Seoul said on the 14th that, to speed up the supply of dwellings, it will conduct a "comprehensive evaluation of maintenance projects" every November starting this year.
The move is aimed at boosting the pace of redevelopment and reconstruction maintenance projects by district and strengthening administrative execution, with commendations and personnel preferences granted to outstanding districts.
As of March this year, there are 494 maintenance projects managed by the city, and it plans to evaluate these sites.
The evaluation items cover 11 metrics across five areas: compliance with standard processing deadlines, permit processing periods by stage, participation in progress-acceleration meetings, conflict mediation, and examples of proactive administration. Scores by item are 70 points for quantitative evaluation, 30 points for qualitative evaluation, 20 bonus points, and 10 penalty points.
The city said it "will set compliance with standard processing deadlines and permit processing periods by stage as core indicators, and will closely check execution to see whether projects actually move to groundbreaking."
Based on rankings by district, the city plans to release the results in December by grouping five districts as grade S, 10 districts as grade A, and 10 districts as grade B.
