Suwon City announced that it founded and operates a Landscape Innovation Circle for employees of city hall, business offices, and district offices as of September 23.
According to the city, the circle marks the first instance in Suwon where 38 members from various departments including forestry, civil engineering, and administration have formed and are participating in the Landscape Innovation Circle.
The landscape circle is working to create world-class parks through discussions involving professional civil servants who participate in the process from basic planning to completion for themed parks, pocket parks, school forests, and Gwanggyo Mountain development projects.
The main activities include identifying problems through discussions and presenting improvements, discovering innovative ideas, conducting regular on-site experiences to enhance the personal expertise of personnel in the green space sector, and analyzing large-scale construction projects from design through construction processes to create masterpieces.
On October 17, the circle visited Gwanggyo Park, a large-scale park development project site, focusing on water features and Younghung Sports Park, conducting a comprehensive inspection of necessary improvements and issues before project completion, and requested that the construction site address and improve approximately 20 items.
Additionally, on October 25, the circle attended a presentation report on the basic planning project for Jowon Park at the City Hall Innovation Forum and held a discussion, which identified approximately 10 issues for improvement and took corrective measures.
The Landscape Innovation Circle meticulously oversees work from the planning stage through completion to deliver masterpieces to citizens.
A city official stated, "We will continue to recruit officials interested in landscape design and are preparing a Landscape Innovation Circle workshop for December 15-16 as a one-night, two-day program to strengthen innovation activities."
The city is also preparing an ambitious plan to cultivate civil servants as professional groups through special lectures by park planning experts as well as leadership training.
Going forward, the city expects that the Landscape Innovation Circle activities pursued in Suwon will contribute significantly to both budget savings and improved mindset among civil servants.
