The Cultural Heritage Administration held a training session for local government officials titled "Training for Local Government Officials in Charge of Revitalizing Modern Historical and Cultural Spaces" at the annex auditorium of the National Palace Museum of Korea on April 16. The session focused on introducing the restructured project framework implemented in February. Key changes included: ongoing acceptance of space registration applications, a dual system for space management (basic and intensive), strengthened support such as design reviews, establishment of criteria for changes to existing conditions, and linking with the modern and contemporary cultural heritage district system.

The subsequent presentations shared utilization cases of the Tongyeong Modern Historical and Cultural Space following its restoration, as well as collaboration cases with other ministries, such as urban regeneration projects.

Lectures by external experts were also held. Architect Son Myungmoon, who designed "Terarosa Gyeongju," presented architectural strategies for balancing the preservation of historical landscapes with commercial vitality. Professor Jon Mok Lin from the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University proposed strategies to maximize value by building regional brands, using the Seongsu-dong case as an example.
