Seodaemun-gu, headed by District Chief Park Ungi, announced on the 27th that it will hold meetings with urban renewal project associations and district officials in the district chief's conference room over three days: October 29 and 30 and November 2. District Chief Park will meet in turn with association heads and other representatives from each district to hear about project progress and requests. The head of the Urban Renewal Bureau and division chiefs in charge of housing renewal, urban planning and downtown development will also attend.

On October 29, he will meet with representatives of Hongeun District 5, Hongje District 3, Hongeun District 15 and Hongje District 4, as well as the Hongje Station Area Revitalization Project. On October 30, he will meet with representatives of Bukgajwa District 6, the Hongje Station area, the Hongje and Muakjae Station areas, and Mapo-ro District 5-2. On November 2, the meetings will cover Bukahyeon District 2; the area around 9-81 Hongje-dong, including Munhwa Town and Gaemi Village; the area around 360 Hongje-dong; and the area around 1-5 Hyeonjeo-dong.

The district plans to review the requests through the relevant departments and discuss matters requiring coordination between departments before deciding on follow-up measures.

“Urban renewal projects transform residents' living environments, so they must be grounded in residents' wishes and transparent procedures,” District Chief Park said. “I will hear directly about the challenges facing each district and identify concrete ways the administration can help.”
