[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] "Since this is the neighborhood we live in, we need to talk about it ourselves. Please take an interest so that residents' opinions can be reflected within the larger framework created by the Seoul Metropolitan Government."

On the 14th, Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, visited the Hyochang Urban Regeneration Field Support Center and held a meeting with residents regarding the 'Hyochang Park Area Urban Regeneration Project.'

This is part of the 2021 On-site Visiting Mayor's Office initiative.

The Hyochang Park Area Urban Regeneration Project is being carried out until 2024 in accordance with Articles 19 and 25 of the Special Act on the Promotion and Support of Urban Regeneration.

The main components include theming Hyochang Park Front Station, creating a symbolic street on Hyochangwon-ro, establishing key facilities and alleys, and operating related programs, with a total project budget of 20 billion KRW.

The Field Support Center has been set up on the second floor of the Hyochang Stadium building.

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, "At the end of 2019, 200,000㎡ around Hyochang Park was newly designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as a 'Central Urban Regeneration Area (Historical and Cultural Specialization Type).'" He added, "Currently, we are in the stage of drawing up the basic plan."

He also added, "The district office will stimulate the on-site atmosphere through public contests to encourage more citizens to participate."

The On-site Visiting Mayor's Office will continue until July 1. It plans to visit sites such as the road expansion construction in front of Namsan Daerim Apartment, the pedestrian-friendly street creation around Hannam Station, and the resident-priority parking lot construction on leftover land in Seobinggo-dong.
