Promotion of Special Act for Designated Cities ... Institutional Foundation Expected for 50 Years of Changwon's Future

President Yoon Announces Enactment of 'Special Act for Special Cities' at 23rd Public Livelihood Forum

President Yoon Suk-yeol announced the promotion of the enactment of a special law for the four special cities of Changwon, Suwon, Goyang, and Yongin at the 23rd Public Discussion on Livelihood held in Yongin on the 25th.

Accordingly, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam stated that the government's plan to enact the "(tentative name) Special Law for Special Cities," which will provide a support promotion system for special cities and serve as the legal basis for administrative and financial support and authority acquisition, is expected to be an important institutional foundation for Changwon City's leap forward over the next 50 years.

A National Assembly forum held in February last year for the enactment of the Special Act on Special Cities.

So far, Changwon City, together with the three special cities (Suwon, Goyang, and Yongin in Gyeonggi Province), has continuously worked to establish the basis for supporting special cities by preparing the "(tentative name) Special Law for Special Cities" bill, proposing its legislation to the National Assembly, central government ministries, and the Local Era Committee, and holding discussion forums.

Mayor Hong Nam-pyo said, "To discuss the specific direction and details of the '(tentative name) Special Law for Special Cities,' we will actively cooperate with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to secure substantial authority in organization, finance, and planning, and use it as an institutional foundation for regional development such as future-oriented industrial innovation and urban development," adding, "We will also actively propose changes to the criteria for special cities outside the metropolitan area to the government."
