans for Local Commercial Districts for the MZ Generation," discussions were held on revitalization plans focusing on the MZ generation to establish a stable foundation for local commercial districts, which have been stagnated due to COVID-19. Activation plans based on three major commercial districts in Seoul?Konkuk University Station, Gunja Station which serves both business and commercial functions, and Achasan Station with over one million cumulative climbers annually?were presented. The seminar also covered topics such as the creation of walkable streets connecting Achasan-Children's Grand Park-Ttukseom-Cheongdam Bridge and the establishment of a camping site at Children's Grand Park.

Concluding the seminar, Chairman Lee Kyungho expressed, "It was regrettable to see Gwangjin District, which has geographical advantages connecting to Gangbuk, lagging behind other districts." He pledged, "We will strive to make Gwangjin a better place to live based on urban regeneration." He also asked, "Please look forward to the future of the Urban Regeneration Research Group, which is working hard to improve environmental conditions and revitalize local commercial districts to increase regional value."
