Gyeongsangnam-do will once again host an urban regeneration policy forum, following the previous one held in June.

The provincial government announced on September 18 that it will hold the "2025 3rd Urban Regeneration Policy Forum" at 1:30 p.m. on September 19 in the main conference room of the provincial government building.

This forum is hosted by Gyeongsangnam-do, organized by the Gyeongsangnam-do Urban Regeneration Support Center, and co-organized by the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council and the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements. The event will feature expert presentations and panel discussions.

Presentations will be given by Kim Itak, CEO of Urban and Future, who will discuss "Urban Regeneration Strategies for Balanced Growth in Regional Small and Medium Cities"; Lim Sangyeon, research fellow at the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, who will address "The Necessity of Post-Management in Urban Regeneration and Local Government Response Measures"; and Park Jin-ho, head of the Gyeongsangnam-do Urban Regeneration Support Center, who will present on "Current Status and Sustainable Strategies for Urban Regeneration in Gyeongsangnam-do."

The following expert panel discussion, under the theme "Establishing Post-Management Measures for Sustainable Urban Regeneration," will be chaired by Choi Yeol, member of the Central Urban Planning Committee. Panelists include Jeong Heeseong, member of the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council; Son Giuk, Director of Future Development in Hamyang County; and Jang Byeongsu, head of the Miryang Cultural City Center.

The forum aims to identify improvement tasks related to urban regeneration issues and discover practical support projects through discussions, based on mutual cooperation among national, metropolitan, and local governments.

Previously, on June 16, Gyeongsangnam-do co-hosted the first urban regeneration policy forum with Yangsan City at the Gyeongnam Research Institute.

At that event, the provincial government discussed new directions for urban regeneration in response to changes in the national urban policy, and delivered opinions and policy proposals to the central government regarding the importance of a sustainable operational system and post-management in urban regeneration.
