[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] A community complex center will be established near Dunchon-dong Station in Gangdong-gu.

Seoul City announced on the 28th that it held the '17th Urban and Architectural Joint Committee' and approved the designation and plan (draft) for the district unit planning area for the station area revitalization project at 489 Dunchon-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, which includes this content, with modifications.

Seoul City plans to change the zoning of the area around 489 Dunchon-dong from Type 3 General Residential Area to Neighborhood Commercial Area and build a community complex center and urban residential facilities there. They also plan to supply 109 private apartment units and 19 public rental housing units suitable for 3-4 person households. However, Seoul City stated that specific details such as the number of units may change during the approval process.

Additionally, the lower floors will have non-residential facilities such as neighborhood living facilities, securing sufficient front setbacks to promote street activation and improve the pedestrian environment.

Seoul City explained that after going through approval procedures including the architectural committee review, construction permits will be issued in the first half of 2022, with completion scheduled for 2024.

Choi Jin-seok, Director of the Seoul City Urban Planning Bureau, said, "We will continue to listen to citizens' voices and actively consider introducing facilities necessary for regional revitalization," adding, "We will realize a compact city with close proximity between residence and work centered around station areas."
