Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has been actively holding neighborhood Residents' General Assemblies starting from Gireum 1-dong on May 31. The assemblies are scheduled to conclude on June 22 in Jeongneung 1-dong.

Through the Residents' General Assembly, residents directly propose and discover village agendas, discuss and deliberate together, and finally approve the next year's resident autonomy plans. Each neighborhood's Residents' General Assembly proceeds in the order of ▲Resident Autonomy Committee operation report ▲Signing of the Seongbuk-style Resident Autonomy Joint Promotion Agreement ▲Deliberation process and resident voting on project plans ▲Selection of 2024 resident autonomy plan agendas and proclamation of the resident autonomy plan.

On June 8, the Residents' General Assembly was held in Jongam-dong, and on June 14 in Jangwi 2-dong and Jangwi 3-dong respectively.

Prior to the event, 124 people participated in advance voting to encourage more resident participation.

In the cases of Jangwi 2-dong and Jangwi 3-dong, despite population decline due to housing redevelopment and most original residents relocating, many local residents participated, filling the venue and demonstrating high interest and willingness to participate in resident autonomy.

The resident autonomy plans decided according to the voting results of each neighborhood Residents' General Assembly will be linked and implemented in 2024 through the 'Seongbuk-style Resident Autonomy Activity Support Project' and 'Resident Autonomy Dong-level Plan-type Projects.'

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "We look forward to the ever-renewing appearance of Seongbuk through the realization of Seongbuk-style resident autonomy where residents are the owners via the Residents' General Assembly," and added, "The district will continue to provide generous support to meet those expectations."
