The Seoul City government has designated the redevelopment area of 130 Mia-dong in Gangbuk as the sixth site for regulatory relief. According to Seoul City's regulatory relief policy, the total floor area of the redevelopment site will increase by about 5,000 square meters.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon noted on the morning of the 20th that he visited the redevelopment site at 130 Mia-dong, located near Mia Station on Subway Line 4. Earlier, on the 14th, Mayor Oh received citizen suggestions during the "Great Debate on Deregulation for Reviving Livelihoods" to include three-dimensional parks in the park space that must be secured for maintenance projects, and he accepted them. Following this, he sought to discover potential areas for application, leading to the selection of 130 Mia-dong.

Three-dimensional parks are constructed on artificial ground over private land or buildings, differing from flat parks that are established on natural terrain.

In large-scale maintenance projects of over 50,000 square meters or more than 1,000 households, the Park Greenery Act mandates that at least 5% of the site area or 3 square meters per household must be secured as flat parks only. The Seoul City government plans to recognize three-dimensional parks as mandatory parks in consideration of local conditions and project characteristics in the future.

The area around 130 Mia-dong was selected as a rapid integrated planning redevelopment candidate site in December of last year. If over 50% of the mandatory park space in this area is developed as three-dimensional parks, facilities for residents such as parking lots and convenience facilities can be expanded, and the number of dwellings supplied can also increase.

The area's site area (approximately 71,000 square meters) requires the securement of about 4,500 square meters of mandatory parks, and even planning only 50% of this as three-dimensional parks will allow for an increase in the total floor area of more than 5,000 square meters. Consequently, the total housing supply, including the number of sellable units, may expand.

The city plans to review the upward zoning through rapid integrated planning to ensure that the project in the area proceeds smoothly. The Seoul government will also apply the new 'Redevelopment Processing Deadline System' and 'Prior Review System' to the rapid integrated planning project starting this year in the area of 130 Mia-dong. If the shortcut plan is implemented in this region, the time required for district designation is expected to be shortened by more than seven months compared to the existing timeframe.

During his site visit, Mayor Oh stated, "Regulatory relief is being achieved to provide economic benefits to those starting the project so that redevelopment can proceed more quickly and efficiently."
