to Enhance Urban Dignity

On the 19th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held the Changwon City Public Sculpture Review Committee, composed of nine members including public officials, city council members, professors, and architects, to ensure systematic installation and efficient management of public sculptures.

Changwon City held a Public Sculpture Review Committee meeting.

In order to prevent the indiscriminate proliferation of public sculptures, Changwon City enacted the "Ordinance on the Construction and Management of Public Sculptures in Changwon City" in 2015, establishing standards for construction and management. The committee reviews and decides on matters related to the installation, relocation, and removal of public sculptures.

On this day, the review committee discussed the installation of a symbolic sculpture at the rotary in Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu. The committee members engaged in in-depth discussions on various aspects of the sculpture installation, including its location, symbolism and public nature, and management plan.

Deputy Mayor Cho Myeongrae stated, "Changwon is called an 'open-air museum' because a variety of artworks and sculptures are displayed throughout the city," adding, "We will do our best to ensure that future public sculptures possess public functionality and symbolism, and contribute to urban revitalization by improving the cityscape."
