Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province plans to create a specialized street around Seongnam Art Center by the first half of next year, designed as a space where citizens can relax, celebrate festivals, and interact.

On the 2nd, Seongnam City announced that it held the final report meeting for the detailed design service of the 'Seongnam Art Center Surrounding Specialized Street Creation Project.' This came three months after the kickoff meeting held in May. Following administrative procedures, Seongnam City will complete the specialized street by the first half of next year.

Seongnam City intends to link the 850-meter sidewalk along Seongnam Art Center and the 3,000㎡ plaza area to create an open space suitable for relaxation, festivals, and interaction. Until now, the area around Seongnam Art Center had been closed off and isolated due to dense planting of roadside green belts and a lack of resting facilities, resulting in very low citizen usage.

In particular, through this specialized street creation project, Seongnam City will fully open the front part of the plaza and refurbish it into a lawn-type cultural plaza. Additionally, the streetscape will be improved by thinning out densely planted trees to secure visual openness and then creating resting spaces.

At the final report meeting, Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin expressed his expectations, saying, "If the specialized street around Seongnam Art Center is developed into an open cultural plaza where citizens can freely use and frequently visit, Seongnam Art Center will undergo a major transformation into a landmark of Seongnam City."
