Furthermore, the city plans to complete the vision of 'Hopeful Change, Happy City Gwangju' by implementing various policies for sustainable development, including △ expansion of road infrastructure such as new road construction and widening and paving of existing roads △ revitalization of the local economy with the concept of 'closely and densely' △ activation of the Naturalchae Food Farm Center △ creation of water-friendly spaces along Jikri Stream and improvement projects for polluted tributaries.

Mayor Bang Se-hwan urged, “Please boldly discard policies that are impossible to implement and propose effective supplementary measures to achieve goals, so that projects can be carried out swiftly. When promoting projects, thoroughly publicize and guide so that citizens do not have questions about the progress, and actively promote the results to increase citizens' perception of the city administration.”
