The urban complex project is a public initiative in aging urban areas such as station areas, semi-industrial zones, and low-rise residential areas, providing various benefits such as floor area ratio bonuses to rapidly supply high-quality housing. Since the project was introduced in February 2021, 10 districts including Yeonsinnae Station in Seoul have completed district designation.

A total of 9,422 housing units are expected to be supplied in the five newly designated planned urban complex project districts. In Geumgwang 2-dong, a low-rise residential area, a total of 3,056 households are planned to be supplied over an area of 139,565㎡, making it the largest supply among the five districts. The other four districts?Jungdong Station East and West Sides, North Side of Sosa Station, and South Side of Dongam Station?are designated as station area types.

The five districts designated as planned urban complex project districts will listen to residents' opinions for 14 days starting from July 10, and then proceed with administrative procedures for official district designation, including obtaining two-thirds of residents' consent and reviews by the Central Land Expropriation Committee and the Central Urban Planning Committee.

Previously, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been operating nine official urban complex project districts in the metropolitan area, including six in Seoul, one in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, and two in Incheon. In Busan, the Buam district was designated as an official district in December last year and the project is underway.

Park Jae-soon, Director of the Public Housing Promotion Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, “To ensure the smooth progress of the urban complex project, we will promptly proceed with the designation procedures for other urban complex project candidate sites with high resident support and continue necessary efforts such as system improvements.”
