[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] A new buffer green space has been created in District 8 of Songdo International City, Incheon Free Economic Zone, where apartment move-ins have been occurring recently.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority announced on the 3rd that it has completed five buffer green spaces within Landmark City District 8 in Songdo.

The completed buffer green spaces were established adjacent to Songdo Hoban Verdiium Phase 3 Apartments, Songdo The Sharp Marina Bay, Misong Elementary School, Marine Middle School No.1 (tentative name), and Incheon Aam Elementary School.

The total project cost was 2.67 billion KRW, and the total green area of the five sites amounts to 21,341㎡.

The buffer green spaces were planted with 1,756 large trees including Korean pine, crabapple, zelkova, and Japanese snowbell; 51,649 shrubs such as Chinese parasol tree, hydrangea, and forsythia; and 42,200 herbaceous plants of sasa.

During the construction process, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority focused on creating buffer green spaces adjacent to the apartment complex to minimize inconvenience to residents, as the move-in schedule for Songdo Hoban Verdiium Phase 3 Apartments was advanced from June to January this year. They also reflected the opinions of prospective residents.

In particular, for buffer green spaces adjacent to schools, to foster a studious atmosphere, the soil was mounded to raise the height by 50cm higher than other buffer green spaces, making it 2 meters tall, and the planting density was increased.

So far, a total of 32 buffer green spaces have been created in Songdo International City, covering a total area of 447,841㎡. The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority plans to create 29 additional buffer green spaces in Songdo by 2030 to provide a pleasant living environment.
