Dangsandong 1·3-ga and Yeongdeungpodong 6·7-ga Area 'District Unit Plan Reorganization Service' Ordered...Fostering Central Areas Reflecting Local Characteristics, Preparing Revitalization Plans Considering Changes Toward Downtown...Reorganization Service to Begin in May...Completion Targeted for 2023, Expected to Create Growth Engine in Southwest Region

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is launching the 'Yeongdeungpo 1 District Unit Plan Revision' project to enhance the urban functions of Dangsan-dong 1·3-ga and Yeongdeungpo-dong 6·7-ga and achieve sustainable regional development.

The 'Yeongdeungpo 1 District Unit Plan' was revised in 2016, and after five years, urgent changes in establishment standards are required due to the elevation of the area's status in higher-level plans such as the '2030 Seoul Plan' and the 'Seoul City District Unit Plan Basic Management Plan' (from sub-center to downtown). This has highlighted the need to revise the plan to reflect the updated district unit plan guidelines.

The target area of the Yeongdeungpo 1 District Unit Plan covers a total area of 335,240㎡ in the central Yeongdeungpo area, including Dangsan-dong 1·3-ga and Yeongdeungpo-dong 6·7-ga.

Through this revision project, the district aims to ▲strengthen the central functions in line with the change in urban hierarchy ▲establish systematic management measures for the semi-industrial area where residential, commercial, and industrial functions coexist ▲contribute to reinforcing regional identity by utilizing local characteristics such as the fruit and vegetable market and Yeongdeungpo Market Station on Line 5.

Additionally, the plan will ▲examine pedestrian-centered street environment improvements through the creation of specialized main roads ▲promote high-density mixed-use development centered on main roads and station areas appropriate to the urban hierarchy to attract commercial and office facilities ▲create jobs within the region ▲improve aging residential environments ▲and focus on introducing residential functions as well as establishing a transportation hub connecting Yeongdeungpo and Yeouido downtown areas.

The district plans to sequentially proceed with the management plan procedures, starting with the issuance and proposal evaluation of the revision project by March this year, followed by contract signing, commencement reporting, consultations and opinion gathering with related organizations, public inspection announcements, and review by the Seoul City Urban Architecture Joint Committee.

Accordingly, from May, the project will officially commence, with a focus on establishing the revision plan aiming for completion in the first half of 2023.

District Mayor Chae Hyun-il stated, “Through this 'Yeongdeungpo 1 District Unit Plan Revision' project, we hope to improve the residential environment in Dangsan-dong 1·3-ga and Yeongdeungpo-dong 6·7-ga areas and transform the district into a central downtown area leading growth in the southwest region by expanding living infrastructure linked to local resources.” He added, “We will provide unwavering support and backing to ensure the revision project proceeds smoothly.”
