[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, will designate an honorary road name, "UNESCO Lifelong Learning Road," for a section of the road in front of Songdo Convensia to commemorate the 5th UNESCO International Conference on Learning Cities (ICLC), which opens on the 27th.

An honorary road name is a symbolic road name given to honor individuals with significant contributions to international exchange, business attraction, or social dedication. Once assigned, the road name can be used for five years and may be extended.

The section receiving the new road name is a 2.6 km stretch from Haedoji Park to Central Park along Songdo Central-ro.

Previously, Yeonsu-gu finalized the road name after collecting residents' opinions and reviewing it through the Road Name Address Committee. In addition, along with the announcement and public notice of the honorary road name assignment, related guide facilities will be installed.

The 5th ICLC, held from the 27th to the 30th around Songdo Convensia, is a representative international event in the field of lifelong learning hosted by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), held every two years rotating across continents worldwide.

Representatives from 193 UNESCO member countries, 229 GNLC member cities from 64 countries, and domestic lifelong learning city representatives will attend.

A Yeonsu-gu official stated, "Through the honorary road name, the image and characteristics of Yeonsu-gu as an international education city will be widely known, which is expected to greatly help enhance Yeonsu-gu's brand value in attracting businesses, international exchange, and domestic and international promotion."
