The Urban Complex Project is a project that provides benefits such as increased floor area ratio in aging urban areas and shortens procedures through public implementation to quickly supply housing.

The newly planned districts will undergo a 14-day public opinion hearing from the date of designation, and after obtaining consent from two-thirds of residents (or half of the land area), the official district designation procedures, including review by the Central Urban Planning Committee, will proceed.

A total of 3,900 households will be supplied in these four districts. Specifically, 2,300 households in Yeongdeungpo-gu Singil 15 District, and 942 households near Sagajeong Station in Jungnang-gu. Near Yongma Tunnel in Jungnang-gu and near Nokbeon Station in Eunpyeong-gu will have 486 and 172 households respectively.

The Ministry of Land plans to promptly review the 37 candidate sites prior to designation, in cooperation with local governments, focusing on the level of urban planning regulation relaxations such as floor area ratio.

Subsequently, detailed project plans reflecting the preliminary review results will be provided to residents. If the intention rate exceeds 50%, follow-up procedures such as designation of planned districts will be pursued; if the intention rate is below 50% or opposition exceeds 50%, the candidate site will be excluded. Previously, the candidate site near Banghak Elementary School in Dobong-gu, announced in March 2021, was withdrawn at the request of the local government.

Park Jae-soon, Director of the Public Housing Promotion Division at the Ministry of Land, said, "Since the Urban Complex Project is a project promoted based on residents' consent, we will strengthen the collection of residents' opinions and support smooth project promotion by ensuring that residents receive sufficient information about construction and design companies when selecting contractors in the future."
