9 Cities That Did Not Receive Benefits from the First Phase of Public Institution Relocation Collaborate

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Sangju City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 28th that it recently installed advertisements at Seoul Nambu Terminal, jointly with Changwon City and eight other non-metropolitan cities, urging the second phase of public institution relocation to local areas.

The advertisements convey a message to the government and the public to promptly promote the second phase of public institution relocation to prevent local extinction. The advertisements will be displayed until the end of this year.

The nine cities, which did not benefit from the first phase of public institution relocation completed in 2019, used this advertisement to raise awareness of the serious situation of local cities facing extinction and urged the relocation of public institutions located in the metropolitan area to regional central cities outside of innovation cities for true national balanced development.

The advertisement includes the phrase "Second phase of public institution relocation to local areas, if not now, then it’s too late!" along with the signatures of the mayors of the nine cities.

Mayor Kang Young-seok emphasized, "In the face of accelerating metropolitan overpopulation and the crisis of local extinction, the relocation of public institutions from the metropolitan area to local areas is a timely demand and task for national balanced development and sustainable growth."
