[Inside Gyeongin], with 17 million Gyeonggi Incheon residents, will look into the current status and challenges of Goyang Special City, a large city in northern Gyeonggi Province that is running toward a population of 1.1 million, with Mayor Lee Dong-hwan. Goyang Special City may seem affluent at first glance as a new city, but it actually has many concerns. Goyang City currently has a population of 1.08 million, and although it wants to grow beyond Seoul’s bedroom town into a competitive city with plenty of jobs, it is suffering due to strict regulations. Since the entire city of Goyang is designated as a congestion control area under the Capital Area Development Plan Act, it is impossible to designate an industrial area. As a result, Goyang City does not have a single industrial complex. Because there are no industrial complexes and there are many restrictions due to congestion control area regulations, companies are leaving for southern Gyeonggi Province, and Goyang City is not able to fully utilize its locational advantages. Goyang City is promoting a free economic zone to attract companies while avoiding over-congestion control zone regulations... Following its designation as a candidate site in 2022, a vision declaration ceremony was held early last year, and a resident briefing session on the overall free economic zone was held last month. The Goyang Free Economic Zone is expected to be an opportunity to reinvent the economy of Goyang City. We will hear directly from Goyang Special City Mayor Lee Dong-hwan about the current status and outlook for the zone, including efforts to attract the international campus of the prestigious University of Birmingham in the UK. 0601~2112 [Inside Gyeongin] Website https://news.kbs.co.kr/vod/program.do... ▣ Report ◇ KakaoTalk: Search for 'KBS Tip' ◇ Phone: 02-781-1234 ◇ Website: https://goo.gl/4bWbkG ◇ Email: [email protected] Copyright ⓒ KBS.
