'4-Jung Station Area' Anyang Indeogwon to Be Developed as a Compact City

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang City is presiding over the commencement briefing session for the service related to the development of the Indeogwon station area.

Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province is developing the area around Indeokwon, which has the locational advantage of a "quadruple transit hub," into a compact city.

On the 6th, Anyang City announced that it recently held a kickoff briefing for the "Compact City Development and Specialization Plan Establishment Project" chaired by Mayor Choi Dae-ho at the electronic conference room on the 3rd floor of City Hall.

At this briefing, reports and feedback were exchanged regarding ▲specialized development plans reflecting the changing status of Indeokwon ▲creative and innovative development site specialization strategies ▲plans for establishing a landmark (symbolic building).

A compact city is an urban development method that develops the city at high density to reduce urban sprawl, allowing various facilities to be used within one space, thereby minimizing travel time and pursuing economic efficiency.

Through this approach, Anyang City plans to create a complex transfer center including a transfer parking lot and transfer bus stops, 796 apartment units including youth rental housing, a public knowledge industry center, public facilities, and neighborhood living facilities on the urban development site around Indeokwon.

The project duration for this service is 15 months, and Anyang City intends to proceed with the project as quickly as possible.

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang stated, "To strengthen future urban competitiveness and revitalize the local economy, we will realize Indeokwon as a compact city, and with a long-term perspective for the next 100 years, we will develop the city by attracting companies related to new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and creating jobs for youth."

In September 2021, Anyang City lifted the development restriction on a 150,973㎡ site at 157, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, and in April this year, designated the area as an urban development project zone and established and announced the development plan. After completing related administrative procedures, site construction will begin in 2025.

Indeokwon is expected to emerge as a quadruple transit hub with the existing Subway Line 4 and the future addition of the Wolgot?Pangyo Line, Indeokwon?Dongtan Line, and GTX-C Line.
