Changwon Special City Establishes Plan for 'Jinhae Modern Historical and Cultural Space'

Interim Report Meeting Held for Comprehensive Maintenance Plan Establishment Service

On the 10th at 10 a.m., Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held a mid-term report meeting for the 'Jinhae Modern Historical and Cultural Space Comprehensive Maintenance Plan Establishment Project' in Meeting Room 3, aiming to create a modern historical and cultural space through systematic preservation and utilization of modern cultural heritage.

The city plans to actively reflect the review opinions and suggestions from experts in various fields who attended the mid-term report meeting into the comprehensive maintenance plan under development, and to steadily promote the creation of the modern historical and cultural space through continuous consultations with the Cultural Heritage Administration.

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held a mid-term briefing session for the 'Jinhae Modern Historical and Cultural Space Comprehensive Maintenance Plan Establishment Project'.

The company conducting the project has carried out a basic academic survey over the past eight months to establish a master plan, collecting various verification materials that reveal the urban transformation process of Jinhae. Based on this, they plan to draw a blueprint for the next 100 years of Jinhae’s modern historical and cultural space by preparing preservation-type landscape guidelines and mid- to long-term management, preservation, maintenance, and utilization plans for continuous management of the modern historical space.

The original downtown area of Jinhae is a place where traces of modern urban planning combining radial and grid structures remain in buildings and spaces. Not only the modern historical and cultural space creation project but also the Chungmu District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project, Southern Area Wide-area Tourism Development Project, and Jinhae Naval Port Commercial Renaissance Project are being promoted, so it is expected to contribute to revitalizing the original downtown of Jinhae by pursuing synergy effects linked with these projects and implementing projects that embody Jinhae’s unique value and identity, differentiated from other regions.

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “The Jinhae modern historical and cultural space is a place where the history of Korea’s modern and contemporary era breathes alive, and we will make every effort to establish a comprehensive maintenance plan so that it can become a successful model for the preservation and utilization of cultural heritage.”
