[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City has selected five experts to oversee the comprehensive planning of park and green space projects, aiming to establish long-term visions and strategies for pursuing a green city through landscaping and urban planning.

On the 5th, Busan City announced that on the 4th, it appointed five university professors from the Busan area as Master Planners to participate in the establishment of the "2040 Busan Park and Green Space Master Plan."

The Park and Green Space Master Plan is a statutory plan established every ten years under the "Act on Urban Parks and Green Areas," designed to comprehensively present directions for the expansion, management, and utilization of parks and green spaces.

The Master Planners will go beyond a simple advisory role and directly participate in the formulation of the Park and Green Space Master Plan.

The Master Planners consist of experts from five fields in the Busan area.

They are ▲ Kim Dong-pil, Professor of Landscaping at Busan National University ▲ Choi Yeol, Professor of Urban Planning at Busan National University ▲ Jeong Heon-young, Professor of Transportation at Busan National University ▲ Lee Gwang-guk, Professor of Architecture at Dongmyung University ▲ Jeong Byeong-gil, Professor of Environment at Dong-Eui University.

Busan City plans to incorporate a green smart city vision into this master plan together with the Master Planners.

The policy is to establish a rational and sustainable park and green space master plan where people and nature coexist.

Following the appointment ceremony, a "2040 Busan Park and Green Space Master Plan Progress Report Meeting" was held, where the Master Planners reviewed the progress and basic concepts so far.

Kim Dong-pil, Professor at Busan National University in charge of landscaping, said, "I feel renewed to participate as a Master Planner in a project that envisions a 100-year plan for Busan’s parks and green spaces," adding, "I will devote my efforts to presenting a proper future vision for parks and green spaces."

Lee Geun-hee, Director of the Green Environment Policy Office of Busan City, stated, "We will establish long-term goals and implementation plans for parks and green spaces considering the conditions of the Busan area by gathering expert opinions."

He added, "We will make Busan a 15-minute park and green space city and a carbon-neutral green smart city so that urban residents can find leisure in life and feel happiness."
