Seoul City Councilor No Seung-jae: "Active Support Needed for Autonomous Housing Renovation Project Around Pungnap Toseong"

Claim to Include Urban Regeneration Activation Plan Establishment Service Task for Pungnap-dong Earthen Fort Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] No Seung-jae, Vice Chairman of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council (Democratic Party, Songpa 1), emphasized the necessity of the autonomous housing maintenance project around Pungnap-dong Earthen Fortress during the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Culture Headquarters business report inquiry, urging that it be included and promoted in the urban regeneration activation plan establishment project for the Pungnap-dong Earthen Fortress area, which will be implemented from early May.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recently prepared measures to strengthen public support for autonomous housing maintenance projects.

The autonomous housing maintenance project is a small-scale lot project where two or more homeowners of single-family houses with fewer than 10 households or multi-family houses with fewer than 20 households form a resident consensus group and then construct apartment buildings.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport decided to first support residents wishing to undertake autonomous housing maintenance projects by covering preliminary design costs for business feasibility analysis to reduce initial burdens.

The three zones around the Pungnap-dong Earthen Fortress are densely populated with old small-scale houses, making reconstruction urgent; however, residents are unable to proceed with the project because they cannot determine its feasibility.

Therefore, for residents lacking expertise, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH) should participate in the project, support consultations with residents and local governments, and assist with various administrative procedures such as permits until completion.

Assemblyman No Seung-jae stated, “With the prompt promotion of the autonomous housing maintenance project around Pungnap Earthen Fortress, the old small-scale houses, which are subject to many regulations such as building restrictions due to cultural heritage, should become a happy living space for residents,” urging the Seoul Metropolitan Government to prepare active support measures.
