Daegu Dong-gu Office announced on the 24th that it has completed the installation project of heatwave mitigation facilities at Banyaweol Samgeori in Yonggye-dong by investing 1.07 billion KRW.
The Banyaweol Samgeori heatwave mitigation facility installation project involved creating a cascade-style fountain and an observatory at Banyaweol Samgeori, the gateway to Daegu, to contribute to summer heatwave response and urban heat island reduction. It also aimed to enhance the symbolic significance as a regional traffic hub and provide a resting place for local residents to overcome the summer heat.
