■ Seoul Human Resource Development Center (SHRDC)
Established in 1962, the Seoul Human Resource Development Center is an institute
to provide training programs, promotion and recruitment exams for the public
officials of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and its 25 self-governing districts.
The best practices and policies of Seoul have been developed into training programs not
only for the benefits of Seoul citizens but for those of the all metropolis members. On
Oct. 25, 2008, the Center was officially accredited as the Metropolis International
Institute Asian Center.
As the Asian Center, the SHRDC has run numbers of training programs for
approximately 200 people from member cities in the Asian region over the past five
years, contributing to the development of good administrative practices while promoting
cross-border cooperation.
After 5 years of a successful operation of the Asian center, the headquarter of Metropolis
International Institute is moved from Montreal to Seoul in accordance
with the decision made at the Metropolis Board of Directors’ meeting held in
Guangzhou, China on Nov. 17, 2012.
Followed by the MOU signing in May 2013, the new headquarters will be open in
2014, and be responsible for planning and operating training programs for member cities
as well as communicating with Regional Centers.

Metropolis is the leading international association embracing cities and metropolitan
regions of more than a million inhabitants.
Founded in 1984, the Metropolis Association represented by 121 members from across
the world operates international forums to explore issues common to all large cities and
metropolitan regions.
Metropolis is also the Metropolitan Section of United Cities Local Governments.
■ Metropolis International Training Institute (MITI)

International Institute is to strengthen
the institutional and professional capacities
of local and metropolitan authorities and
their leaders for a better public governance.
The SHRDC, as the headquarter of
Metropolis International Training Institute,
is expected to have more opportunities to
share Seoul’s policies and to provide training
programs to all members of Metropolis with
various subjects including welfare, culture,

18. 3-3) SMG
■ Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG)
Seoul Metropolitan Government is the administrative organization of Seoul City.
Located to the west of the central region of the Korean Peninsula, Seoul, the capital
city of the Republic of Korea, has been the center of the country in its long history
from the prehistoric era to the present day.
In Seoul, Korea’s traditional and modern cultures coexist. Geographically, it is an
extraordinary example of a good location, as mountains, rivers and urban spaces all
combine to produce a picture-perfect city.
As of the end of 2012, Seoul had a population of 10,442,426 people of a total of 4,
177,970 households. This represented roughly a quarter of the
population of the Republic of Korea, despite the small size of the city accounting for
less than 1 percent of the country’s area.
The city held the limelight worldwide in June 2002, when jointly hosting the World
Cup finals best characterized by the national squad’s miraculous advancement to the
semifinals and a nationwide cheering campaign of the “red devils”.
The tremendous red-clad crowds which gathered at Seoul Plaza to root for the South
Korean team impressed the whole world with their pure enthusiasm and passion,
which they radiated for the country they represented.
