Uichang-gu

Built around farming settlements on the lowland north of central Changwon, Uichang-gu grew into a varied urban district within the city of Changwon. Junam Reservoir on its eastern side is an important wetland for migratory birds, bringing a seasonal presence to an area shaped by expanding development. Residential neighbourhoods and commercial routes give way to farmland and wooded hills, illustrating the meeting of Changwon’s urban growth with older rural communities. Changwon was developed as South Korea’s first planned industrial city in the 1970s, a legacy that remains central to the wider city’s identity.
