[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] In the 'Urban Regeneration New Deal Project 2nd Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Gyeongsangnam-do achieved the greatest success nationwide by having 6 out of 39 selected sites across the country.

According to the province on the 30th, Gyeongnam Province conducted written, on-site, and presentation evaluations over two months starting in May for projects applied by cities and counties, and finally selected the most viable projects to submit to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's final selection was made through feasibility evaluations of projects submitted nationwide and deliberations by the Urban Regeneration Special Committee, and Gyeongsangnam-do plans to invest a total of 64.5 billion KRW starting next year to carry out the projects.

The selected projects fall into three types: Changnyeong-eup in Changnyeong-gun and Anui-myeon in Hamyang-gun were selected for the 'General Neighborhood Type,' which promotes community revitalization and alleyway commercial district vitality; Hapjeong 1-dong in Changwon-si and Bulam-dong in Gimhae-si were selected for the 'Residential Support Type,' which supplies public facilities for residents and rental housing; and Uiryeong-eup in Uiryeong-gun and Goseong-eup in Goseong-gun were selected for the 'Our Neighborhood Revival Type,' which improves the residential environment of small-scale low-rise residential areas.

Heo Dong-sik, Director of the Urban Transportation Bureau, said, "We will do our best to promote the projects so that residents can feel an improvement in their quality of life through the implementation of this Urban Regeneration New Deal Project."
