The Seoul Metropolitan Government selected eight sites, including Doksan-dong in Geumcheon District, Singil-dong in Yeongdeungpo District, and Sinsa-dong in Eunpyeong District, as candidate areas for redevelopment projects under the "fast-track integrated planning" method. To accelerate the supply of dwellings, the city plans to designate these areas as redevelopment zones within two years. The city canceled the designation for Geumho-dong in Seongdong District and Yeongeon-dong in Jongno District, which had been public redevelopment candidates facing strong resident opposition.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on the 17th that it held the "6th committee for selecting dwelling redevelopment candidate sites" on the 16th and chose eight locations, including around 1022 Doksan-dong in Geumcheon District, around 90-31 Singil-dong in Yeongdeungpo District, and around 300 Sinsa-dong in Eunpyeong District, as fast-track integrated planning candidates.
Fast-track integrated planning, a public support program by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, shortens redevelopment project timelines by up to 6 years and 6 months through regulatory easing and simplified procedures and reviews. Including the newly selected candidate sites, fast-track integrated planning redevelopment is underway at a total of 144 locations.
The area around lot 300 in Sinsa-dong, Eunpyeong District, is an aging low-rise residential neighborhood with an 83% aging ratio and semi-basement dwellings accounting for 73%, and needs improvement in its residential environment. The area around lot 1022 in Doksan-dong is adjacent to an already selected redevelopment project, and is expected to see significant residential environment improvements by linking infrastructure such as roads.
Meanwhile, designations were canceled for two public redevelopment candidate sites where resident opposition made it difficult to proceed. They are around lot 1109 in Geumho-dong, Seongdong District (30,191 square meters), and around lot 305 in Yeongeon-dong, Jongno District (10,047 square meters). If 30% or more of land owners, or owners of one-half or more of the land area, oppose, the district office may decide to cancel the proposal.
