Ulsan City Holds Field-Oriented Meeting to Pursue Garden City Initiative
Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom Encourages Green Space Workers
Seeking a Sustainable Garden City Harmonized with Gardens
On the morning of the 16th at 10 a.m., Ulsan City will hold an on-site focused meeting toward becoming a garden city at the Citizens' Hall on the first floor of the City Council.
This event has been organized to gather opinions from field workers in the green space sector and to encourage them, aiming for the successful hosting of the 2028 International Garden Expo and the development of a sustainable garden city where gardens blend with the industrial city.
With the attendance of over 130 field workers from the green space sector of the city, Ulsan Facilities Corporation, and district offices, including Ulsan Mayor Kim Dookyum, the event will include an explanation of the main status and greening projects of the Ulsan City Green Garden Bureau, followed by a discussion on future directions for development.
Looking at the development direction of Ulsan City's green garden sector, a city-district urban greening council will be formed to strengthen cooperation for advancing as a garden city. Plans include creating specialized streets by introducing garden plants under street trees and adjusting tree shapes.
In addition, vacant lots near residential areas in the city center will be turned into gardens, and the growth environment of existing trees will be improved through soil enhancement and fertilization work.
Furthermore, to ensure the successful hosting of the International Garden Expo, the city plans to encourage the participation of companies reflecting the characteristics of an industrial city, establish an organic cooperation system among citizens, companies, and the administration, and actively promote the transformation of the Samsan and Yeocheon landfill sites into venues for the International Garden Expo.
