1. Title
- The official name of this design competition is "The International Competition for the Pyeongtaek-si Administrative Town"
2. Background and Purpose
- The current Pyeongtaek City Hall, approved for use in 1993, was built before the 1995 merger of Pyeongtaek-si, Songtan-si, and Pyeongtaek-gun. Despite ongoing expansions and remodeling, there is still a shortage of office space.
- The city hall and city council are currently located separately, and some administrative departments are dispersed, complicating inter-departmental collaboration and communication. Additional administrative office space is needed due to increased administrative demands from various urban development projects.
- Pyeongtaek-si plans to establish an administrative town that integrates the city hall and city council, aiming to create an efficient communication structure between administrative and legislative functions. The relocation to the Godeok International New City area will enhance accessibility and convenience, providing high-quality public services to local residents.
- The new administrative town aims to be a public building that is more accessible to the community while serving as a platform for diverse and evolving administrative functions. As a young city, Pyeongtaek hopes the new city hall will accommodate expanding administrative functions based on IT industries.
