Seoul Metropolitan Government has unveiled an 86.1 trillion-won ($64 billion) blueprint with 100 tasks aimed at placing the city among the world’s top three by 2030. The strategy expands the existing G3 Seoul Plan with measures to attract advanced-degree experts from recruitment through housing and long-term settlement, while improving services for foreign tourists through an all-in-one app connecting overseas payment services, public transportation, tax refunds and tourist information. Earlier planning documents described the program’s investment at 89 trillion won, creating a discrepancy with the latest 86.1 trillion-won figure. Other initiatives include adding 1 million square meters of parks and green areas, providing 6,500 units of Seoul-type public subscription housing known as Baro Nae Jip, supplying 130,000 public housing units, establishing Youth Future Towns in every district and creating 350 Walking Daily Life Centers. Seoul also plans to expand autonomous buses from 16 to 500 by 2030, demonstrate Level 4 autonomous robot taxis, introduce the Mind Fit 36.5 AI mental health system, expand Seoul Fitness Centers and Seoul Learn access, develop education and cultural programs, and establish regional growth hubs under the NEXT Economy initiative. The plan was developed over approximately 70 days through 108 meetings and 16 on-site activities involving 100 experts. Mayor Oh Se-hoon said the five future visions and 100 core tasks would become municipal policies, with their value demonstrated through results.
