Gyeonggi Convergence Town Completes 15-Year Construction... 5,000 People from 7 Institutions Including Gyeonggi Provincial Government Now at Work

Gwanggyo Gyeonggi Convergence Town in Suwon, which houses the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, recently completed its 15-year development with the opening of the 'Gyeonggi Garden' to the public.

Gyeonggi Convergence Town is home to seven organizations, including the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and Gyeonggi Provincial Council, Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, Bank of Korea Gyeonggi Headquarters, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, Gyeonggi Provincial Library, and Ui 119 Safety Center. The number of resident personnel alone reaches about 5,000.

Initially, this site was intended solely for constructing new buildings for the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Gyeonggi Provincial Council. However, in line with the purpose of bringing together various administrative and public organizations to provide integrated administrative services to residents, the development direction shifted in 2016 to the current 'convergence and complex town' model, accommodating multiple related institutions such as the Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation and the Bank of Korea Gyeonggi Headquarters.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Government and Provincial Council buildings were completed in October 2021. The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and Ui 119 Safety Center were completed in April 2023, and the Gyeonggi Provincial Library in February 2025, with public and administrative facilities being completed sequentially.

In addition, major public and policy institutions such as the Bank of Korea Gyeonggi Headquarters, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) headquarters and multipurpose complex, and Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, as well as private mixed-use residential facilities, have all opened, thereby establishing a true convergence and complex urban model. This marks the completion of a large-scale convergence town development, 15 years after design services began in 2011.

Gyeonggi Convergence Town Panorama

The Gyeonggi Provincial Government explained that with the creation of Gyeonggi Convergence Town, agencies can work in closer policy cooperation thanks to reduced interdepartmental travel times and the ability to conduct regular in-person policy consultations for joint initiatives. Users can also handle administrative, knowledge, and cultural services in a one-stop fashion with a single visit.

Recently, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government established an open and integrated communication space at the center of the town, linking rest and meeting areas organically by positioning eco-friendly green spaces and communication plazas such as Gyeonggi Garden and Gyeonggi Damteul.

Park Jaeyoung, Director of the Construction Headquarters of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Thanks to the persistent interest shown by residents over a long period, we were able to successfully complete the construction of Gyeonggi Convergence Town." He added, "We aim to make it the best open landmark in Gyeonggi Province, not just an administrative complex, but a place where anyone can come, enjoy culture, and communicate."
