On the 13th, Seoul City held the 4th Urban Planning Committee Rapid Integrated Planning Redevelopment Project and the Authorized Subcommittee meeting, and on the 14th announced that it had approved with modifications the designation of the redevelopment district and the amendment of the redevelopment plan for Yangpyeong 13 District urban maintenance-type redevelopment project in the area of 33-20, Yangpyeong-dong 2-ga.

Yangpyeong 13 District was designated as an urban environment maintenance district in September 2009, and the establishment of the association and project implementation plan were approved the following year. However, the project was long stalled due to lack of profitability and other reasons. Later, in January 2021, it was selected as the first candidate site for the public redevelopment project, securing public interest and project feasibility through the participation of Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH) and the application of floor area ratio relaxation, regaining momentum for project promotion.

The area of Yangpyeong 13 District is a semi-industrial zone where residential and industrial facilities are mixed. It was planned as industrial land to maintain the existing industrial base, residential land to support it, and public facility land. On the industrial land, a knowledge industry center with 2 basement floors and 13 above-ground floors will be built; on the residential land, a residential complex with 556 households (including 203 rental units) will be constructed; and on the public facility land, a public complex office building with 2 basement floors and 5 above-ground floors will be established.

The central part of the residential land is planned to have the tallest building (36 floors), with the surrounding areas designed lower considering the surrounding development status to create a harmonious landscape inside and outside the complex. An 8-meter-wide public pedestrian passage and a 14-meter-wide street within the complex were planned considering the existing street system to secure connectivity of existing pedestrian routes and an open visual axis. Plazas and community facilities were placed at the junctions of the public pedestrian passage and the internal streets to promote the formation of local communities.

Industrial facilities were placed adjacent to Yangpyeong Station to promote industrial revitalization and to induce network formation by locating them near existing industrial facilities. Neighborhood living facilities supporting industrial facilities are arranged on the 1st and 2nd floors. The outdated Yangpyeong 1-dong Community Center and daycare center will be relocated to the public facility land within the district, and new facilities such as a middle-aged community support center and a smart silver center will be newly established, strengthening the function as a complex office building.

With the decision on this redevelopment plan, Seoul City expects the creation of large-scale industrial facilities and high-quality residential complexes in the deteriorated semi-industrial area, leading to urban landscape improvement and revitalization of the city.
