This meeting was organized to identify local issues and policy agendas from the citizens' perspective and to strengthen the committee's capacity for policy proposals. Appointed committee members, including Vice Chairperson Lee Inhee, attended and engaged in enthusiastic discussions.


The programs at the meeting included the identification of policy agendas and group discussions by sector, strengthening policy proposal and discovery capabilities, and learning about exemplary cases of urban idle space remodeling.


The committee members freely shared their opinions on local issues they experience in daily life, seeking policy proposals with direct citizen participation and practical development strategies.


In particular, at the Dreaming Art Center-a cultural and arts education space created by remodeling the former Chuncheon City Office of Education-the participants shared ideas that could be applied to Namyangju, such as cases of local revitalization based on culture and the arts.


Starting with this extraordinary meeting, the city plans to strengthen the operation of regional subcommittees and to activate small-scale meetings and discussions to enhance the effectiveness of the committee's activities.


Additionally, the city will expand opportunities for committee members to participate in municipal affairs, broaden the scope of citizen policy participation, and strengthen the foundation for cooperation and communication between the administration and citizens.


Mayor Joo Gwangdeok stated, "At the heart of every policy and project our city is pursuing are the voices of our citizens and the suggestions and concerns of the Super Growth Committee," adding, "We will continue to provide support so that the diverse opinions presented by the committee can be actively reflected in municipal administration."



Meanwhile, the Super Growth Committee is comprised of experts and local representatives from diverse fields, transcending generations, genders, regions, ideologies, and social classes, and is responsible for providing advice and proposals on major city policies.
