The event consisted of screening a promotional video of Ulsan, presenting Ulsan’s future vision, dialogue with citizens, and commemorative photo session in that order.

Mayor Kim Du-gyeom presented Ulsan’s current status, future direction, and his administrative philosophy to the citizens through the presentation of Ulsan’s future vision.

Mayor Kim defined the 8th elected administration as a period to sow seeds for Ulsan’s future, emphasizing that he would find the land to sow good seeds and build a prosperous Ulsan with abundant nutrients.

He also presented specific directions for this.

▲ Lifting development restrictions to restore the distorted urban spatial structure, secure industrial sites, and improve residential conditions such as education and medical care ▲ fostering new future growth industries to strengthen Ulsan’s competitiveness in the rapidly changing global market, such as establishing a hydrogen mobility industry-academia cooperation cluster, nurturing genome and bio industries, and building a 3D printing industry base.

▲ Advancing Ulsan’s three major core industries through the transition to eco-friendly automobile industry, smartification of shipbuilding and marine industries, and high-tech petrochemical industry ▲ Creating a city rich in life, including building a world-class performance hall over the Taehwa River, a youth shopping town, and a K-pop academy.

During the ‘Dialogue with Citizens’ session, joined by Ambassador Lee Yong-sik, honest and diverse stories from citizens were exchanged without a fixed format or pre-prepared questions.

The conversation freely covered a wide range of topics, from current social issues such as rising prices, first-time home ownership for young adults, insufficient jobs, and population decline, to light questions about Mayor Kim’s hobbies and usual interests.

Mayor Kim Du-gyeom said, “It has already been 100 days since the launch of the 8th elected administration. It feels like we have been running breathlessly for Ulsan in a short time. This year, we will mark the first year of ‘Great Ulsan Being Newly Made’ and will strive endlessly with citizens to restore Ulsan’s status as an industrial capital that is truly Ulsan.”

He promised, “We will continue to create opportunities to communicate comfortably with citizens in the future.”
