International Design Competition for the New DAEGU Metropolitan City Hall

1. Background
- The current Daegu City Hall in Dongin was constructed in 1993, and the City Council building in 1956. Due to aging facilities and a shortage of administrative space, the city has been leasing nearby office buildings and operating in a dispersed manner since 2004.
- Among these, the former Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government Office, built in 1965 and currently used as the Daegu City Hall in Sangyeok, is located approximately 4 km or a 15-minute drive from the Daegu City Hall in Dongin. This facility is also fragmented across several buildings, making it inconvenient for citizens to visit, significantly reducing administrative efficiency, and resulting in considerable unnecessary expenditures.
- As a result, the necessity of constructing a new city hall was brought into public discussion. Since the initial construction plan was established in 2004, a Citizen Participation Committee consisting of 250 citizens took part in the site selection process in 2019, ultimately selecting the Duryu Water Purification Plant site in Dalseo-gu as the final project location.
