Three New Urban Indoor Gardens to Be Established in 2025: Bringing a Breath of Nature into the City

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it has secured KRW 500 million in national funding for the “2025 Living-Connected Forests (Indoor Gardens)” project and will begin full-scale implementation.

The project aims to complement the city’s limited green space and provide citizens with nature-friendly environments within urban settings.

Beyond serving as aesthetically pleasing areas, these indoor gardens will contribute to improving indoor air quality and will be utilized for cultural, educational, and healing programs.

In 2025, three indoor gardens will be established at the following locations:
• Busan Complex Innovation Center
• 12th Floor of Busan City Hall
• Busan Global Village

In particular, the Busan Complex Innovation Center—located in Yeongdo District and home to a small library—will serve as a key hub for the project. It is expected to enhance the quality of life and improve environmental conditions by offering indoor garden spaces to the public.

Ahn Cheol-soo, Director-General of Busan's Green City Bureau, stated, “This indoor garden initiative is expected to provide citizens with everyday spaces where they can enjoy nature and heal, while also significantly improving indoor air quality. We will continue to pursue various projects to expand green spaces across the city.”
