[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced that it plans to conduct an in-depth review if there is a project implementer proposing the construction of a complex shopping mall related to the development of the former military base site in Sangok-dong, Bupyeong-gu.

On the 2nd, Kim Gimum, Incheon City Old Downtown Regeneration Coordinator, responded to an online citizen petition requesting the attraction of a shopping mall by stating, "If there is a project proposer for the shopping mall construction, we will review the possibility of changing the district unit plan on the condition of fulfilling public contributions such as measures against traffic demand and securing park facilities."

The site of the 1113th Engineer Brigade at 325 Cheongcheon-dong, Bupyeong-gu, is a 67,000㎡ project area where development will begin first among the military base relocation sites.

Among the 52,000㎡ special planning zone excluding the Bupyeong Police Station relocation site, 18,000㎡ will be restored as a park, road, and transit-oriented cultural and living space, and the remaining 34,000㎡ will have the detailed development plan of the project implementer reviewed and decided through a public contest in the second half of this year.

The Incheon City Urban Planning Ordinance, revised in February, restricts the establishment of large-scale stores with a floor area of 3,000㎡ or more in quasi-residential and neighborhood commercial areas, but provides an exception allowing designation through a separate district unit plan if the necessity of a large-scale store is recognized.

Coordinator Kim stated, "Considering the impact on existing commercial districts and through diverse communication with residents, related organizations, and small business owners, we will create a space that can be harmoniously used by both nearby residents and future occupants."
