Gwangmyeong City Mayor Park Seung-won will host the ninth Gwangmyeong Citizens’ 500-Person Roundtable Discussion at the Gwangmyeong Citizens’ Gymnasium under the theme “Gwangmyeong, Again: A City Envisioned by Its Citizens.”

In the first part of the discussion, participants will consider key policies in eight areas, including jobs and the local economy, a basic society and care, transportation and safety, and future growth and urban development. After the discussion, they will vote to select the policies to be prioritized.

In the second part, participants will form small groups based on their areas of interest and propose projects needed in their communities. All participants will vote to select the top three proposals. The city plans to review whether it can incorporate the policy priorities and citizen proposals identified at the discussion into city administration and budget planning, and to inform residents of the results.
