The mayors of Seoul and the nearby Gyeonggi provincial city of Gwacheon met on Wednesday to discuss a "Mega City" initiative that could involve the satellite city’s incorporation.

At the start of the meeting, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said that Gwacheon has good accessibility to the capital, with around 40 percent of its working residents commuting to Seoul.

Emphasizing that the envisioned plan should focus on mitigating inconveniences stemming from discord between one's area of life and work and administrative zones, Oh said talks should not be limited to the greater Seoul area but the administrative system nationwide.

Following the meeting, Gwacheon Mayor Shin Gye-yong said she proposed discussions on the city's development and ways to maintain its residents' rights and benefits.

The two municipal governments are expected to set up a joint research body to further explore a possible integration.

Oh earlier met with mayors from the other neighboring Gyeonggi cities of Gimpo, Guri and Goyang as well as Gyeonggi Governor Kim Dong-yeon and Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok and the head of the ruling People Power Party's(PPP) special committee on the New City project.
