The Pyeongtaek vision announced that day consists of four major strategies: Nature, Waves, Hub, and Daily Life.

To this end, the city has prepared a systematic forest trail maintenance plan for eight major mountains including Baegunsan, Buraksan, and Maansan, and proposed plans to create large-scale arboretums and parks. Specifically, it suggested the creation of Maansan Eco Healing Park, Deokdongsan Natural Ecological Forest Garden, Songtan Park Healing Forest, and Buyongsan Park.

Along with this, the city also revealed plans to create a 'Wave-Shining Ecological Garden City' by utilizing the water resources of the Pyeongtaek River and Jinwicheon Stream.

In particular, to accommodate the population increase due to rapid urbanization, the city declared plans to develop Hambaksan Central Park, Mosan Park Five-Color Theme Garden, Eunsil Park, Jije Station Area Park, Cheongbuk District Leports Park, and Pyeongtaek Station Complex Cultural Plaza as urban hub gardens.

Additionally, the city plans to build citizen-participatory gardens by utilizing leftover land, vacant lots, and alley entrances within villages.

Jang-seon Jeong, Mayor of Pyeongtaek City, said, "We will do our best to leap forward as a city where nature and people coexist, a garden city."
