Approximately 200 people will attend the event, including Mayor Park Hyungjun, Yeongdo-gu Mayor Kim Kijae, National Assembly Member Cho Seunghwan, Director of the National Maritime Museum Kim Jonghae, city and district council members, local entrepreneurs, and the Empathy Policy Group.


The event will proceed in the following order: PT presentation, policy briefing, discussion and Q&A, performance, and commemorative photo session.


The '15-Minute City' is a journey co-created by citizens. Unlike the previous district visits that focused on meeting residents, the city has planned the '15-Minute City Vision Tour' in stages to communicate policy agendas.


While Season 1, held last year, aimed to share the vision of the 15-Minute City, Season 2, being conducted this year, aims to activate citizen participation throughout the entire policy cycle, including planning, decision-making, implementation, and evaluation.


'Vision Tour Season 2' began in March in Saha-gu and is being sequentially held in all 16 districts and counties. This event is the ninth in the series and will take place in Yeongdo-gu.


At the event, local residents will directly propose the 'Cheonghak Area Integrated Community Cultural Facility Construction Project,' and attendees will participate in discussions and a preference survey on the topic.


The 'Cheonghak Area Integrated Community Cultural Facility Construction Project' will invest a total of 15.6 billion KRW by 2027 to build a complex center with a total floor area of approximately 2,450 square meters, spanning from one basement level to five above-ground floors on the site of the Cheonghak Market public parking lot. The center will house an administrative welfare center, a children's integrated cultural facility, the Haha Center, a lifelong learning center, and a community health center.

Through this project, it is expected that high-quality administrative, welfare, and cultural services will be provided to residents of the Cheonghak area, where such facilities are relatively lacking, thereby revitalizing the local community.


Mayor Park Hyungjun stated, "Since policy tasks are both conceptual plans and proposals, we plan to proceed step by step after establishing detailed plans in consultation with Yeongdo-gu Office and related organizations. We ask for the continued interest and support of citizens in promoting policy projects closely related to the daily lives of local residents."
