Swimming Pool Appears in Seoul Youth Safety Housing... Citizens Also Allowed to Use It
Opening of 'Eunpyeong Cheong Yeoul Swimming Pool' on the 7th
The 'Youth Safe Housing' operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government is evolving into a new communication and cultural hub that interacts with the local community. In addition to fitness centers and small libraries, facilities such as daycare centers, swimming pools, and literary museums have recently been established to play a vital role in connecting residents, the community, and generations.
On the 7th, Seoul announced that it will hold an opening ceremony for the community facility 'Eunpyeong Cheongyeoul Swimming Pool' at the Youth Safe Housing in Daejo-dong, Eunpyeong-gu. The ceremony will be attended by about 100 people, including Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Eunpyeong-gu Mayor Kim Mi-kyung.
The Youth Safe Housing in Daejo-dong (Hoban Verdiem Stay One), which opened a swimming pool on the first floor above ground, consists of 977 units in total, ranging from six basement floors to 28 floors above ground. It offers 347 public rental units at 30-50% of the surrounding market rent and 630 private rental units (special supply) at 85-95% of the market price.
The Eunpyeong Cheongyeoul Swimming Pool at the Daejo-dong Youth Safe Housing is a facility created by the project implementer for local residents and donated to Eunpyeong-gu. It features five 20-meter lanes and can accommodate up to 75 people simultaneously. After a free pilot operation for Eunpyeong residents throughout June, it will officially open in July.
On the first and second floors above ground, a 'public daycare center' has been established, recruiting infants and toddlers since March this year to provide stable childcare services to the community. Next to it, a 996㎡ 'literary museum' has been created, which is scheduled to showcase various artworks starting early next year.
Meanwhile, Youth Safe Housing is not only communicating with the community through its community facilities but is also becoming a space that connects generations. On the first basement floor of the Daejo-dong Youth Safe Housing, the senior citizens' organization (Korean Senior Citizens Association Eunpyeong Branch) moved in this March, utilizing the space to support social activities for the elderly, making it not just housing for youth.
In April, Seoul announced plans to supply 120,000 units of 'Youth Safe Housing' by 2030 that coexist with the community and generations. It also stated that from the early stages of the Youth Safe Housing projects, local governments will participate in the 'Integrated Deliberation Committee' to reflect residents' opinions and that procedures will be improved to prioritize facilities needed by the community.
Seoul plans to actively create essential living SOC (social overhead capital) facilities based on the opinions of not only incoming youth residents but also local residents, continuously developing Youth Safe Housing into a 'complex cultural residential space.'
