challenging issue at the moment—to make Seoul the global capital of climate and

environment, develop a healthy and pleasant living environment and pursue long-

term sustainable urban development.

An Energy Initiative for the Future Generation.

The “One Less Nuclear Power Plant” initiative illustrates the aim of Seoul

Metropolitan Government to leave a healthier and safer city for future generations

by enhancing energy self-supply from new and renewable resources like solar

power, taking on the challenge of saving energy in a city with high energy

consumption, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions which are the main culprit of

global warming.

Korean Environmental Protection Agency(KEPA) issued the Guideline for the

3rd Waste Management Plan to local governments in September, 2010.

The Guideline asked the plan to define achievement of waste management

during the 2nd plan, natural, humanistic and economical phenomena influencing on

waste treatment and outline, prediction of influential factors, waste management

indexes, detail projects and fiscal policies in the 3rd plan

Dr. Yoo will introduce Seoul Waste Management Plan established in early 2012.

■ Site Visits

Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project, a two-year restoration process that played

a pivotal role in Seoul's future vision of an environment-friendly urban space.

Visit to Cheonggye stream and museum will offer participants the chance to learn

about the stream's turbulent history, from being buried underground to being

restored. The stream helps to cool down the temperature on the nearby

areas by 3.6 degrees centigrade.

Cheonggye stream

Built on May 1st, 2002, the World Cup Park was once a 15-year-old landfill

that held over 92 million tons of garbage. It took 6 years to stabilize the waste

(measures were taken to prevent the garbage runoff from contaminating the

environment) and an additional year to build the actual park itself.

The park is located near the Seoul World Cup stadium, and is made up of five

smaller parks including the Pyeonghwa 'Peace' Park, Haneul 'Sky' Park, and

Noeul 'Sunset' Park. The park takes up a 1.05 million-pyeong area.

Nanjido Island is located in the outskirts of Han River, and acted as a landfill from

1978 until 1992. After its closure in 1993, through ecological restoration, the

landfill became city parks, such as World Cup park, Haneul Park and

Nanjihangang Park, receiving massive interest from citizen’s of Seoul.

Mapo Resource Recovery Facility, which is located to the side of the parks, is a

state-of-the-art high technology incineration plant emitting pollution-free gas and

providing regional heating acquired during the process for the local 20,000

residents.

3-1) SHRDC

■ Seoul Human Resource Development Center (SHRDC)

Established in 1962, the Seoul Human Resource Development Center is an institute

to provide training programs, promotion and recruitment exams for the public

officials of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and its 25 self-governing districts.

The best practices and policies of Seoul have been developed into training programs

not only for the benefits of Seoul citizens but for those of the all metropolis members.

On Oct. 25, 2008, the Center was officially accredited as the Metropolis International

Institute Asian Center.

As the Asian Center, the SHRDC has run 13 training programs for approximately

200 people from member cities in the Asian region over the past five years,

contributing to the development of good administrative practices while promoting

cross-border cooperation.

After 5 years of a successful operation of the Asian center, the headquarter of

Metropolis International Institute is moved from Montreal to Seoul in accordance

with the decision made at the Metropolis Board of Directors’ meeting held in

Guangzhou, China on Nov. 17, 2012.

Followed by the MOU signing in May 2013, the new headquarters will be open in

2014, and be responsible for planning and operating training programs for member

cities as well as communicating with Regional Centers.

3-2) Metropolis

■ Metropolis (World Association of the Major Metropolises)

Metropolis is the leading international association embracing cities and metropolitan

regions of more than a million inhabitants.

Founded in 1984, the Metropolis Association represented by 121 members from across

the world operates international forums to explore issues common to all large cities and

metropolitan regions.

Metropolis is also the Metropolitan Section of United Cities Local Governments.

■ Metropolis International Training

Institute (MITI)

The principal mission of the Metropolis

International Institute is to strengthen

the institutional and professional capacities

of local and metropolitan authorities and

their leaders for a better public governance.

The SHRDC, as the headquarter of

Metropolis International Training Institute,

is expected to have more opportunities to

share Seoul’s policies and to provide training

programs to all members of Metropolis with

various subjects including welfare, culture,

environment, transportation and

e-government in cooperation with regional

centers.

3-3) SMG

■ Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG)

Seoul Metropolitan Government is the administrative organization of Seoul City.

Located to the west of the central region of the Korean Peninsula, Seoul, the

capital city of the Republic of Korea, has been the center of the country in its long

history from the prehistoric era to the present day.

In Seoul, Korea’s traditional and modern cultures coexist. Geographically, it is an

extraordinary example of a good location, as mountains, rivers and urban spaces

all combine to produce a picture-perfect city.

As of the end of 2012, Seoul had a population of 10,442,426 people of a total of

4,177,970 households. This represented roughly a quarter of the

population of the Republic of Korea, despite the small size of the city accounting

for less than 1 percent of the country’s area.

The city held the limelight worldwide in June 2002, when jointly hosting the World

Cup finals best characterized by the national squad’s miraculous advancement to

the semifinals and a nationwide cheering campaign of the “red devils”.

The tremendous red-clad crowds which gathered at Seoul Plaza to root for the

South Korean team impressed the whole world with their pure enthusiasm and

passion, which they radiated for the country they represented.
