Promotion of Integrated Development for Hongje-dong 'Gaemi Village,' One of Seoul's Last Hilltop Neighborhoods
Resumption of Consent Collection for Rapid Integrated Redevelopment Planning
Plans to Improve Terrain (Hill Area) and Profitability Issues by Upgrading Land Use Zones

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seong-heon) is promoting a rapid integrated planning redevelopment by integrating the ‘Gaemi Village’ in Hongje-dong, the adjacent Hongje 4 redevelopment deregulated area, and the cultural village area that was excluded from public redevelopment.

Gaemi Village is a representative old and deteriorated residential area in Seoul that urgently needs development. Since the development restriction zone was lifted in 2006, various development methods such as redevelopment projects and residential environment management projects have been pursued, but progress has been stalled due to complex ownership relations and low project feasibility.

Lee Seong-heon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, appointed an urban planning expert as the chief planner and integrated three individually difficult-to-develop areas to prepare an integrated development plan tailored to the characteristics of each area.

The district plans to establish a rational land use plan considering the hilly terrain and lack of project feasibility, and improve project feasibility through zoning upgrades.

Residents also agreed to the integrated development plan and applied for the assignment of a rapid integrated planning candidate site number to Seodaemun-gu last month, and the district issued the consent form. Subsequently, at the residents' request, a briefing session was held at Dongsung Church in Hongje-dong on the 30th of last month.

The district plans to recommend the site as a rapid integrated planning candidate site to Seoul City once the application for designation as a rapid integrated planning candidate site is submitted by residents. The selection of candidate sites will be decided by Seoul City.

Lee Seong-heon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, “Gaemi Village is an area urgently needing residential environment improvement due to vulnerability to fire and concerns about stone wall collapse. We will provide active administrative support so that the project can be promoted through the rapid integrated planning redevelopment method.”
