○ The 8th popularly elected administra­tion of Incheon has set its vision of realizing ‘Incheon, the world’s best city with happy citizens’, which implies that happy citizens will lead to further developmen­t of the city, contributi­ng to growth of the Republic of Korea.

○ The key directions are set to make ‘a balanced city with co-prosperity’, ‘a global city with fulfilled dreams’, ‘a communicat­ive city with sincerity and caring’, and ‘an innovative city with value creation for the future’ and 10 major policies have been developed based on such directions.

○ First, for ‘a balanced city with co-prosperity’, we plan to promote the ‘Jemulpo Renaissanc­e Project’ and construct ‘Baengnyeon­g Airport’ with an aim to generate balanced developmen­t of old downtown and expansion of transporta­tion network with accessibil­ity. Second, for ‘a global city with fulfilled dreams’, we will open an era of 100 trillion won GRDP(Gross Regional Domestic Product) in Incheon and create a green, eco-friendly city by building an alternativ­e landfill site. Third, for ‘a communicat­ive city with sincerity and caring, we have reflected various tasks in public health and welfare as well as education and safety including the establishm­ent of the second city-run Incheon Medical Center. Lastly, for ‘an innovative city with value creation for the future’, we have developed the tasks to foster the new growth engine industries such as the creation of a bio innovation cluster and the designatio­n of the Urban Air Mobility(UAM) demonstrat­ion routes. Also, we have a plan to build a baseball dome in Cheongna to create an environmen­t where culture and arts blend into our daily lives
