[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Cho Eun-hee, the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, has pledged to build 'Bantitbul Centers' throughout Seoul. The aim is to alleviate the inconveniences of living in general housing.

On the 21st, Cho stated on Facebook, "I will expand Bantitbul Centers across all of Seoul to open a new horizon for residential welfare in Seoul."

The Bantitbul Center is a general housing management office located in Seocho-gu. Since opening in 2015, 10 centers have been operating within Seocho-gu. They provide services such as nighttime patrols, joint security, unmanned parcel storage, and tool rental.

Cho explained, "The Bantitbul Center offers a space where neighborhood residents can discuss parking and communal living issues. It also serves as a community hub where shared childcare spaces are created to exchange parenting information, and children can freely play with friends."

According to Cho, several local governments including Gyeonggi-do, Incheon Metropolitan City, Sejong Special Self-Governing City, and Daegu Metropolitan City have benchmarked the Bantitbul Center.

He pointed out, "According to data released by Statistics Korea in 2019, the nationwide housing type ratio shows that 50.1% of residents live in apartments, while 43.7% live in detached, row, or multi-family houses. It is difficult to improve residential welfare environments for all citizens simply by building more apartments immediately."

Therefore, Cho emphasized, "We must improve quality of life through 'residential welfare' that not only increases hardware quantity but also manages software. I will expand the Cho Eun-hee-style Bantitbul Centers throughout Seoul to open a new horizon for residential welfare in Seoul."
