On the 6th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it has selected seven advisory architects to work together from the architectural planning stage to create the seven pilot Regional Vitality Towns selected last month, reflecting the unique characteristics of each region, in collaboration with the respective local governments.


Regional Vitality Towns are projects that provide various customized housing options and integrate essential living services such as care, jobs, and leisure to respond to the crisis of local extinction and promote sustainable settlement.

These advisory architects will not only suggest directions for complex and housing construction but will also participate from the planning stage of the Regional Vitality Towns, communicating with the region (local governments, residents, and prospective tenants) and playing a pivotal role as overall coordinators.



Kim Jeong-hee, Director of Land Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “We will actively cooperate with local governments and advisory architects to create livable Regional Vitality Towns so that those wishing to move to rural areas can settle into their new lives more easily.”
