Gyeonggi-do to Host 'Basic Housing Conference'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is hosting a 'Basic Housing' conference.

Basic Housing is a type of housing proposed by Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, allowing anyone without a home to live for more than 30 years. The types include long-term rental, where the land is publicly owned and leased, and a sale-type where individuals purchase and own the housing while the land is publicly owned and leased.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 21st that it will hold the 'Basic Housing Conference' at 10 a.m. on the 25th at the Suwon Convention Center to discuss the policy vision of Gyeonggi Province's Basic Housing.

This year's event will be divided into three sessions: ▲Implications of overseas public rental policies ▲Direction and model of Basic Housing rental type (long-term rental) ▲Basic Housing sale type (public repurchase land leasehold) model.

Through this conference, the province aims to explore ways for the 'Gyeonggi Province Basic Housing' to be successfully established by following various presentations by experts in each field and panel discussions with domestic and international experts.

The conference will be held online due to the implementation of social distancing level 2. The discussion can be viewed on 'Social Broadcasting LIVE Gyeonggi (live.gg.go.kr)'.

On the same day, the province will also open the 'Basic Housing Promotion Center' in Suwon Gwanggyo (next to the Gwanggyo New Government Building).

The promotion center is designed as a space to help understand and directly experience Basic Housing, featuring an introduction to Basic Housing, model houses (44㎡, 85㎡), physical models, and a virtual reality (VR) zone.

The promotion center is open for viewing and experience to anyone interested in Basic Housing.
