The Resident Participation Committee (Chairman Lee Dong-hwan, hereinafter referred to as the Committee) is a public-private cooperation body where citizens discover various issues, seek alternatives, and participate in overall city administration. It conducts activities to realize practical public-private cooperation, such as expert roundtables and specialized training.

Composed of two subcommittees, ‘Economic City’ and ‘Education and Culture,’ the Committee identified a total of 41 agenda items through 22 subcommittee meetings this year. After focused discussions including research, field visits, and review of best practices, it decided to propose 12 agenda items to the city administration.

Additionally, the Committee reviewed the draft annual operation plan for 2025 and agreed to promote smooth and efficient operation of the Committee.

Mayor Lee Dong-hwan of Goyang Special City stated, “One of the most important capabilities of a special city is local autonomy, and the core of local autonomy is not a top-down policy decision led by the government but the realization of public-private cooperation. True local autonomy is achieved when policies are implemented and evaluated by the hands of citizens.”

He added, “The Resident Participation Committee has actively participated in discovering various issues in Goyang City and seeking alternatives, demonstrating the true value of a special city. We look forward to its continued active engagement.”
