How About the Complex Development of the Site for the Relocation of the Southern Road Office in the Daerim Station Area, Yeongdeungpo-gu?

Residents of Daerim 1~3-dong, including 33 members such as the Intercultural Participation Group, form a community council... First meeting held on the 5th to introduce projects like Global Food Culture Street development and Southern Road Office relocation site development

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) announced that it has launched a resident council to promote the revitalization of the Daerim Station area together with local residents and held its first meeting.

Daerim-dong has excellent transportation infrastructure, a large floating population, and rich cultural diversity and potential, making it a region with great development possibilities; however, redevelopment projects had been somewhat stagnant until now.

Accordingly, the district started a project in May last year to reorganize the ‘Daerim 2 Living Zone District Unit Plan’ to promote systematic and efficient urban planning in response to changes in local conditions. Following this, it initiated revitalization projects for the Daerim living zone, including plans to create a global food culture specialty street and complex development of the site for the relocation of the Southern Road Office.

In addition, the district launched a resident council composed of 33 members, including representatives from Daerim 1, 2, and 3-dong residents and members of the Intercultural Participation Group representing foreign residents in the area, to listen to vivid opinions on local issues and jointly seek development directions.

The resident council held its first meeting on the 5th, including a commissioner appointment ceremony, and officially began its activities. At the meeting, Yeongdeungpo-gu Mayor Chae Hyun-il, National Assembly member Kim Min-seok, city council members, and council members attended both online and offline to discuss future council operation plans and envision a blueprint for Daerim-dong’s development.

The council will actively participate in the revitalization projects around Daerim Station through regular monthly meetings and occasional meetings. It will play a pivotal role in resident-led urban development by suggesting development directions reflecting local characteristics and exploring ways for resident participation.

Yeongdeungpo-gu Mayor Chae Hyun-il said, “Together with the resident council, we will continuously communicate and cooperate to resolve key issues leading the changes and development of Daerim-dong, such as the reorganization of the Daerim 2 district unit plan, creation of the global food culture specialty street, and development of the Southern Road Office site.” He added, “We will do our best to promote solid urban planning and redevelopment projects so that Daerim-dong, with its infinite development potential, can become a global landmark by combining local characteristics and resource synergies.”
