[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 8th that it held a meeting to smoothly promote projects by forming an administrative consultative body to promote ‘Cultural City Jinju’ and establish an organic public-private governance at the city hall cultural lecture room.

The meeting was attended by the Director of the City’s Culture and Tourism Bureau, heads of departments in the administrative consultative body, and officials from the Jinju City Cultural City Support Center.

The administrative consultative body, which will spread the value of cultural cities as a creative and sustainable regional development strategy and discover unique local cultural contents to present to citizens, is composed of 22 departments across four fields: administrative support, culture and arts, cultural welfare, and cultural environment.

The administrative support field provides budget support, and the culture and arts field promotes various projects such as resident-led activation plans for everyday culture.

The cultural welfare field discovers projects for culturally marginalized groups, and the cultural environment field promotes the expansion of cultural facilities in the region and the discovery of new content projects.

Kim Cheon-su, Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, said, “It is very important to organically connect various projects in not only culture and arts but also urban development, resident-led cultural projects, and cultural welfare policies. Please create a city where culture flows throughout the entire city.”
