Pohang Memorial Park Site, Signal for Guryongpo Support... Creation of Cultural and Childcare Hub

LH Social Contribution Project Final Selection Secures 1 Billion KRW Budget

Planned Memorial Park to Remodel Women's Center in Nultaeri, Guryongpo

Pohang City has been finally selected for the ‘Generation Empathy Sharing+ Social Contribution Project Contest’ organized by Korea Land and Housing Corporation.

After being finally selected for the "Generational Empathy Sharing+ Social Contribution Project Contest" hosted by Korea Land and Housing Corporation, Lee Gangdeok, mayor of Pohang, and the staff of the responsible department are taking a commemorative photo on the 26th.

This contest was established to revitalize the region and respond to population and local crises by upcycling idle spaces in the area. Pohang City was selected for the project by remodeling the Guryongpo-eup Women’s Center and will receive approximately 1 billion KRW in project funding from LH.

Through this project, the city plans to remodel the Guryongpo-eup Women’s Center, located in the Nultaeri area of Guryongpo-eup, to create a cultural space that encompasses all generations from children to the elderly, as well as a hub for childcare support in Guryongpo-eup.

The city will sign a business agreement with Korea Land and Housing Corporation and its project partner, Habitat Korea, and will complete the remodeling by the first half of 2025 after going through procedures such as design and selection of construction companies.

Guryongpo-eup was finally selected as the site for the memorial park after a review by the Memorial Park Construction Promotion Committee in June. In response, Pohang City is accelerating the establishment of a comprehensive regional development plan by discovering various additional projects and providing full support, in order to make this area a model case for promoting essential facilities in addition to the existing benefits.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok said, “This women’s center remodeling project will serve as a signal for supporting Guryongpo-eup following the selection of the memorial park,” and added, “We plan to create a space in Guryongpo-eup that serves as a hub for cultural activities and childcare support for all generations, so that all residents, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy cultural life.”
