Seoul City has initiated the long-stalled redevelopment project in the Yeomni-dong area of Mapo-gu.
According to Seoul City on the 21st, the 13th Urban Planning Commission modified and approved the plan to designate the 'housing maintenance-type redevelopment project at Yeomni-dong 488-14' on the 20th.
The area around Yeomni-dong 488-14 had the New Town project initiated in 2003, but the maintenance zone was lifted in 2015, causing nearly a decade of stagnation in improving the residential environment. The region, densely populated with aging multi-family dwellings in hilly terrain, has seen the project gain momentum again since 2020, driven by a strong redevelopment will from residents.
The approved maintenance plan notably maximizes the geographic characteristics. Utilizing the locational advantage of being near a station, the plan places low-rise commercial buildings in the lower levels, while also concentrating community facilities and welfare amenities in the lower areas by utilizing the elevation differences.
Through the maintenance project, a total of 1,120 dwellings will be provided, of which 258 are planned as rental housing. As for infrastructure, new roads, parks, and social welfare facilities will be established, along with a north-south public walkway connecting the main facilities of the Ahyeon redevelopment promotion district from the Ideyeok station.
The social welfare facilities are designed to ensure that residents can enjoy sufficient welfare benefits in conjunction with the projects promoted by Mapo-gu. The underground area of the children's park will include sports facilities, including a swimming pool, enhancing the efficiency of land use.
