100 Bucheon Teenagers Dream and Discuss Future of Bucheon in 20 Years
“In 2030, I will have my kids. So I wish there’s no entertainment shops for adults nearby schools. And no more private education.” said Hojeong Seo, a student from Somyeong Women’s High School, who lives in Jong-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon City, South Korea.“There would be lots of buildings in Bucheon City, in 2030. Those buildings mean lots of job positions.” said Suwon Seo, a student from Somyeong Women’s High School, who lives in Jong-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon City, South Korea.
“I want to be a journalist for politics when I grow up. Bucheon City would be a Mecca of politics.” said Daehyun Chae, a high school student from Jungheung High School, living in Sosabon-3-dong, Sosa-gu, Bucheon City, South Korea.
“I like libraries and cultural spots for teenagers such as Cartoon Center and Bucheon Youth Center in Bucheon City. Bucheon City would build up the largest library in the world in 2030. So it would make Bucheon City famous for the City of Culture much more.” said Choongjae Lee, a high school student from Wonmi High School, living in Dodang-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon City, South Korea.
These are images for ‘Close Future of Bucheon’ that teenagers in Bucheon City imagine at ‘100 Teenagers’ Discussion for Bucheon City Master Plan in 2030’ which was held by Bucheon Committee for Long-lasting Development, 10 am to 6 pm, February 26, 2013, at Communication Hall in Bucheon City Hall, Bucheon City, South Korea.
Bucheon City has run ‘Citizen’s Proposal Group’ which citizens participate all the steps from making plans to implementation for the future blueprint of Bucheon City in 20 years, ‘Bucheon City Master Plan in 2030’ together with citizens.
Bucheon City already completed recruiting volunteers for the proposal group last January 18 to 20, 2013. So the city organized the proposal group including all kind of social class such as city-related specialists, residents, councilpersons, and businessmen.
The participants of the conference who are students from middle or high schools and live in Bucheon City will be middle-aged in 20 years. They are the right people who design the future of Bucheon and will live in the future that they dream of.
The city runs ‘The Citizen’s Proposal Group’ to prepare the future of Bucheon City, ‘The Bucheon that Citizens Hope and Enjoy’, not for administrators but from participation of citizens and acceptance of their desires.
Starting the conference by teenagers of the proposal group on February 26, 2013, several conferences will be held in a row; ‘Thinking on Proposals’ at Wonmi-gu Office on March 9, ‘Preparing Proposals’ at Sosa-gu Office on March 16, and ‘Making Proposals’ at Ojeong-gu Office on March 23.
