[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City has rolled up its sleeves to designate the lower Nakdong River area as a National Urban Park.


Busan City announced that it will hold the first meeting of the 'National Urban Park Public-Private Council' for the designation of a National Urban Park at 2:30 PM on the 12th in the 22nd-floor conference room of City Hall.


Busan City is promoting a plan to designate 7.5 million square meters (2.27 million pyeong) of the lower Nakdong River area as the country's first National Urban Park to lead the maintenance of indiscriminate development areas within the Western Busan development restriction zone and to achieve balanced development between east and west.


Earlier in October, Busan City formed a public-private council to reflect the opinions of citizens and experts.


The meeting will be attended by city officials and private members including Kim Seung-hwan, Standing Representative of the National Urban Park Nationwide Private Network, Kang Ho-yeol, Secretary General of the Busan River Restoration Citizens' Movement Headquarters, and Professor Joo Ki-jae.


The meeting will gather opinions from various sectors on ▲ sharing progress on the Macdo 1 million pyeong Green City project ▲ win-win cooperation and development directions for the promotion of National Urban Park designation ▲ review of major issues and problems related to the project.


The city plans to collect opinions from citizens and experts to explore the direction of project promotion and win-win cooperation measures.


In in-depth discussions, it is planned to agree that the public-private council’s role will go beyond advisory and opinion-giving to directly participate in the designation of the National Urban Park.



Lee Geun-hee, Director of the Green Environment Policy Office of Busan City, said, “We will review the presented opinions and reflect them in the plan to promote the designation of the National Urban Park, and continue to create opportunities to communicate with citizens.”
