[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The Banpo Jugong 1 Complex in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, has changed its complex plan to enhance access to the Han River.

On the 2nd, Seoul City held the 15th Urban Planning Committee Delegated Subcommittee and announced on the 3rd that it had approved the revised plan for the Banpo Apartment District Development Basic Plan and the reconstruction project maintenance plan for Banpo Jugong 1 Complex Sections 1, 2, and 4.

According to the maintenance plan, the area will have a floor area ratio of 299%, with 49 buildings and 5,256 households. Public rental housing includes 211 long-term lease units under 59㎡ in exclusive area. The plan also reflects public interests such as public office buildings, new schools and reconstruction of nearby schools, new access roads to Banpo Hangang Park, and the creation of covered parks.

Additionally, the original maintenance plan was changed to improve convenience of use, such as access and safety along the Han River, and the public office was relocated to the front of Sinbanpo-ro, where there is heavy resident traffic. To establish a landscape plan that harmonizes with the Han River and surrounding complexes, the main streets and sight corridors of the large complex were divided. Cultural facilities with views of the Han River will be built on the upper floors of apartment buildings close to the river, and these will be donated and opened to the public.

A Seoul city official said, "We expect the reconstruction project to accelerate rapidly through this decision," adding, "A pleasant and safe urban space for local residents will be created by securing public interests such as traffic safety."
