The committee was established based on the "Promotion Plan for Redevelopment, Reconstruction, and Related Projects," which Mayor Ryu approved after taking office. Its role is to monitor the progress of maintenance projects initiated by residents and provide support as needed. The district explained that this was the first official item approved in the ninth mayoral administration.

The committee consists of a total of 15 members: 7 internal members including Chairman Ryu, the vice mayor, and the director in charge of maintenance projects, along with 8 external experts in the fields of urban planning, architecture, transportation, law, appraisal, and maintenance projects. At the first meeting, participants shared the current status of maintenance projects in the district, key issues by area, process management strategies, and the committee’s direction for operations.

To identify delays in maintenance projects early, the district has established a four-stage process management system: inspection, judgment, analysis and resolution, and feedback. During the inspection phase, delays are identified based on each project's process management plan. The judgment phase involves grading the progress to single out projects with a high likelihood of delay.

If a delay is confirmed, the analysis and resolution phase involves diagnosing the cause and developing solutions through support for administrative procedures and expert consultation. The feedback phase manages whether corrective actions have been implemented. The district stated that it is currently promoting 85 projects, including redevelopment and small-scale maintenance projects.

Mayor Ryu Samyoung stated, "Maintenance projects are crucial as they transform the future of the district and residents’ lives; therefore, it is important to enhance both speed and quality. By bringing together the capabilities of administration and experts centered around the Maintenance Project Promotion Committee, we will improve the quality of these projects and create changes that residents can truly feel."
