Busan Metropolitan City to Revamp Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute!… Launch of Feasibility Study

내용

Busan Metropolitan City Mayor Park Heong-joon announced that the city has commenced the basic plan and feasibility study for the revitalization of the Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute, which aims to transform the outdated facility into a comprehensive cultural space that embraces everyone.

The Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute has long served as a hub for the education, experiences, and leisure of local youth. However, due to aging infrastructure and rapidly changing youth needs, a complete overhaul has become urgent.

To address this, the city is devoting its full efforts to redesign the institute as a next-generation youth training facility that combines the latest trends with youth-centered programs.

This study focuses on preparing a comprehensive development plan to transform the Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute—which has been suffering from increasingly poor conditions due to the deterioration of its buildings and facilities—into a safe and pleasant activity space for young people.

Through this effort, the city plans to establish state-of-the-art infrastructure and programs that will enable youth to participate in creative and diverse experiential activities.

The city pursued a negotiated contract process from July to August of this year, and on September 3, 2025, signed a contract with a qualified bidder. The project will be carried out over a 12-month period, beginning in September 2025, and is scheduled for completion in August 2026.

Milestones include an inception report in September 2025, an interim report in January–February 2026, and a final report in August 2026.

The Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute revitalization project is a large-scale investment project with a total budget of 90 billion KRW. The city aims to hold a design competition in 2028, start construction in 2030, and complete the project in 2032. After the completion of the feasibility study in August 2026, the city will proceed with preliminary procedures such as requesting a local fiscal investment review.

Park Seol-yeon, Director General of the Women and Family Bureau, stated, “Since young people are the future leaders, we will devote our utmost efforts to ensure this study provides substantial and sustainable support for them. The Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Institute will be reborn as a future-oriented cultural complex tailored to the younger generation, where youth and the local community can participate together.”
