Daejeon City will be sharing its vision for the future of parks and green spaces with its citizens, aiming to transform the city into a sustainable green metropolis.

A public hearing will be held on February 28th at the old Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Office's conference room to gather feedback from experts and citizens on the "2030 Daejeon Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan."

The city plans to comprehensively review the existing master plan and present a strategic direction that prepares for the future in line with the changing policy environment.

To achieve this, four goals and promotion strategies have been established: ▲Creating premium parks that enhance landmarks and urban competitiveness ▲Building parks for everyone that realize customized parks for each life cycle ▲Strengthening the connection of urban infrastructure to improve accessibility ▲Advancing operation and management to strengthen park services.
