Herb Cultivation Complex in Dunchon-dong, Gangdong-gu to Be Developed into Herb Experience Park

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] A herb cultivation complex in the development-restricted area of Dunchon-dong, Gangdong-gu, will be transformed into a herb experience park.

On the 16th, Seoul City held the 17th Urban Planning Committee meeting and approved the urban planning facility (park) plan for 575-3 Dunchon-dong, Gangdong-gu, as originally proposed, the city announced on the 17th.

Through this review, the site previously used as a herb cultivation complex within the development-restricted area will be newly developed into a herb experience park. It is expected to be provided as a leisure and rest space for local residents, as well as a place for herb experiences and education, in connection with the nearby Herb Astronomy Park.

The site was selected in June 2018 for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '2019 Living Park in Development-Restricted Area' contest. Gangdong-gu plans to open the herb experience park by the second half of 2021 with a total project budget of 500 million KRW, including 400 million KRW in national subsidies for resident support projects and 100 million KRW from the district budget.

A Seoul City official said, "As a cultural park, the herb experience park will feature a herb experience garden, experiential vegetable gardens, and rest facilities that reflect the cultural characteristics of the nearby Herb Astronomy Park, which is expected to improve citizens' rest and educational environment."
