Incheon City released a limited, free trendbook titled Incheon LocaL, created by 16 youth local creators who reinterpret the city through a younger sensibility. Distributed from the city hall on a first-come, first-served basis, the book is a non-commercial record emphasizing the idea that “a city begins with its people.” It is organized into four themes: ‘Reading Incheon’ (highlighting spaces like independent bookstores), ‘Tasting Incheon’ (local ingredients and food/beverages), ‘Capturing Incheon’ (crafts and sustainable souvenirs), and ‘Enjoying Incheon’ (experiential activities connecting people and the city). The project aims to boost city branding, civic pride, and local identity. Copies are available for pickup only at Incheon City Hall’s Content Planning Office (민원동 3층 콘텐츠기획관실(302호)) while supplies last, and the creators’ content is also viewable on Incheon’s official website and as an ebook.
