[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The joint promotion team of the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Special Local Government will hold residents' briefing sessions at the Gyeongnam Provincial Government Office on the 22nd and at the Gyeongnam Provincial Government Western Office on the 23rd.

This briefing session was organized to raise awareness among Gyeongnam residents about the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Mega City, scheduled to launch next year, to build consensus on the necessity of its promotion, and to collect opinions.

The Mega City is a strategy to address the polarization between the metropolitan area and non-metropolitan areas and the extinction of local regions. The joint promotion team, formed last July, is preparing for the launch of the Mega City in the first half of next year.

The briefing session will proceed in the order of introducing the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Special Local Government and reporting on the promotion status, expert presentations on policies to be promoted by the Special Local Government, and a Q&A session.

Due to the recent spread of COVID-19, on-site attendees were selected in advance as a minimum number composed of representatives from occupational and social organizations by city and county. Any interested residents can participate through the YouTube online live broadcast.

Lee Jae-hyung, Secretary General of the Joint Promotion Team, said, "For the Mega City to succeed, understanding and support from local residents are essential," adding, "We hope many people will take an interest and participate to establish governance involving both public and private sectors."
