South Korean municipalities Gwangmyeong and Suncheon have begun outlining their administrative and business strategies for 2027. Gwangmyeong City is conducting departmental reports to identify new projects for the upcoming ninth local election term and reallocate resources by phasing out outdated initiatives. Suncheon City is focusing on ecological-based growth and strategic industries, including aerospace, defense, and green bio, while expanding medical services and satellite ground station development.

Gwangmyeong City has further detailed a specific initiative to become a ‘Constitution-friendly City.’ Following a local ordinance enacted in September, the city plans to integrate constitutional values and citizen sovereignty into its administration. This multi-year roadmap includes forming a local government council, establishing a creation committee by 2027, and implementing age-specific educational programs to help citizens understand their rights and responsibilities.
