Yangcheon-gu Begins Blueprinting for Mota Town Management Plan Service in Mok 4-dong

First Kick-off Meeting Held on December 27... Customized Management Plan Reflecting Local Living Area Characteristics to Be Established... Resident Feedback in Second Half of This Year, Approval and Announcement of Management Plan After Seoul City Integrated Review Targeted

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced on the 4th that it has completed the kickoff meeting for the 'Moatown Management Plan Establishment Project' for the area around 724-1 Mok 4-dong and has officially begun drawing up the blueprint.

This area covers a district size of 52,785㎡ and is one of the representative low-rise residential areas adjacent to Mokdong Apartment Complexes 1 to 4. In particular, the ratio of underground and semi-underground floors is high at 57.3%, making it vulnerable to flooding. Additionally, the reduction of road width due to illegal and roadside parking has deteriorated the pedestrian environment, leading to continuous development requests from residents.

However, since new and old buildings are mixed, it was difficult to promote large-scale development. Reflecting the local infrastructure and residential environment conditions, the district pursued selection for the 'Seoul City Moatown (Small-scale Housing Maintenance Management Area) Target Site Contest' and was selected as a '2023 Moatown Target Site' in July last year.

Accordingly, to establish a customized management plan reflecting the characteristics of the local living area, after selecting a management plan establishment service provider in November, the district held a kickoff meeting for the 'Moatown Management Plan Establishment Project' in December, where the scale of the Moatown, maintenance direction, target site status analysis, and promotion strategies were discussed in depth.

Through this, the management plan will be established based on four promotion strategies: ▲ expansion and reorganization of necessary local living SOC ▲ improvement of living environment in aging and low-rise residential areas ▲ inducement and support of small-scale maintenance projects ▲ realization of systematic urban management.

As for future plans, the Moatown management plan (draft) will be established in the first half of this year, followed by procedures such as collecting residents' opinions and integrated review by Seoul City in the second half, aiming to speed up the approval and announcement of the Moatown management plan.

Meanwhile, the Moatown maintenance projects promoted by the district consist of a total of three areas where redevelopment of aging low-rise residential areas is actively underway. In particular, in December last year, the area around 102-33 Sinwol-dong was finally designated and announced as a legally effective small-scale housing maintenance management area as a Moatown, and the area around 173 Sinwol-dong is also preparing for the approval and announcement of the Moatown management plan after establishing the management plan (draft).

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, "With the full-scale commencement of this project, we will supply quality housing to the aging low-rise residential areas in this district and improve the living environment to be more pleasant." He added, "Since there have been continuous development requests from residents, we will actively support the Moatown project to be carried out smoothly and swiftly."
