Ministry of Land,Infrastructure and Transport

Kim, Yi Tak Vice Minister for Land and Infrastructure

We are faced with a range of challenges, such as volatility in the real estate market, the development gap between the capital region and non-capital areas, and safety accidents at construction sites. In addressing these issues, I will carry out my duties with humility and a sincere commitment befitting a public servant in a government founded on the sovereignty of the people.

To address volatility in the real estate market, we will strengthen housing stability by bringing together our full capabilities. Building on the housing supply plan announced on September 7, we will continue to implement follow-up measures that expand access to affordable housing and reinforce the housing safety net, so that all households — including young people and newlyweds — can enjoy stable and secure housing with peace of mind.

Balanced development is a centennial national task that will shape Korea’s future. We will cultivate regional innovation hubs that can attract businesses and talent, expand metropolitan transportation networks, and transform aging urban areas into vibrant living spaces that combine housing, education, culture, and daily amenities.

Safety begins with prevention, and solutions can be found in the field. We will carefully examine construction and transportation sites and ensure that necessary improvements are made promptly and thoroughly.

Furthermore, we will advance next-generation territorial and urban systems, including AI-enabled cities, digital geospatial platforms, and autonomous vehicle technology, and foster them as new engines of future growth.

As the ministry most closely connected to the everyday lives of the people, we will continue to deliver outcomes that the public can rely on.

Thank you.
