Siheung City Population 690,000 by 2040... Gyeonggi-do Approves Siheung Urban Master Plan

Spatial Structure of Siheung City in 2040

Gyeonggi Province officially approved Siheung City's '2040 Siheung Urban Master Plan (Draft)' on the 20th.

This urban master plan is the highest-level spatial plan presenting the future and long-term development directions of Siheung City. It serves as a blueprint for urban development by outlining the basic policies and strategies for sustainable national land management.

According to the main contents, Siheung City has set its target population for 2040 at 690,000 (currently 584,000).

Among Siheung City's total administrative area (166.6㎢), 13.281㎢ of developable land for urban development is planned as urbanization planned land, 37.928㎢ of already urbanized existing development land is designated as urbanized land, and the remaining 115.391㎢ is designated as conservation land, finalizing the land use plan.

The spatial structure was set from one central city, three sub-centers, and one regional center to one central city, two sub-centers, and four regional centers, considering the changes in Siheung City's urban area, transportation axis trends, and growth potential.

The living zones are planned into three areas: northern, central, and southern regions. Development strategies include improving the residential environment of the old downtown, expanding cultural and welfare infrastructure, creating an ecological and recreational city, and upgrading existing industrial complexes.

Key transportation plans reflect road network plans such as the Capital Region Second Ring Expressway, expansion of railway networks including the extension of the Sin-Guro Line and Incheon Subway Line 2, introduction of demand-responsive transit (DRT) buses, and plans to build a smart transportation city.

The approved 2040 Siheung Urban Master Plan will be publicly available on Siheung City's website in December.
