SEOUL, Sept. 10 (Yonhap) -- Seoul city plans to spend 86.1 trillion won (US$64.3 billion) in key projects to raise its competitiveness to that of a "global top three" city by 2030, Mayor Oh Se-hoon said Thursday.

Oh has pushed for elevating the city's global ranking following his victory in the June 3 local elections to secure his third consecutive term and fifth overall as Seoul mayor.

The city government's plan focuses on improving people's quality of life and adopting new technologies through 100 major initiatives, such as setting up exercise zones within 10 minutes from home.

The initiatives also include offering artificial intelligence service passes to 500,000 young people, and increasing the number of self-driving buses to 500 by 2030 from the current 16.

In the housing sector, the city seeks to begin construction of 310,000 housing units by 2031 through rapid integration planning and push for supplying 130,000 public housing units to address soaring real estate prices.

Seoul ranked sixth in the Japan-based Mori Memorial Foundation's Global Power City Index 2025. London topped the list followed by Tokyo, New York, Paris and Singapore.

The index evaluates cities based on six major indicators -- economy, research and development, cultural interaction, livability, environment and accessibility.

首尔，9月10日（韩联社）——首尔市长吴世勋周四表示，首尔市计划投资86.1万亿韩元（约合643亿美元）用于重点项目，以期到2030年将首尔的竞争力提升至“全球前三”城市水平。

吴在6月3日的地方选举中获胜，成功连任首尔市长，这是他连续第三次、也是第五次担任首尔市长。此后，他一直致力于提升首尔的全球排名。

市政府的计划着重于通过 100 项重大举措来改善人民的生活质量并采用新技术，例如在距离家 10 分钟路程内设立锻炼区。

这些举措还包括向 50 万名年轻人提供人工智能服务通行证，以及到 2030 年将自动驾驶公交车的数量从目前的 16 辆增加到 500 辆。

在住房领域，该市寻求通过快速整合规划，到 2031 年开工建设 31 万套住房，并推动提供 13 万套公共住房，以应对不断上涨的房地产价格。

首尔在日本森纪念基金会发布的《2025年全球实力城市指数》中排名第六。伦敦位居榜首，其次是东京、纽约、巴黎和新加坡。

该指数根据六项主要指标对城市进行评估——经济、研发、文化交流、宜居性、环境和交通便利性。
