This year's comprehensive performance evaluation brought together representatives from 64 regions that completed urban regeneration projects in 2024 at the Daejeon Urban Industrial Support Platform. Each region presented directly before the evaluation committee, assessing the achievement of project goals, regional revitalization, and ripple effects. The committee then conducted a comprehensive review based on 11 criteria and selected outstanding institutions in the completed project and operation management categories.

Taebaek City won the grand prize in the completed project category based on the "Taebaeksan Foot Jangseong Tantan Village Urban Regeneration Project," which was carried out from 2018 to 2024. The city's residential area support-type urban regeneration model in the Jangseong area was highly praised for revitalizing the city center by renovating aging residential areas, improving living environments, and establishing key facilities.

Additionally, during the presentation, Taebaek City received strong positive feedback from the evaluation committee for persuasively presenting: ▲ achievements in improving aging residential areas through urban regeneration, ▲ strategies for regional renewal based on newly established key facilities, and ▲ a future vision of transforming from a former mining area into an energy city based on clean methanol.

This award is nationally recognized proof that Taebaek City's urban regeneration projects are making a tangible contribution to improving residents' quality of life and boosting regional vitality.

A Taebaek City official stated, "It is very meaningful to receive the grand prize at the Urban Regeneration Comprehensive Performance Evaluation," adding, "We will focus our administrative capacity on successfully completing ongoing urban regeneration projects and, in particular, ensuring that the new urban regeneration project in the Samsu area is selected."
