The Yangsan City 2030 Green City Roadmap was completed after about two months of revisions following the interim report meeting on November 3. While maintaining the basic direction and strategic framework presented at the interim meeting, the city supplemented and expanded certain strategies and projects by incorporating feedback and addressing issues raised during the planning process.

The final roadmap sets the implementation period from 2026 to 2030 and, like the interim report, is structured around five sectors-climate crisis, ecological environment, living environment, resource circulation, and infrastructure development-across 15 fields. However, the final version expands the scope to 44 implementation strategies and 113 major projects (compared to 42 strategies and 110 projects in the interim report), thereby broadening the range of strategies and detailed initiatives.

During the final report meeting, the city focused on sharing updates reviewed after the interim meeting, including strategies for encouraging local businesses to participate in the roadmap, expanding eco-friendly building projects to the private sector, creating ecologically friendly waterfront parks centered around Hwangsan Park, promoting urban greening and responding to pine wilt disease, and advancing integrated water management to ensure public safety.

Mayor Na Dongyeon stated, "The Green City Roadmap serves as a comprehensive standard that unifies Yangsan City's environmental policies and marks the starting point for moving toward 'Yangsan, the City of Green Breaths.' Now, we must go beyond planning and translate these initiatives into concrete actions and results within each department's work, so that citizens can experience real change in their daily lives. We will do our utmost to achieve this."
