[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Songjeong Station Hot Place Project has taken its first step.

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Park Byung-gyu) announced on the 1st that it held the first 'Gwangju Songjeong Station Hot Place Project Collaboration T/F On-site Meeting' around Gwangju Songjeong Station on the 31st.

This project is a key initiative of the 8th term of Gwangsan-gu aimed at developing Songjeong Station, the gateway to Gwangju, into the region's top cultural tourism attraction.

Under five core strategies?▲restructuring the hot place commercial district ▲improving the 1913 Songjeong Station Market space ▲building urban landscape infrastructure ▲creating an urban regeneration platform ▲optimizing the transportation environment?Gwangsan-gu has set 11 major focus tasks.

To enhance the synergy effect of individual projects, a collaborative T/F team consisting of six departments, including the Corporate Economy Division and Job Policy Division, has been formed and is currently operating.

Following recent departmental preparation status reports, the first on-site meeting involved field officers visiting key project sites such as Gwangju Songjeong Station Plaza and the 1913 Songjeong Station Market to check the progress of mid- to long-term tasks and discuss ways to systematize project linkage and collaboration.

In particular, the meeting focused on project tasks aimed at making Gwangju Songjeong Station a stay-and-tourism type attraction, including the creation of adjacent front plazas, to ensure it holds a status befitting the 'gateway to Gwangju.'

The district plans to establish a field-centered project promotion system centered on the collaborative T/F and to develop detailed execution plans going forward.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “This project’s core is to increase synergy by integrating various fields such as commercial districts, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism, making interdepartmental collaboration more important than anything else. We will do our best to quickly produce results from short-term tasks and fundamentally transform the Gwangju Songjeong Station area in the long term.”
