[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Osan City has embarked on a major initiative to systematically design the city's future while preparing to realize a self-sufficient city of 500,000 residents and enter the era of a one-trillion-won budget.
On the 2nd, the city held a first interim report meeting on the '2040 Osan City Mid- to Long-term Comprehensive Development Plan' at the city hall situation room, sharing future strategies and visions encompassing all aspects of urban development. The meeting was attended by Mayor Lee Gwon-jae, a vice mayor, department and division heads, and approximately 50 related officials.
The '2040 Mid- to Long-term Comprehensive Development Plan' is a future strategic plan being formulated by the city to secure mid- to long-term urban competitiveness and improve citizens' quality of life. Through this plan, the city is focusing on maximizing the city's unique potential and competitiveness, while identifying policy tasks that citizens can tangibly experience.
This project is in the phase of concretizing mid- to long-term strategies for the entire city, centering on 6 core sectors: △residence, urban development, and transportation △industry, economy, R&D, and agriculture △culture, tourism, and sports △environment, safety, disaster management, and green spaces △health, welfare, and education △administration and decentralization of local autonomy. The city is conducting a thorough analysis of the current status and challenges in each sector, and designing implementation strategies to proactively respond to future changes.
The report meeting shared the city's future vision and strategic tasks by sector (draft) established based on departmental interviews, citizen surveys, and expert consultations conducted from January to March. Based on this, the city focused on refining implementation directions and fleshing out improvements for each task.
The city plans to refine strategic tasks based on field voices presented at this report meeting and carry them forward as effective implementation plans linked to the eighth elected administration's core policies.
In particular, with major projects such as the Segyo District 3 development, the establishment of Unam Plain AI City, and the promotion of a semiconductor parts and materials specialized city in progress, the city will also work in parallel to expand infrastructure to support urban growth and formulate strategies in the economic, education, and welfare sectors.
Mayor Lee Gwon-jae said, "In preparation for population growth from the Segyo District 3 development, we will pursue a development strategy to secure the city's future competitiveness and achieve sustainable urban growth," and added, "Going forward, we will develop policies that citizens can experience and that can drive substantive change."
