Gangdong-gu (District Mayor Lee Su-hee) announced on the 14th that the Myeongil-dong Academy Street will be developed into a user-centered space through a workshop held by the 'Gangdong Naetteutdaero Academy Street Council.'


The Myeongil-dong Academy Street development project was selected in early 2023 through the '2023 Seoul Urban Landscape Project' contest, securing a project budget of 1 billion KRW and is currently underway. In March, a naming contest for the development area was held targeting students attending schools around the academy street and district office officials, with the name 'Gangdong Naetteutdaero Academy Street' being finally selected.


The district office plans to reflect users' opinions as much as possible during the street development project. Accordingly, a council was formed consisting of members with a deep understanding of the area, including residents, students, parents, teachers, merchants, police officers, and public officials.


Through two council workshops held in July and August, time was spent understanding the regional characteristics and current status, and sharing opinions on measures and solutions. Above all, it became an opportunity to reach a consensus on the direction that Myeongil-dong Academy Street should take.


Based on the council's opinions, the district plans to proceed with design and planning, aiming to complete construction in 2024. Additionally, from 2025, various programs will be linked to increase the utilization of the space.



Lee Su-hee, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, stated, “Through the council activities with a high understanding of the region, Myeongil-dong Academy Street will be newly transformed,” adding, “In particular, I hope it will be developed as a healing space where students tired from studying can take a short rest.”
