Guro-gu, Gocheok-dong and Guro-dong Moa Town Project Progressing Smoothly

On the 9th, Resident Briefings Held for Moa Town Management Plan (Draft) in Gocheok-dong 241 Area and Guro-dong 728 Area

The redevelopment projects in the Gocheok-dong 241 area and Guro-dong 728 area of Guro-gu, Seoul are progressing smoothly.

Guro-gu Office (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced that it held resident briefings on the Moa Town management plan (draft) for the Gocheok-dong 241 area and Guro-dong 728 area, which were selected as Moa Town target sites, on the 9th.

The resident briefings were held at 2 PM and 6 PM at Crystal Full Gospel Church in Gocheok-dong and the first-floor auditorium of the Guro Community Center, respectively, with landowners and stakeholders from the respective areas in attendance.

Officials from the district explained detailed contents, procedures, and plans regarding the Moa Town management plan (draft), and gathered residents’ opinions through a Q&A session.

Moa Town (small-scale housing maintenance management area) is a new redevelopment model for aging low-rise residential areas where large-scale redevelopment is difficult. It involves grouping Moa Houses by blocks to form complexes, where apartment-style multi-family housing and convenience facilities are developed together.

In the first half of 2022, Guro-gu selected the Gocheok-dong 241 area and Guro-dong 728 area as Moa Town target sites.

In this regard, the district conducted a management plan establishment project for these sites in December 2022 and held a kickoff meeting for the management plan establishment project on March 2nd.

The district plans to complete consultations with related departments and expert advice by August and apply for approval of the management plan from the Seoul Metropolitan Government in September.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We will actively support the prompt and smooth progress of redevelopment and reconstruction projects currently underway, including the Moa Town target sites.”

Meanwhile, Guro-gu additionally selected the Gaebong-dong 270-38 area as a Moa Town target site in the second half of 2022, and is currently promoting Moa Town projects in a total of three locations.
