Holding a Faculty Policy Meeting

Focused Discussions on Young Gwangsan Youth, Education, and Urban Planning

Choi Chi-hyun, a preliminary candidate for the Gwangsan-gu (Eul) constituency in Gwangju Metropolitan City, gathered opinions to realize the previously proposed ‘8 Major Blue Visions.’

On the 28th, Candidate Choi held a policy advisory professors’ meeting and vowed to devote all efforts to transforming Gwangsan into the best city with a high quality of life, a young city where youth want to settle, and a livable city for young people.

At the meeting, they discussed two major tasks: ▲construction of the Honam-centered southern metropolitan area and ▲promotion of the establishment of the Gwangsan District Second Office, as well as six major pledges: ▲economy policies that make life worth living, ▲education policies nurturing future generations, ▲youth policies that resonate with the younger generation, ▲prosperous cultural policies, ▲welfare policies satisfying everyone, and ▲climate response policies that save the environment and economy, focusing on more concrete and realistic implementation plans.

The five policy advisory professors attending the meeting?I Myeong-gyu, professor at Gwangju University; Shin Woo-jin, professor at Chonnam National University; Park Hee-joo, CEO of Luxium Energy; Dr. Jo Dong-hyeok; and Jung Sook-hee, professor at Nambu University?agreed that candidates’ pledges must be accompanied by realism and specificity, and that the 8 visions should become genuine pledges leading the future development of Gwangsan by deeply discussing overseas cases, predictable data, and even budgets.

In particular, they expressed the opinion that solid policies should be central to ensuring that young people do not leave Gwangju and can establish themselves as local talents. They also anticipated that initiatives such as ‘youth housing, Gwangju-type youth basic income, and a sharing system to resolve transportation issues’ would have considerable effects.

Preliminary candidate Choi Chi-hyun stated, “A city where young people find life worth living is vital for regional vitality and development,” and expressed his determination to discover more realistic policies and measures through communication with local youth, including youth meetings.

He continued, “The Gwangsan-gu (Eul) area, which includes Suwan and the High-tech District, is a region with a high quality of life,” emphasizing, “We are continuously preparing various policy plans and concrete measures to make it the best residential area satisfying residents, and we will definitely accomplish this.”

The policy advisory professors said, “Given Candidate Choi Chi-hyun, born in the 1970s, and his experience and capabilities accumulated in local government, central government, and the Blue House, this is entirely possible.”
