Proposal for Gradual Implementation of Gimpo Airport Altitude Restriction Relaxation Measures

Gangseo-gu, Seoul to Hold Resident Briefing on Airport Height Restriction Easing on 24th... Public-Private Joint Promotion Committee Launching in February

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) held a 'Resident Briefing Session on the Relaxation of Gimpo Airport Height Restrictions' at the district office at 4 p.m. on the 24th, targeting redevelopment and reconstruction association leaders and other related parties in the area.

The session was organized to raise consensus on the early promotion of height restriction relaxation and to listen to voices from the field.

The district explained the necessity of early relaxation of height restrictions and the phased implementation plan, and held a Q&A session to address practical concerns.

Attendees agreed that the early promotion of height restriction relaxation is crucial, as it must precede the protection of residents' property rights and the smooth progress of housing maintenance projects.

The district has faced difficulties in promoting redevelopment and reconstruction projects because 97.3% (40.3㎢) of the entire area is subject to height restrictions, infringing on residents' legitimate property rights.

Accordingly, the district has made significant efforts to advance the timing of height restriction relaxation, including submitting a residents' petition to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport urging the relaxation of airport height restrictions.

In February, a 'Public-Private Joint Promotion Committee' will be launched, co-chaired by District Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon and Park Chang-soon, the chairman of the airport height restriction relaxation promotion committee.

The committee will oversee the height restriction relaxation and plan to undertake systematic responses based on more specialized technical reviews.

District Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon stated, “We will promptly promote the height restriction relaxation, a long-cherished wish of residents, in solidarity with neighboring local governments, and through this, significantly accelerate redevelopment and reconstruction projects to achieve balanced development between the old and new downtown areas.”
