The citizen planning group will participate directly in the master plan formulation process, proposing a wide range of ideas regarding Guri City’s future vision and strategies. A total of 32 members were selected through a public recruitment process conducted in August and September, and they will be divided into four subcommittees: economy & safety, housing & welfare, culture & transportation, and environment & education.

During the launch ceremony, appointment certificates were presented to the citizen planning group members, an overview of the master plan was provided, and subcommittee discussions were held.

Mayor Paik Kyunghyun stated, “The citizens are the true owners of Guri City, and the power to shape our city comes from their wisdom and passion. As the citizen planning group takes on the important role of designing Guri City’s future together, I look forward to seeing meaningful outcomes through the four planned workshops.”

Starting with this first meeting, the citizen planning group will hold a total of four workshops through November, ultimately formulating the vision and strategic plan for the 2040 master plan. Afterward, the process will include a public hearing, gathering opinions from the city council, and consulting the city’s urban planning committee, with the final approval to be requested from Gyeonggi Province in the first half of 2026.
