Democratic Party Candidate for Yangcheon District Mayor Kim Soo-young Signs Policy Agreement with Hope Institute on the 10th

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim Soo-young, the Democratic Party candidate for Yangcheon District Mayor, signed a policy agreement on Hope Making with the civic think tank Hope Institute (Director Lim Joo-hwan) on the 10th.

The Hope Making policy agreement aims to establish a community social innovation system that designs, develops, and advances new ideas to meet the demands and needs of residents based on resident participation and public-private cooperation.

To this end, both parties will jointly research and implement innovative policies for the sustainable development of the Yangcheon area, resident capacity-building projects where residents discover problems themselves, study alternatives, and solve them, and the establishment of an ecosystem that revitalizes the local economy using local people and resources.

Candidate Kim Soo-young said, “Taking this policy agreement as an opportunity, we will jointly research and practice regional development strategies that harmonize people, technology, and nature, such as a balanced city equipped with disaster response capabilities, a win-win city where everyone prospers together, and a carbon-neutral city overcoming the climate crisis, together with the Hope Institute.”

At the signing ceremony, Lim Joo-hwan, director of the Hope Institute, urged candidate Kim Soo-young to become the foundation of hope for the local community by realizing people-centered social values and through challenging social innovation programs.

The Hope Institute has conducted social invention and social innovation research based on citizen participation and has researched and implemented innovative policies with many local governments. Currently, the Hope Institute is seeking alternatives to jointly address the era’s challenges of population decline and the climate crisis.
