The goal is to establish an organizational system for “comprehensive and consistent policy implementation,” with key changes including the establishment of the Education, Culture, and Sports Bureau, the reorganization of the Happiness Welfare Bureau, and the creation of new teams to strengthen the functions of redevelopment promotion.


The Education, Culture, and Sports Bureau will oversee the fields of children, youth, education, and culture, comprising the Departments of Culture and Sports, Education Support, Youth Policy, and Children and Adolescents. The existing Welfare, Culture, and Sports Bureau will be reorganized into the Happiness Welfare Bureau to strengthen the role of the dedicated welfare organization and provide better welfare services to residents.


The Redevelopment Promotion Team of the Housing Maintenance Department has been divided and expanded into Redevelopment Promotion Team 1 and Redevelopment Promotion Team 2. Through this, the office plans to strengthen the redevelopment promotion tasks for the Bukahyeon and Gajaeul redevelopment promotion districts.


Mayor Lee Seongheon stated, “This organizational restructuring is being implemented to focus support on the fields of children, youth, education, culture, and welfare, and through this, we will do our best to realize 200% happiness for our residents.”



The district expects that this organizational systematization, aimed at more effectively implementing the goals of the 8th elected administration, will enhance residents’ happiness and strengthen regional development.
