This visit was promoted to experience the environment of city hall construction in other local governments and to concretize a customized model unique to Namyangju City.

Namyangju City first visited Sejong City Hall to observe the know-how of space utilization reflecting Sejong’s history and characteristics, and then visited Chungnam Provincial Office to study innovative city hall operation models.

In particular, this benchmarking focused not only on simple space utilization but also on reviewing eco-friendly architectural techniques and design construction cases intensively.

Additionally, Namyangju City closely analyzed practical operation cases and issues encountered during implementation to create a city hall that satisfies both citizens and public officials by enhancing operational efficiency and citizen convenience.

A Namyangju City official said, “Based on various cases obtained from other local governments, we will ensure that Namyangju’s new city hall establishes itself as a future city-type city hall. We will do our best to create an open administrative space where citizens and public officials can work together, beyond just a simple city hall.”

Going forward, the city plans to comprehensively analyze insights gained through various benchmarking efforts and systematically reflect them in the new city hall design, concentrating administrative power on creating a future-oriented city hall that embodies the characteristics of Namyangju.

Meanwhile, the city is operating the ‘New City Hall Construction Promotion Committee’ and ‘TF Team’ with the goal of constructing the new city hall by 2031, and it is expected to lead regional development and contribute to improving citizen welfare as a future city-type public building that meets the standards of a 1 million mega city.
