Seongnam City Hall

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is launching a research project to ease building height restrictions near Seoul Airport (Sujeong-gu), a long-standing demand of Seongnam citizens and the biggest obstacle to urban development projects.

On the 13th, Seongnam City announced that it signed a research service contract on the 11th with the Korea Society of Air Navigation, a professional research group in the field of aviation operations, for the "Seongnam City 3rd Phase Height Restriction Easing Plan Research and Advisory Service."

The purpose of this research service is to establish new criteria for easing height restrictions and to develop a persuasion strategy plan for the Ministry of National Defense and military-related agencies to prepare measures for easing height restrictions. The research will begin on the 18th and continue for 24 months from the start date.

Based on the results of the research, Seongnam City plans to continuously propose the necessity of easing height restrictions to the Ministry of National Defense and military-related agencies together with a consultative body composed of civilians, government, and politicians.

A Seongnam City official stated, "With the signing of this research service contract, the city's efforts to resolve height restrictions have been fully activated," adding, "We will actively work to ease height restrictions to lay the foundation for Seongnam City to become a hub of advanced industries."
