The five strategies for this include ▲ national innovation hub that leads future industries ▲ transportation city that connects people and the city ▲ environmental welfare city that fulfills their responsibilities to the earth and society ▲ open creative city where competitiveness born from diversity, and ▲ the city with balanced development.
It also presented 10 key mid- to long-term projects reflecting regional identity and policy demands from citizens.
It plans to create a convergence valley for ICT, biotech, and defense industries and develop a transporation city by expanding the wide-area transportation network.
It will also develop the Northeast region to overcome the deepening urban imbalance.
A nine-story underground city will be built with a start-up zone, a business zone, and convention facilities around Daejeon Station.
It also set a plan to create a new technology hub city using the Daedeok Innopolis in Yuseong-gu.
The city also plans to make a city center rich in green space and waterfront in order to take off as a new energy independent city and a global talent hub city that responds to climate change.
The city initially promoted the project as the "2050 Grand Plan," but changed its name to the "2048 Grand Plan" in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the local government's establishment.
The vision declaration ceremony will be held in next month.
