[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A ‘15-minute city’ Busan declaration event, which pursues a local service living area within a 15-minute walk, will be held.

Busan City (Mayor Park Hyung-jun) announced on the 25th that on the 26th at 2 p.m., at the first-floor main conference room of City Hall, Busan City Council Chairman Shin Sang-hae, Kim Woo-ryong, head of the District Office and Chairman of the Council of District Heads (Dongnae District Office Chief), related experts, the 15-minute city consensus policy group, and others will hold the ‘15-minute City Busan Vision Proclamation Ceremony.’

This event, held both online and offline, will limit on-site participation to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but will be broadcast live through Busan City’s internet broadcasting channel ‘Bada TV.’

The program will proceed in the order of ▲Mayor Park Hyung-jun’s presentation of the 15-minute city vision ▲‘Thoughts and Empathy Talk,’ a free communication session with experts and the city consensus policy group involved in establishing the 15-minute city to gather diverse opinions ▲appointment ceremony of the 15-minute city consensus policy group ▲and the proclamation of the 15-minute city.

The ‘15-minute City Busan Vision’ to be proclaimed that day embodies Busan’s future under the slogan ‘Busan First to the Future, We Will Build a 15-minute City Busan!’ and includes ▲a city where citizens’ daily lives are happy ▲a convenient smart city ▲and a carbon-neutral transition city.

To incorporate citizens’ voices into the 15-minute city, Busan City conducted a public recruitment of the 15-minute city consensus policy group for 17 days from May 3 to 20, selecting 1,400 citizen representatives.

Starting in June, Mayor Park Hyung-jun plans to visit 16 districts and counties directly to gain citizen consensus on the vision of daily living areas and to develop development strategies for each living area together with citizens.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “We will create a ‘15-minute City Busan’ by supplying daily convenience facilities within close distance, integrating citizens’ daily lives with smart technology to improve quality of life, and transforming the urban environment to advance toward a carbon-neutral transition city,” adding, “I will personally visit to listen to citizens’ stories, share policy proposals ranging from small matters to important issues, and gather diverse opinions.”
