The county set the overall direction as a project for urban branding and commercial district revitalization in Jungdong, in accordance with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's guidelines.

From 2024 to 2027, 30 billion KRW will be invested to create platforms and plazas centered on experiential play themes, build infrastructure bases applying smart technology, and combine hardware and programs, including specific project details to establish a unique urban brand exclusive to Jungdong.

During the discussion chaired by Professor Kim Seok-ho of Gyeongnam National University, various opinions were presented on strategies for local branding, the necessity of linking with local creators, and detailed roles of operating entities.

In particular, considering the regional characteristics with high potential for population inflow such as nearby experiential facilities like the subtropical botanical garden and insect ecology learning center, as well as the opening of the Future Education Center, the idea of developing content to attract visits to the Jungdong district to increase dwell time and living population gained persuasive support.

A county official said, “We appreciate the passionate discussions by residents to create a sustainable and vibrant city. We will comprehensively collect opinions and refine the plan to do our best to ensure that the Jungdong district specialized urban regeneration project is selected in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport contest.”

The final selection of the Jungdong district urban regeneration activation plan will be decided by the end of this year through eligibility verification, document evaluation, on-site inspection, presentation evaluation, and central evaluation.
