Gwangmyeong Mayor Park Seung-won "Will Expedite Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City in Alignment with Government"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Mayor Park Seung-won of Gwangmyeong City emphasized, "We will concentrate our efforts on expediting the Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City project in alignment with the government's push to accelerate new city development."

At the 'Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City Expert Advisory Meeting' held on the afternoon of the 29th in the city hall's video conference room, Mayor Park stated, "Since the government is emphasizing improvements in administrative procedures and collaboration among relevant agencies to accelerate new city supply, Gwangmyeong City will also respond proactively to ensure the project proceeds without delay."

Previously, at the Real Estate Policy National Grand Debate held on the 23rd, President Lee Jae-myung stated, "We are reviewing ways to cut the development period for the 3rd New City in half," expressing his commitment to innovating administrative procedures and strengthening collaboration among relevant central government agencies, local governments, and public institutions.

As the central government takes steps to improve systems and strengthen cooperative frameworks to expedite new city supply, Gwangmyeong City is also pursuing a policy to accelerate project implementation and strengthen execution capability in line with these efforts.

Mayor Park stated, "In line with the government's policy direction, we will closely cooperate with relevant agencies to expedite project implementation, while concentrating all administrative resources on creating a self-sufficient city representing southwest metropolitan area equipped with housing, jobs, and transportation."

The city plans to closely cooperate with the government and relevant agencies including the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) to preemptively identify and resolve project delays and actively support the Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City development as planned.

In particular, in line with the government's policy to accelerate new city development, the city plans to strengthen administrative support for licensing and coordination among relevant agencies, and proactively respond to major issues that arise during project implementation to speed up progress.

Additionally, Gwangmyeong City plans to enhance the quality of the new city alongside speed. The city will continuously consult with relevant agencies to ensure that the government's policy to expand high-quality public rental housing is fully reflected in the Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City, creating a residential environment where young people and newly married couples and other homeless residents can settle stably.

Meanwhile, the meeting was attended by field experts in urban planning, housing, and transportation, who reviewed the business promotion strategy and key issues for smooth implementation of the Gwangmyeong-Siheung 3rd New City, and consulted on response directions in accordance with changes in government policy.
