Suwon Unveils Four-Year Blueprint for the Completion of the Suwon Great Transformation

Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province has set "Completion of the Suwon Great Transformation" as its vision for the 9th popular election, with three major municipal administration goals: "A City of Livelihood Stability for Citizens," "A City of Mutual Growth through Culture and Tourism," and "A City of Advanced Science and Research."

On September 10, Suwon City held the "Suwon Great Transformation Promotion Team Final Report Meeting" in the City Hall Medium Conference Room and presented the vision, principles, and objectives for the ninth elected administration.

The Suwon Great Transformation Promotion Team, which was launched in June, operated three separate divisions: Affordable Livelihood City, Cultural Tourism Hub City, and Advanced Science Research City. Through these teams, the direction for the ninth local administration was established and a four-year municipal operational plan was created. The promotion team was composed of experts from various fields, governance bodies, organizations, and members of civil society groups.

The Suwon Great Transformation Promotion Team reviewed the new administration’s pledges and citizens’ proposals, gathered public opinion, and through deliberation established 60 municipal projects to realize the administration's goals and objectives.

The Livelihood Safety City for Citizens is a city that brings peace of mind and more financial leeway to daily life by reducing residents’ living expenses. Key initiatives include: ▲Promoting free bus rides and bus fare support ▲Expanding daily life-focused welfare support ▲Creating pleasant urban environments such as the Saebit Garden ▲Establishing specialized streets like the Palsek-gil ▲Expanding and managing veteran public servant distinctions ▲Transforming Saebit Toktok into an AI-powered civic discussion platform, among a total of 25 initiatives.
