Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam regional cooperation

Overview

The Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions have moved toward increased integration through sports initiatives and formal political agreements. Initially, Ulsan proposed a joint bid with Busan and Gyeongnam to host the 2038 Asian Games, aiming to minimize infrastructure costs by utilizing existing regional facilities.

Following this, the metropolitan and provincial councils of the three regions signed a joint cooperation declaration. This agreement establishes the ‘Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Council for Supra-regional Development’ to collaborate on shared policy tasks, secure national funding, and manage future industries such as shipbuilding, maritime affairs, aerospace, and artificial intelligence. The cooperation also focuses on expanding metropolitan transportation networks to create a ‘one-hour living zone’ and integrating regional culture and tourism.
