Chapter 100 - Who Can Save Me?
The mayor of Jingang City still had two years left in office, and he intended to use this time to secure as many political resources as possible.
Jingang City, one of the engines of the Federation's economic growth, garnered widespread attention. As long as this attention remained, the mayor’s accomplishments would continue to be revisited.
Much like the mayors who expanded the city’s first and second docks, their contributions were still celebrated today. Even if some of them had passed away, their children continued to enjoy the political benefits of their legacy.
The current mayor wanted the same. However, expanding the docks, while beneficial for economic growth, wouldn’t necessarily yield him any political advantages.
In politics, it was always better to be the first or second to accomplish something. Nobody remembered the third or fourth.
Thus, the mayor planned to focus on urban expansion. Jingang City’s permanent population was currently around 1.1 million, but population data in the Federation was often inaccurate and infrequently updated.
His goal was to increase the population to 1.5 million within two years. This would require expanding the urban area while creating new jobs for the incoming residents.
Supporters of the mayor were already heavily invested in urban expansion plans. Funds from contributors like Mr. Jobav were being funneled into infrastructure development.
