Seoul City 'The 10 Years Northeast 4 Districts Have Walked, The 10 Years They Will Walk?'

Celebrating 10 Years of Regional Cooperation with 'Dongbuk 4 District Regional Cooperation Talk Concert' at Platform Changdong61

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) held the 'Northeast 4 District Regional Cooperation Talk Concert' on the 20th at Platform Changdong 61 Red Box to commemorate 10 years of regional cooperation among the four northeastern districts of Seoul: Seongbuk-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Dobong-gu, and Nowon-gu.

Co-hosted by the 'Northeast 4 District Administrative Council' and the 'Northeast 4 District Urban Regeneration Cooperation Support Center,' the talk concert was divided into two parts under the theme "The 10 Years the Northeast 4 Districts Have Walked, and the 10 Years to Come."

In the first part, under the theme "The 10 Years the Northeast 4 Districts Have Walked," the mayors of the Northeast 4 Districts reflected on the past decade of regional cooperation. In the second part, local city council members and private governance stakeholders discussed the "10 Years the Northeast 4 Districts Will Walk" for regional development.

Considering COVID-19, the talk concert was broadcast live on YouTube without on-site participation.

The Northeast 4 Districts (Dobong, Seongbuk, Gangbuk, Nowon) formed the 'Northeast 4 District Development Council' in 2012 (first chairman, Dobong-gu Mayor Lee Dong-jin) to jointly address regional issues and seek win-win regional development through cooperation rather than competition. In 2016, the council was established as a legal entity, the 'Northeast 4 District Administrative Council,' and has been working toward joint development of the Northeast 4 Districts, including promoting the Changdong-Sanggye New Economic Center project.

Additionally, a regional cooperation exhibition is being held around Platform Changdong 61 until October 24. The exhibition offers diverse attractions, including the 'Portrait Hall' showcasing people involved in Northeast 4 District regional cooperation, 'History Hall 1' displaying the status of the Changdong-Sanggye New Economic Center project, and 'History Hall 2,' a cooperative exhibition of local Northeast 4 District artists.

Lee Dong-jin, the inaugural chairman of the Northeast 4 District Development Council and the third chairman of the Northeast 4 District Administrative Council, stated, "I hope this talk concert, reflecting on the past 10 years of Northeast 4 District regional cooperation and imagining the next 10 years, will serve as a foundation for regional development that resonates with citizens' lives and for creating a sustainable Northeast 4 District that preserves the region's unique characteristics."
