Chris & Partners' institutional-event highlights

The 4th Jeonju World Slow Forum & Slow Award is a Cittaslow international event held by Jeonju City under the slogan ‘The World Asks, Jeonju Answers’ and the theme ‘Happiness and Green City’. It is being pursued to discuss common issues in various fields, look back on the achievements of spreading the slow movement worldwide, and discover and share excellent cases that practice what the Cittaslow movement aims for.

World Cittaslow experts held a video discussion together with Jeonju City on the theme of the Cittaslow philosophy—slowness, happiness, and more.

At the forum, Gerda Stuchlik, Mayor of Freiburg, Germany, gave a keynote on ‘The City Becomes a Good Living Space,’ and Charles Montgomery, a Canadian journalist, presented on ‘Greater Happiness Achieved Through Urban Design.’

There was a keynote by Jeong Byeong-du, professor at Keimyung University, on ‘Green Cities and Sustainable Transportation,’ and Pier Giorgio Oliveti, secretary-general of the international Cittaslow movement, Choi Shin-hyun, chief landscape architect of Jeonju City, Kwon Young-in, senior researcher at the Korea Transport Institute, and Park Cheon-young, head of planning and PR at the Korea Wood Culture Promotion Association, took part in the discussion.

Chris & Partners' online specialist engineering team placement and on-hand stationing allowed the World Slow Forum and Award to be successfully completed.
