The ‘Da(Ga)chi Community Center,’ a key facility of the Sinpyeong Urban Regeneration Project in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, will begin construction in May.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 13th that it plans to build the Da(Ga)chi Community Center at 71-7 Pyeongtaek-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, with a total floor area of 4,179.03㎡, spanning from two basement levels to four above ground floors.

The center will provide spaces for education, counseling, and cultural experiences about Korean culture for foreigners and multicultural residents, as well as support stable retirement preparation for the 50s and 60s middle-aged generation. The completion target is July 2026.

The Pyeongtaek Sinpyeong Urban Regeneration Project was selected in 2019 as a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport public contest project and promotes various initiatives according to the urban regeneration activation plan, including ▲creation of win-win cooperation shopping districts ▲youth support and development projects ▲expansion of parking lots and creation of pocket rest areas ▲establishment of an urban regeneration harmony center ▲operation of local capacity-building programs.

This urban regeneration project is expected to revitalize the depressed alley commercial districts around Pyeongtaek Station, improve aging residential environments, promote multicultural exchange, and strengthen community capabilities to breathe new life into the original downtown area.

Kim Tae-su, Director of the Urban Regeneration Division of Gyeonggi-do, stated, "Active and continuous participation of local residents is very important for successful urban regeneration," adding, "We will actively promote the original downtown urban regeneration project in cooperation with cities and counties to achieve results."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi-do has achieved the highest number nationwide with 66 sites selected in government urban regeneration public contest projects by last year, in cooperation with cities, counties, and urban regeneration support centers to revitalize declining original downtown areas within the province. Including 13 Gyeonggi-do type urban regeneration projects, urban regeneration projects are being promoted at 79 sites.
