[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 8th that it has completed the reorganization and staffing of the existing Seoul metropolitan area supply-dedicated organization, the ‘Special Headquarters for Housing Supply in the Metropolitan Area,’ in connection with the government’s ‘Public-led 3080+, Drastic Expansion Plan for Housing Supply in the Metropolitan Area’ announced on the 4th, and has begun full-scale operations.

The government announced an innovative plan in the 2·4 Measures to drastically shorten construction periods through cooperation between the public sector including LH and the private sector, as well as bold deregulation, and to share development profits. Through this, it plans to rapidly supply 320,000 housing units in Seoul alone by 2025.

In the redevelopment and reconstruction maintenance projects directly implemented by the public sector, station areas, urban public housing complex projects in semi-industrial areas, small-scale maintenance projects, and others presented in this plan, LH is expected to play a central role in reviewing project proposals, establishing project plans, and securing sites.

Accordingly, LH reorganized the ‘Special Headquarters for Housing Supply in the Metropolitan Area,’ which had been dedicated to discovering candidate sites in the Seoul area and reviewing maintenance plans related to the 5·6 and 8·4 Measures, reopened it on the 29th of last month, recently completed staffing, and has begun full-scale operations.

The ‘Special Headquarters for Housing Supply in the Metropolitan Area’ has expanded from the previous structure of two divisions and four departments consisting of the ‘General Planning Team’ and the ‘Public Maintenance Project Team’ to a structure of three divisions and twelve departments, including the ‘Urban Land Project Division’ for urban public housing complex projects such as station areas, the ‘Public Maintenance Project Division’ responsible for public implementation maintenance projects such as redevelopment and reconstruction, and the ‘Yongsan Complex Project Division’ which carries out complex development in the Yongsan area.

LH plans to stably promote the expansion of housing supply in Seoul and the metropolitan area by operating a large-scale on-site organization with about 100 employees residing on-site to promptly coordinate the interests of landowners, residents, and other stakeholders, and to build unwavering trust relationships.

Park Cheolheung, head of LH’s Special Headquarters for Housing Supply in the Metropolitan Area, said, "We will do our best to ensure that the public can feel the policy outcomes through rapid supply promotion by operating a field-oriented organization that oversees the entire process of project planning, resident consultation, and permits."
