Incheon, the economic center and cultural hub of Korea!
The Sixth Incheon Metropolitan Council, committed to pursuing fairness and transparency in representing the citizens of Incheon.

With a population of 2.8 million, Incheon spans two counties and consists of eight city districts. Incheon is planning for the future of 440,000 children through its advanced education policies. Incheon Metropolitan Council is transforming Incheon into an even better city in which to live by always concentrating on the concerns and desires of its citizens.

The First Incheon Local Assembly, a non-autonomous body, was formed in 1952. Following an amendment to the local administrative law, the first autonomous Incheon Local Assembly was created in 1991. Now in 2010, the Sixth Incheon Metropolitan Council was formed to prepare for the future of Incheon.

The Sixth Incheon Metropolitan Council will be the engine for the development of Incheon soaring toward a bright future. Including the President and two Vice Presidents, there are 38 councilors elected from the eight districts across two counties.

Six standing committees are charged with directly overseeing the lives of Incheon¡¯s citizens. These committees review and report on specific agenda such as ordinances, budget plans, and petitions.


The Executive Committee is in charge of steering the general affairs of the Council.

The Planning and Administrative Committee is in charge of all affairs related to planning, administration, and investment.

The Culture and Welfare Committee is in charge of social welfare, culture, and tourism. The Economic Development Committee is in charge of logistics including harbors and Incheon Port, economic development including the Free Economic Zone, and environmental areas.

The Construction and Transportation Committee is in charge of affairs related to construction and transportation, including city planning and redevelopment.

The Education Committee is in charge of all education affairs for primary and secondary education in the city.

Special committees are temporarily formed to review special affairs. The Special Budget Committee reviews all settlements of city budget accounts including education.
The Special Ethics Committee sets the ethical standards for councilors, reviews ethics violations, and takes appropriate disciplinary action.

Innovation and effective political administration is required in today¡¯s world. Incheon Metropolitan Council oversees the entire city administration for departments conducting audits and providing oversight to correct any problems. As an autonomous law making organization, Incheon Metropolitan Council makes the final decision whether to enact new city ordinances or not following reviews of recommendations and always placing the welfare of Incheon¡¯s citizens first.

The Council also determines and approves budgets following on-site inspections to ensure the taxes paid by citizens are used properly.
With true sincerity and a strong sense of duty, Incheon Metropolitan Council embodies the hopes of Incheon¡¯s 2.8 million citizens.

The Council is improving direct communication with Incheon¡¯s citizens.
A petition system allows citizens to directly make requests and to make appeals to the City Government. The Council can also easily hear the voices of the citizens through public hearings and town hall meetings.

To get teenagers more involved with the workings of City Government, mock council meetings are held and young people are also encouraged to attend actual Council Meetings that are open to the public.

Incheon Metropolitan Council is promoting Incheon as a leading international city through a myriad of activities including the hosting of the 2014 Asian Games.

The Council is always ready to listen and respond to the ideas and desires of citizens. Our goal is to make citizens aware that the Council is truly a servant of the people, always listening to their voices and ensuring all the rules governing the Council are abided by during Council Meetings.

Always vigilant, the Council is improving its administration through active research activities and considering new ideas presented by experts as well as citizens. We are also making a lot of effort to solve pending issues and improve city policies. Always working together with Incheon¡¯s citizens, the Sixth Incheon Metropolitan Council will write a new chapter in the history of Incheon¡¯s city administration.

All the members of the Council are making it a point to get closer to the people as well as trying new ideas to make every person proud to be a citizen of Incheon.
The Sixth Incheon Metropolitan Council promises to be the catalyst for growth and prosperity in the City of Incheon with the help of its citizens.
