[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced that on the 22nd at 7 p.m., it opened the advanced course of the ‘Jungang District Urban Regeneration University’ at the Jinju City Merchants’ Hall to establish a foundation for residents’ participation in the Jungang District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.

The Urban Regeneration University is a resident-led learning program conducted when an urban regeneration New Deal project is selected. Through team formation, each team plans small-scale resident projects around Jungang-dong, writes project proposals, and gains hands-on experience by directly executing the projects.

This Jungang District Urban Regeneration University will be held over eight sessions until August 10, targeting a total of 20 people divided into four teams consisting of residents and stakeholders around Jungang-dong.

The main contents include ▲ excellent cases of resident-led urban regeneration ▲ project planning through design thinking ▲ writing resident project proposals ▲ executing resident projects, providing education on projects that residents can lead.

This advanced training is expected to serve as an opportunity to further enhance the capabilities of local residents by allowing Jungang-dong residents to plan and execute projects themselves while receiving consulting guidance, ensuring the success of resident-led urban regeneration projects.

A Jinju City official stated, “The advanced course of the Gangnam District Urban Regeneration University conducted last year was selected as an excellent case of urban regeneration New Deal education hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH. We plan to achieve meaningful results through residents’ creative ideas in the Jungang District as well.”

Kim Young, head of the Jinju City Urban Regeneration Support Center, said, “Through the education, residents will feel the necessity of resident leadership in urban regeneration projects and learn that residents are the core agents of urban regeneration projects,” urging for much interest and participation to ensure the selection of the Jungang District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.
