Park Heeyoon, Head of Development at HDC Hyundai Development Company, Lecture on Gwangwoon University Station Area Development

Nowon-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced on the 11th that it held a special lecture for its employees, inviting Park Hee-yoon, Head of Development at HDC Hyundai Development Company (hereafter HDC).

This lecture was part of the ‘Insight Nowon’ program, held once a month for public officials in the district. It was designed to strengthen the capabilities of public servants by understanding rapidly changing social trends and issues, thereby improving the quality of administrative services.

Park Hee-yoon, the invited speaker, gave a lecture titled “Buildings and People That Changed Tokyo,” discussing ways to enhance regional competitiveness from the perspective of a developer (real estate development business operator) who raises the value of cities.

The Gwangwoon University Station area development project, led by the district, is also considered a core project for HDC, which is investing approximately 4.5 trillion won and recently announced its headquarters relocation, demonstrating its commitment.

Nowon-gu and HDC plan to apply a development approach similar to successful urban regeneration and development projects in Japan, where the developer remains involved in the area after the project’s completion and directly participates in its operation to increase the region’s value.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, stated, “We are cooperating with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and HDC to ensure that the Gwangwoon University Station area development becomes a model of development that coexists with the community, not just a simple redevelopment.” He added, “I hope this lecture will serve as an opportunity for our employees to ‘together’ envision and build the future of Nowon.”
