Seongnam-Nagoya urban and industrial cooperation

Overview

Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin conducted a three-day visit to Nagoya, Japan, from August 23 to 25, 2026, to establish a cooperation framework with Nagoya Mayor Hiroshi Ichiro. The two cities agreed to share expertise regarding high-tech industries, medical-care systems, and strategies for addressing super-aging societies.

As part of the visit, the Seongnam delegation inspected home-care medical institutions and long-term care facilities to study Japanese models for elderly care. These observations are intended to inform Seongnam’s ‘Seongnam-style end-of-life care at home’ policy.

Further discussions included benchmarking stadium construction at Vantelin Dome Nagoya for a planned project in Seongnam, as well as meeting with the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) to coordinate the 17th Asia Sustainable Transport (EST) Forum, which Seongnam is scheduled to host in 2027.
