Daegu, a hub of such industrial cities as Pohang, Gumi, Changweon and Gyeongju. It has been the center of local economy, industry, physical distribution and education in the Yeongnam area.

To be a central city in the world in the coming 21st century, Daegu invests much in the expansion of its infrastructure and concentrates on the efficient urban planning and the development of secondary centers around Daegu.

Due to improvements in the standard of living, privately-owned vehicles are increasing and, consequently, new road construction is going on and on.
We make a great effort to construct an effective road network system and to expand roads to transport goods more rapidly. We are constantly building new main streets, freeways, constructing 4 lane circulation roads, and building express highways to connect east and west, north and south.

The Subway in Daegu is being constructed according to the city's authorized plans and will be, no doubt, a very popular means of transportation. Line1, which connects Wolbae and Ansim, is already in service. Line 2, which connects Seongseo and Gosan, will be completed in 2002. It is expected to enrich the citizens' lives and make their dailytravels more convenient.

There are two railroad stations in Daegu, Daegu station and Dongdaegu station. Daegu station is being reconstructed, covering 141,620 ㎡ and is expected to be more comfortable for citizens with convenient facilities, department stores, and parking lots. Dongdaegu station will be a high-speed transportation center which connecting high-speed railways, national railways, airport and bus terminals. Also, a business complex for information, finance, insurance and culture will be constructed in and around the station.

As Daegu grows into an international city, the field of air transportation will be dramatically changed. In order to meet the increasing demand for overseas flights, regular services to some Asian cities are already in operation. Starting with connections to Osaka, Daegu plans to open new routes to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Fukuoka, etc.
Fresh air and clear water are what the citizens are longing for to live in a pleasant environment.

Across-the-board plans to improve the water quality of the Nakdong river and the Keumho river were established and are now in operation. The environment of Daegu becomes much better by making the source of water supply clean, by an adequate sewage disposal system, and by making efforts to prevent the air pollution.
