The "Urban Regeneration Stamp Tour" is a program designed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to allow the public to directly experience the achievements of urban regeneration projects and feel the appeal of local communities. It will be held at 40 locations in 10 cities nationwide, selected for their outstanding project outcomes linked to local history and cultural assets, as well as their abundant tourism resources.

Participants can visit the certified locations and automatically collect stamps based on GPS through a dedicated mobile app (Stamp Tour) until December 14.

The short-form contest will accept entries until November 30, and the winners will be announced in December.

Outstanding entries will receive awards from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Grand Prize, 2 million won) and the President of the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (Excellence Prize, 500,000 won each).
