PUSAN URBAN MANAGEMENT

closed

The proposed project would support the implementation of a comprehensive program of institutional and policy development for the Pusan city government (PCG). The project would finance about one third of the investments included in the city's Investment Plan, with emphasis on small, complementary works which complete the benefits of existing infrastructure. To this end, the project comprises about 330 subprojects each over W 0.4 billion and many investments including the expansion and improvement of: (a) priority roads; (b) a program of low-cost transportation improvements; (c) drainage, flood protection and sewerage works; (d) embankment and steep slope protection; and (e) city services. By strengthening the organization, planning, policies and management of PCG, and implementing a priority investment program, the proposed project would improve the standard of living of the population, and strengthen finances and provide a reliable base for the development of Pusan City.
