Setting the Direction of Guro-gu Urban Development Master Plan with 100 Residents... Deriving 10 Future Visions Including Future Industry Creative Talent Development, Carbon Neutrality, Pleasant Residential Environment, Cultural Hub, and Transportation IT

Guro District (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced on the 1st that it has derived a vision for the district's future together with 100 residents to establish a mid- to long-term basic urban development plan.

On the 30th of last month, Guro held a future vision workshop attended by over 130 people, including the resident participation group, chief planners, and field experts from the Urban Development Promotion Committee, to draw out the development direction of Guro 30 years from now.

At the workshop, the resident participation group presented urban development plans by division, and after a three-week long journey, they finally delivered 10 future visions for Guro, designed with the target year 2050, to District Mayor Moon Heon-il.

The future visions for Guro desired by the residents are: ▲ Guro with creativity and a future in industry ▲ Guro as a city fostering future industry-creative talents ▲ Guro for carbon neutrality ▲ Guro with a pleasant residential environment ▲ Guro as the origin of culture in West Seoul ▲ Guro continuing a unique cultural life ▲ Guro with safe alleyways ▲ Guro that is safe and walkable ▲ Guro safe through transportation IT ▲ Guro with a convenient and welcoming transfer center.

To gather residents' opinions from various perspectives, the district formed a 100-member resident participation group divided into five sectors (housing, industry, culture, safety, transportation). Over three weeks, the group engaged in sector meetings, expert forums, and various discussions to produce these results.

District Mayor Moon Heon-il said, “As this is the first basic urban development plan established since the division of Guro District, we aimed to implement it as a true process of resident autonomy. I thank everyone for taking time out of their busy lives to think about the future of our city together, and we will do our best to make Guro a place where future generations want to live.”

Going forward, the district plans to establish the basic urban development plan reflecting Guro’s future vision through in-depth discussions with the Urban Development Promotion Committee, targeting completion by the end of next year.
