The government has decided to designate at least one in each of the five new towns, including Ilsan, Bundang, Middle East, Pyeongchon, and Sanbon, as a kind of demonstration complex for the reorganization of the first new city.
Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong held a meeting with the heads of local governments in the first new town and decided to designate at least one leading district for each of the five new towns, but local governments familiar with local conditions gathered opinions from residents and selected them directly.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is planning to include the grounds for designation of the leading district and guidelines in the 1st New City Reorganization Special Act, which is scheduled to be introduced in February 2023.
