[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 31st, eight local governments in Seoul (Guro, Geumcheon, Yeongdeungpo, Yangcheon districts) and Gyeonggi Province (Gwangmyeong, Gunpo, Uiwang, Anyang cities) held the inaugural general meeting of the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification and Advancement Administrative Council’ and officially launched it.

Guro District Office announced on the 31st, “The eight local governments sharing Anyangcheon jointly held the inaugural general meeting to establish an administrative council for systematic cooperation in the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification and Advancement’ project and to lay the foundation for designation as a national garden.”

The inaugural general meeting of the administrative council, held via online video conference, was attended by all representatives of the eight local governments who will lead the council: Lee Sung, Mayor of Guro District; Yoo Sung-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon District; Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District; Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon District; Park Seung-won, Mayor of Gwangmyeong City; Choi Dae-ho, Mayor of Anyang City; Han Dae-hee, Mayor of Gunpo City; and Kim Sang-don, Mayor of Uiwang City.

The inaugural meeting reviewed the achievements of the projects carried out so far, examined the main contents of the administrative council’s regulations, discussed future key activities of the council (joint budget acquisition, directions for the beautification and advancement project, designation as a national garden, etc.), and also recommended and elected the council president.

Earlier, in January, to cultivate a better Anyangcheon, Mayor Lee Sung of Guro District proposed and signed a business agreement for the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification Project’ with four autonomous districts: Guro, Geumcheon, Yeongdeungpo, and Yangcheon. Then, in March, Mayor Lee Sung attended as a representative at the working-level council of four local governments in the Gyeonggi area?Gwangmyeong, Gunpo, Uiwang, and Anyang?to introduce the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification Project’ and expand the project scope to Gyeonggi Province.

Based on this, in May, a signing ceremony was held at the Anyangcheon Ecological Flower Garden with representatives of all eight local governments present, uniting their intentions to jointly promote the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification and Advancement Project.’

The Anyangcheon Arboretum project, which served as a focal point for the eight local governments to unite in making Anyangcheon a better place, is a core pledge of Mayor Lee Sung’s 7th term in office. It aims to develop the Anyangcheon area to the level of an arboretum and create a green city where work and life are balanced. As a result, the largest ecological flower garden in the southwestern Seoul area (17,500㎡), along with the Iris Garden and Rose Garden, were established, shade trees were planted, and ecological restoration of embankment slopes was carried out, making it a representative resting space for residents.

A Guro District official said, “With the formation of the administrative council, the eight local governments will closely cooperate, which is expected to significantly enhance the execution power of the ‘Anyangcheon Beautification and Advancement’ project,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that Anyangcheon is designated as a national garden through continuous project promotion and becomes a tourist attraction in the metropolitan area.”
