A civil advisory body consisting of experts from various fields will be launched to thoroughly review proposals from Seoul city officials and citizens to scrap regulations and to propose more efficient and rational improvement measures.
On the 23rd, Seoul City announced that it would hold an inauguration ceremony for the appointment of the Regulatory Abolition Expert Deliberation Committee members in the video conference room at City Hall.
The committee consists of eight experts from various fields, including economy, livelihood, safety, and construction.
The appointed members include Kwak No-sung, Professor at Yonsei University’s Global Talent College; Kim Jin-wook, CEO of Architecture Office Yeji-hak; Oh Gyun, Director of the Seoul Institute; Yoon Myung-oh, Professor of Urban Science at Seoul City University; Lee Ryeon-ju, former Director of Regulatory Adjustment at the Prime Minister’s Office; Lee Bok-nam, Professor at Seoul National University’s Integrated Research Institute of Construction and Environment; Lee Jung-hee, Professor of Economics at Chung-Ang University; and Choi Tae-jin, CEO of Hyundo Construction Co., Ltd.
The committee will deliberate on citizen and official proposals for regulatory abolition that are challenging to abolish immediately or have differing opinions, and they will meticulously analyze the need for regulatory abolition and its impact on other fields to provide comprehensive recommendations.
A chief reviewer will be designated for each proposal, and dedicated researchers will be assigned one-on-one.
Recommendations made by the committee will be presented to the ‘Public-Private Regulatory Abolition Governance’, in which the Mayor of Seoul participates, for a final comprehensive review and coordination on whether to abolish the regulation.
Committee members attending the appointment ceremony are expected to discuss the areas that need focused action and ways to enhance execution related to the regulatory abolition promoted by the city.
A city official stated, “We expect the activities of the expert deliberation committee to bolster the regulatory abolition initiative pursued by Seoul City, prioritizing economic vitality and public livelihood.”
