Hamyang-gun Yongpyeong-ri Urban Regeneration Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street Landscape Agreement Ceremony

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 26th that it held a landscape agreement ceremony for a 150m section of the Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street (Yongpyeong 4-gil, Yongpyeong 5-gil, Jungang Market-gil) according to the activation plan of the Yongpyeong-ri general neighborhood-type urban regeneration project approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Yongpyeong-ri Landscape Council was established in July 2020 and has continuously communicated with residents by holding street landscape workshops and resident briefings, requesting consent and cooperation from residents. It also worked to revitalize the alley economy by improving surrounding facilities and traffic systems, and to revitalize Hamyang Market and alley commercial districts due to the decline of the old downtown, aiming to create a successful Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street.

The Yongpyeong-ri landscape agreement targets the 150m section of the Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street, with 37 building owners and self-employed business operators within the area as signatories.

Currently, more than 80% of the signatories have given their consent. In particular, Professor Jo Hyung-gyu (Gyeongnam Public Architect, Department of Architecture, Changwon National University), an expert, was appointed as the general coordinator to add professionalism.

Through this landscape agreement, by stipulating necessary matters to jointly protect and cultivate the landscape of the Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street, Hamyang-gun plans to respond to the risk of disappearance through the preservation and regeneration of its unique characteristics.

Based on resident-led specialized street creation, a win-win integrated community, establishing an anti-aging image unique to Hamyang-gun, and building a residential environment, this is expected to be the first step toward activating the urban regeneration project and sustainable development of Hamyang-gun.

Son Jae-hyun, director of the Urban Regeneration Support Center, said, “Through the residents’ pledge in the Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street landscape agreement, the residents will lead the project proactively. The public and private sectors will work together to solve emerging civil complaints such as illegal storage and street landscape issues.”

Seo Chun-su, mayor of Hamyang-gun, said, “The Bullojangsaeng Specialized Street creation project has officially started with the landscape agreement. The urban regeneration New Deal project requires cooperation between the administration and residents. Please do your best to make it a New Deal project that residents want. The administration will also provide generous support.”
