Hello,

I am Jin Ai Kim, Chairperson of the National Architecture Policy Committee.

Architecture is a vital element that shapes citizens’ safety and well-being, as well as the future of our cities and nation. As a committee under the President, responsible for establishing and coordinating cross-ministerial architectural policies, we aim to realize the values of “Good Architecture, Good Cities, and Citizen Happiness” together with the people.

To achieve this, our committee will pursue the following four key directions:

Expanding communication with the public to realize “spatial democracy,” where all citizens become the main actors in shaping their spaces. To ensure genuine dialogue, we will listen to the hopes and concerns of our citizens.
Cultivating architectural and urban cultural assets to enhance Korea’s cultural capacity. We will move away from ostentatious landmark buildings and instead nurture a culture that appreciates and cherishes good architecture and spaces in our everyday surroundings, just like the settings of popular culture such as K-pop or “Demon Hunters.”
Building a healthy industrial ecosystem to modernize the architecture industry and expand job opportunities for the younger generation. We will serve as a reliable support for mid-sized architectural industries that sustain everyday spaces, bridging the gap between large, capital-driven enterprises and fragile small-scale local businesses.
Innovating regulations related to architecture and urban housing to promote 21st-century urban-style architecture. To break away from the polarized spatial structure dominated by large apartment complexes and small-scale multi-family housing, we will seek new innovative approaches beyond the outdated regulatory framework.

The National Architecture Policy Committee will move forward by engaging with the public, collaborating with administration, persuading policymakers, understanding market needs, and aligning with cultural trends. We will serve as a catalyst for change.
We will listen to and connect the voices of industry, citizens, local governments, and relevant ministries and committees across architecture, culture, administration, industry, and diplomacy.
We will always remember that good policies lead to good architecture, good cities, and citizen happiness. Through action-oriented policies, we will strive to enhance the quality of life of our citizens and elevate Korea’s global standing through architecture.

We invite all citizens to share your voices with us. We will listen carefully.
Thank you.
