Previously, between February and May, the city collected 586 resident-proposed projects through local meetings in towns and districts. Of these, 389 projects were selected and submitted to the general meeting after review by the subcommittees of the Resident Participation Budget Committee.


At the general meeting, the agenda was approved as originally proposed, confirming 389 resident-proposed projects and two regional development specialized projects (worth 200 million KRW), including the Dolsan Bridge entrance rotary landscape improvement project, as budget items for the next year.



Mayor Chung Kimyung stated, "The resident participation budget system, where residents directly propose projects and participate in decision-making, is the foundation of local autonomy. We will do our best to ensure that the practical, community-centered projects identified are reflected in next year's budget so that citizens can truly experience improvements in city administration."
