Seongbuk-gu Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley Wins Seoul City Multi-family Housing Community Revitalization Project Award

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) announced that it has been selected for the fourth consecutive year as an ‘Excellent Case of Seoul Metropolitan City Apartment Community Revitalization Project’ and presented a plaque to Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley Apartment, which won the grand prize on the 10th.

Seoul City selected 7 complexes as excellent cases of apartment community revitalization among 298 complexes participating in the 2020 apartment community revitalization project through district recommendations and Seoul City judges’ evaluation. Instead of holding the apartment community festival due to the spread of COVID-19, an excellent case presentation meeting was held on the 12th of last month, selecting Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley in Seongbuk-gu as the grand prize winner.

The grand prize-winning Luna Valley is a 13-year-old apartment complex that has been steadily participating in the apartment community revitalization project since 2016, centered on the community revitalization group Dananumhoe. Under the theme of ‘Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley with Sharing, Communication, and Giving,’ various community activities such as napkin art, DIY workshops, side dish sharing, Ana-bada flea market, rooftop gardening, film festivals, the opening of Moonlight Friends Library, and table tennis classes have been carried out.

In particular, this year, despite the unexpected COVID-19 crisis, they practiced social distancing and held a ‘Mat Music Concert.’ When the issue of abuse by security guards became a social issue, they received favorable reviews for community activities suited to the times by preparing food and sharing it with security guards and other apartment workers through the ‘Shared Table’ program.

Seongbuk-gu is actively supporting the community revitalization project to create a cooperative and communicative open apartment culture. This year, 60 complexes in the region participated in the contest project, promoting projects such as veranda music concerts, health walking competitions, cultural lectures, and COVID-19 overcoming contests.

As a result, since the Seoul Metropolitan City Apartment Festival started in 2015, it has been selected as an excellent case complex for four consecutive years. Donam Geumho Eoullim Apartment won the silver prize for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley Apartment won the gold prize in 2019, and this year enjoyed the joy of winning the grand prize.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro said, “I appreciate the efforts to communicate with neighbors without losing the meaning of community even in difficult situations due to COVID-19. I hope that this excellent activity experience and case will further spread a community culture that shares happiness with neighbors.”
