| - Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project Headquarters, Seoul Metropolitan Government |
|
|
On July 2, 2002, the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project Headquarters began its work simultaneously
with the inauguration of Mayor Lee Myung-bak, making some continuous efforts to move forward with
the restoration project by strengthening its role. |
| |
|
|
|
Since the beginning of the restoration work for the stream on July 1st, 2003, the Cheonggyecheon
Restoration Project Headquarters has coordinated some relevant efforts to achieve a better efficiency
and a systematic promotion of the project while being ready for some new needs, including promoting
the renewal of the neighborhood, such as Seun Arcade. |

|
|
|
In January 2004, the duty of the Construction Division III, a temporary position made under the
Municipal Ordinance Enforcement Regulations concerning Administrative Organization of the Seoul
Metropolitan Government, was more clearly defined and the Restoration Project Bureau of the
Construction Safety Headquarters was incorporated into the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project
Headquarters, thus being better prepared for an efficient promotion of the project and securing a higher
expertise. The duties of the teams under the control of the Restoration Planning Division were
readjusted to make them closer to reality. |
