[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 9th, Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, visited Gangseo-gu as the twelfth destination of the ‘15-Minute City Busan Vision Tour’.

Busan City is promoting the ‘15-Minute City Busan’ policy to build an urban environment infused with artificial intelligence (AI) technology and realize a carbon-neutral green smart Busan.

Mayor Park met with residents of Gangseo-gu at the Myeongji Vehicle Registration Office and directly explained the vision of the ‘15-Minute City Busan’.

He held a ‘Happy Talk with Gangseo Residents’ with District Mayor Noh Ki-tae, the 15-Minute City Consensus Policy Group, about 90 Gangseo residents, and related officials.

Due to quarantine guidelines, about 60 residents who could not attend in person participated in the Happy Talk online.

Mayor Park said, “With the construction of the Gadeok New Airport, along with the establishment of a logistics tri-port, Gangseo-gu’s status as the gateway city of Busan will be further elevated, and it will establish itself as a first-class city equipped with urban infrastructure and jobs.”

Mayor Park directly explained the ‘15-Minute City Busan’ and also listened to the opinions of the attending Gangseo residents.

Mayor Park explained, “The core of the 15-Minute City Busan is to enable citizens to carry out most of their daily lives within a short distance through densely built living infrastructure, thereby regaining leisure in life and further implementing a carbon-neutral and green smart city to create a sustainable global environment.”

He added, “We will analyze and promote what the 15-Minute City policy suitable for the urban characteristics of Gangseo-gu should be based on the four living zones (Daejeo·Gangdong, Myeongji, Garak·Noksan, Gadeok).”

Residents of Gangseo-gu proposed to Mayor Park the following: ▲early commencement of the Nakdong River crossing bridge ▲early commencement of the Hadan~Noksan urban railway line ▲creation of Daejeo Compact City ▲support for the construction of Gangseo Open Cultural Center ▲support for improvement of Myeongji neighborhood park facilities ▲early commencement of the second convention center in the western Busan area ▲relocation of Myeongji Energy Resource Center ▲water quality improvement of Pyeonggangcheon and Maekdo River ▲plans for utilization of Gangseo Sports Park.

Mayor Park plans to visit the remaining four districts and counties he has not yet visited by the end of the year to continue communication and cooperation with citizens.
