[Seoul District News] Emphasis on Establishing a Performance-Oriented Organizational System to Advance Key Pledges of District Mayor Lee Sunhee

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Soon-hee), marking one month since the inauguration of the 8th local government, has carried out an organizational restructuring to swiftly advance key campaign projects.

The core of the restructuring, effective from August 1, includes ▲ the establishment of the Redevelopment and Reconstruction Support Team directly under the mayor ▲ and the creation of the New Gangbuk Line Promotion TF Team. The focus appears to be on establishing a performance-oriented organizational system to support the execution of the 8th local government’s campaign projects.

■ Establishment of the Mayor’s Direct ‘Redevelopment and Reconstruction Support Team’ ? Overall Management of Redevelopment and Reconstruction Maintenance Projects

First, the newly established Redevelopment and Reconstruction Support Team, directly under the mayor, serves as the control tower overseeing Gangbuk-gu’s redevelopment and reconstruction maintenance projects. It comprehensively promotes housing maintenance projects reflecting Gangbuk-gu’s future vision.

The support team operates the ‘Redevelopment and Reconstruction Maintenance Project Expert Advisory Committee,’ composed of experts in architecture planning, urban planning, and transportation. This is to promote efficient maintenance projects through customized administrative services tailored to each project area.

Additionally, various services related to housing maintenance projects will be provided. These include conflict mediation arising from noise and traffic during development, as well as professional consultations such as legal advice and appraisal services.

■ Establishment of the ‘New Gangbuk Line Promotion TF Team’ for Improving Gangbuk Area Transportation Infrastructure

The district also established the ‘New Gangbuk Line Promotion TF Team’ to improve the transportation environment in the Gangbuk area. The main goal is to eliminate regional disparities through the expansion of transportation infrastructure.

The New Gangbuk Line is an urban railway connecting 4.19 Democratic Cemetery Station to Sangbong Station, passing through Lines 1, 4, 6?7, the Ui-Sinseol Line, and the soon-to-open Dongbuk Line. The TF team will promote the New Gangbuk Line by ▲ enacting ordinances ▲ forming a policy advisory group ▲ conducting feasibility studies for attracting the New Gangbuk Line.

Furthermore, the team plans to continuously cooperate with members of the National Assembly, city councilors, neighboring autonomous districts, Seoul City, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to ensure the New Gangbuk Line is included in Seoul’s urban railway network construction plan.

In addition, projects such as the early opening of the Dongbuk Line and extension of the Ui-Sinseol Line terminus are also being considered to improve transportation infrastructure in the Gangbuk area.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “We hastened the organizational restructuring equipped with execution capabilities to smoothly carry out the core campaign projects of the 8th local government. We will respond to the trust and confidence given by the residents by advancing these projects swiftly and without setbacks.” She added, “We will also faithfully implement other campaign promises such as relaxing altitude restrictions in Bukhansan, expanding the Ui-dong family camping site, and preventing stalking and dating violence crimes.”
