[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young Reporter] Suwon City is announcing an open recruitment for Urban Project Directors (PDs) through the 2nd of next month.

An Urban PD is a private-sector expert who oversees and manages design activities and administrative procedures in the process of implementing public projects, including design planning, idea generation, and budget execution plans.

The 15 Urban PDs to be appointed this time (7 in the urban design and architecture field, 4 in the urban landscape and gardening field, and 4 in the visual, industrial, and environmental design field) will serve a one-year term from their appointment date, with the possibility of reappointment.
