Anyang City 2040 Urban Spatial Structure

The city of Anyang in Gyeonggi Province has set its population target for 2040 at 600,000.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 9th that it has approved the '2040 Anyang Urban Master Plan' submitted by Anyang City.

According to the main details, the target population for 2040 was set at 600,000, which is 50,000 more than the current population (550,000), considering the influx of people due to various development projects.

Estimating land demand for the target year, out of the total administrative area (58.50㎢), 2.618㎢ of developable land for urban development was designated as planned urbanization land, 22.254㎢ of existing developed land as urbanized land, and the remaining 33.628㎢ as conservation land, adjusting the land use plan accordingly.

The urban spatial structure was set around 2 downtown centers and 6 regional centers, with urban development axes defined as two north-south axes and one east-west axis.

The plans for each living zone were divided into four zones?Seoksu-Bakdal, Anyang-Myeonghak, Bisan-Gwanyang, and Pyeongchon-Hogye?to achieve strategies such as establishing a 4th Industrial Revolution cluster, building a culture-integrated ecological belt, strengthening downtown functions, and revitalizing station areas.

Key transportation plans incorporated metropolitan transit projects such as the Wolgot-Pangyo Line, Sinansan Line, and the Seoul Metropolitan Area Express Railway (GTX)-C line. Additionally, public transportation plans include improvements to the rail station-centered transit system, establishment of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, and expansion of the intercity bus terminal and transfer centers.
