South Korean urban regeneration initiatives

Overview

Various regions in South Korea are hosting events to promote and discuss urban regeneration and community-led development.

Paju City scheduled the 2026 Urban Regeneration Festa for late October at the Geumchon Eoullim Center. The festival aims to unify regional achievement sessions into a single event to share progress with citizens and discuss future regional directions through exhibitions, site tours, and cultural performances.

In Jeju Province, the ‘Jeju City Forum 2026’ was organized to review a decade of urban regeneration achievements and establish new directions for regional sustainability. The forum includes sessions on transforming policies, creating tourism and art hubs in old downtown areas, and designing public architecture. The event also features citizen-participation programs such as the ‘Urban Space Experiment Pop-up’ and the ‘2026 Jeju Old Downtown Autumn Picnic’ to help residents experience urban space transformation.
