Urban Regeneration Around Jeongok Station in Yeoncheon-gun... Linked with Paleolithic Tourism Resources

The urban regeneration project around Jeongok Station in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, will be promoted in connection with Paleolithic tourism resources.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 26th that it approved the "Yeoncheon-gun Jeongok-eup Urban Regeneration Activation Plan (draft)" submitted by Yeoncheon-gun on the 25th after review by the Urban Regeneration Committee.

Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, was selected as a "2023 Second Half Government Urban Regeneration Project Site" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Urban Regeneration Special Committee last year.

This activation plan pursues the vision of "Go to a New Future!, Jeongok, a Prehistoric Specialized City!" and promotes prehistoric specialized projects linked to Paleolithic tourism resources.

Master Plan for Urban Regeneration Activation in Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun

A Jeongok Play Park, a themed playground facility utilizing the prehistoric relics concept, will be created, and in collaboration with the Korean Educational Broadcasting System (EBS), educational content discovery and character development will be carried out to attract family tourists. Specialized streets such as Jeongok-ro, Ongol-ro, and Jeongokyeok-ro will also be developed.

Yeoncheon-gun prepared the activation plan after being selected for this government public contest project following the establishment of an urban regeneration strategic plan in 2021. The urban regeneration project will be promoted over four years from 2024 to 2027.

Kim Tae-su, Director of Urban Regeneration at Gyeonggi-do, said, "We will continuously conduct on-site monitoring and consulting to ensure the smooth progress of the selected projects," adding, "We will spare no administrative and financial support to revitalize declining old downtown areas."

Meanwhile, since 2018, Gyeonggi-do has been supporting provincial funding and expert consulting for urban regeneration strategies and activation plans established by cities and counties to actively promote urban regeneration projects.
