Namyangju City said on November 6 that it had held five strategy meetings since October to review the direction and implementation plans for its pledged projects. Based on proposals from the Citizens' Sovereignty Committee, the city reviewed how projects across departments could be coordinated and whether they were feasible, and organized the pledges under four strategies: “innovation, self-sufficiency, balanced development and happiness.”

To build a self-sufficient economy, the city will develop an advanced industrial cluster in Wangsuk and work to attract businesses. It will also introduce a Namyangju-style development gain recovery model, revitalize neighborhood commercial districts, and establish a “Namyangju-style RE100 energy-independent city.”

Expanding the transportation network is central to balanced development. The city plans to improve rail links, including Lines 3, 6, 8 and 9 and the GTX, and expand the road network. This area also includes reorganizing bus routes, reducing apartment management fees, building a smart disaster safety platform, and creating a combined cultural and leisure space along the waterfront.

In the area of innovative administration, the city will increase opportunities for the mayor to hear residents' views in person through the “Let's Meet the Mayor” initiative. It also plans to build a citizen participation platform called “Citizens' Sovereignty Plaza” and operate “Namyangju Membership,” an artificial intelligence (AI)-based administrative service.

To promote happiness in daily life, the city will develop a Runners' Station and specialized running courses, and operate the Senior Wisdom Bank and Namyangju Citizens' College. It also plans to expand cultural performances in local neighborhoods and create the “Joseon Royal Heritage History and Culture Belt.”

The city plans to finalize its pledges and implementation plans after a meeting of the Pledge Implementation Evaluation Group in December, and then publish them on its website.
