Guro-gu, Establishment of Basic Urban Development Plan

Guro-gu Launches Basic Urban Development Plan Establishment Project

Preparing a Mid- to Long-Term Comprehensive Plan Presenting Guro-gu’s Urban Development Direction and Future Urban Spatial Structure

Appointing an Urban Planning Expert as Master Planner (MP) to Oversee the Entire Planning Process

Guro-gu held a kickoff meeting for the basic urban development plan establishment project on the 12th to realize the vision of District Mayor Moon Heon-il, "Changing Guro."

About 40 participants, including Mayor Moon Heon-il and heads of related departments, attended the kickoff meeting to discuss the project’s direction in depth.

The Guro-gu basic urban development plan project is being promoted to establish a unique mid- to long-term urban development plan for Guro-gu by reflecting the "2040 Seoul Basic Urban Plan" announced in January this year, aiming to envision a new future for the city by 2050.

The project will be carried out over 18 months from the start date.

The main contents of the project include ▲analysis of local issues and changing conditions in Guro-gu ▲setting Guro-gu’s vision and goals ▲establishing a basic concept and sectoral urban spatial plans ▲selecting key projects and preparing implementation plans ▲and establishing measures for plan realization.

To ensure effective and professional project execution, the district appointed Professor Kim Se-hoon of Seoul National University, an expert in urban planning, as the Master Planner (MP).

The Master Planner (MP) not only advises on plans developed by expert groups and execution strategies to improve residents’ quality of life but also plays an effective role throughout the project process, including social consensus with residents regarding spatial use.

Mayor Moon Heon-il expressed his determination, saying, “Considering Seoul as a whole, Guro-gu is located on the outskirts, so it is necessary to continuously present our own urban plans to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Let’s create a competitive city by reflecting the stories we experience and live by and the growth potential of Guro.”

In the second half of the year, the district plans to form a resident participation group to collect local opinions on the basic urban development plan and establish and operate an Urban Development Promotion Committee to facilitate collaboration among experts from various fields and related departments.
