Seoul’s Gangseo-gu is set to engage in full-scale discussions with residents to successfully promote the revitalization of old downtown areas such as Hwagok-dong.


The district announced that it will hold the ‘Regular Meeting of the Public-Private Joint Committee for Old Downtown Revitalization’ on the 19th.


To revitalize the old downtown, the district is promoting various projects including redevelopment, reconstruction, Moa Town, and urban public housing complex projects, with many areas preparing candidate sites for Moa Town within the region.


The meeting was organized to establish a ‘Comprehensive Plan for Old Downtown Revitalization’ to prevent indiscriminate development amid the simultaneous progress of various projects.


The ‘Comprehensive Plan for Old Downtown Revitalization’ will cover ‘land use planning,’ ‘residential area maintenance and management,’ ‘survey and improvement plans for deteriorated and substandard housing,’ as well as ‘infrastructure installation plans’ for balanced regional development. The plan will also include ‘support for individual project implementation’ and ‘measures to induce regional development.’


To this end, the ‘Public-Private Joint Committee for Old Downtown Revitalization’ discusses necessary matters for establishing the comprehensive plan and shares information on projects by region to seek ways to enhance project momentum.


Launched in May, the committee consists of 28 members including the chairperson, vice-chairperson, residents, officials, and experts in redevelopment and reconstruction fields.



A district official stated, “We will actively review the committee’s opinions to ensure thorough establishment of the comprehensive plan for old downtown revitalization,” and added, “We hope for continued interest in promoting the revitalization of old downtown areas.” For more detailed inquiries, please contact the Old Downtown Revitalization Promotion Team at Gangseo-gu Office.
