[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Yangji Hospital in Gwanak-gu, Seoul will be expanded to 12 floors.

On the 9th, Seoul City held the 15th Urban and Architectural Joint Committee meeting and announced that it had approved a revised detailed development plan for the special planning zone of Yangji Hospital within the Sillim District Center district unit planning area.

Yangji Hospital, located near Sillim Station on Subway Line 2, will demolish the existing two old buildings and expand to a new structure with 6 basement floors and up to 12 floors above ground (13,890㎡) following the approval. The roads will also be widened to improve traffic flow in the back area of the site.

At the same meeting, the committee also approved a revised detailed development plan for the Jayang District unit planning and Jayang 11 special planning zone to build public facilities near Ttukseom Resort Station on Subway Line 7.

This area, which includes nearby Ttukseom Hangang Park, is planned to have office facilities and public facilities to address the shortage within the region. As a public contribution, a smart information education center will be constructed to provide a space for residents. The plan also includes height restrictions (under 40m) considering the surrounding area and designation of building setback lines to improve the pedestrian environment.

A Seoul City official said, "With this detailed development plan decision, it is expected that the expansion of insufficient office facilities and the establishment of necessary public facilities within the district will revitalize the area."
