On August 6, Guri City announced that it held the ‘9th Term Elected Mayor Campaign Promise Project Report Meeting’ in the city hall’s situation room, presided over by Mayor Shin Donghwa, to review the implementation plans, promotion strategies, and funding measures for each area of its campaign promises.

To concretize the 9th term administration’s slogan, “Bold Challenges, Shining Guri,” the city established four main administrative policies: ▲ Growth City Pioneering the Future ▲ Transportation City Connected in All Directions ▲ Innovation City Driving Change ▲ Happy City Where Everyday Life and Living Shine. Supporting these, Guri City has finalized 100 major campaign promises across ten key areas.

Among these 100 promises, many are major pending projects that will significantly alter Guri’s growth trajectory and transportation landscape.

Examples include the relocation of GH to Guri, stopping the GTX-B line at Galmae Station, extending Subway Line 6 and Myeonmok Line for expansion of the northeastern metropolitan transportation network, developing the Topyeong 2 District as a future-oriented self-sufficient industrial city, and establishing an advanced e-commerce logistics hub in San-dong.

Additionally, Guri City will promote projects closely tied to residents’ daily lives, such as fostering a self-sufficient city where businesses and jobs gather, revitalizing local small businesses, responding to the climate crisis, establishing an intelligent safety network, promoting culture and the arts, advancing AI-based digital administration, and strengthening education and welfare.

At the report meeting, participants focused on detailing phased implementation plans for each promise and strengthening interdepartmental cooperation systems. Key issues also included actively securing external funding, such as national and provincial subsidies, and efficiently allocating the city’s limited budget resources, in response to the current fiscal climate.

In particular, Mayor Shin emphasized “field-oriented administration” that reflects citizens’ voices throughout every stage of the campaign promise implementation process.

Mayor Shin stated, “These campaign promises are solemn commitments for Guri City’s future progress and for improving residents’ quality of life. We must operate our limited resources efficiently and actively seek external funding to achieve tangible results that residents can truly feel.”

Meanwhile, based on the discussions at this report meeting, Guri City aims to promptly supplement and finalize the implementation plans for its campaign promises, and will focus on systematic and transparent management through field communication, operating a citizens’ evaluation group (Manifesto Citizens’ Evaluation Group), and disclosing information on the city’s official website.
