On the 17th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that the Special Subcommittee on the 13th Rapid Integrated Planning Maintenance Project approved a revised plan for the designation of maintenance zones and reconstruction maintenance plans and landscape review for Mokdong Complexes 8, 12, and 13 in Yangcheon-gu. All three complexes will be subject to a floor area ratio of 300% or less.

Mokdong Complex 8 will be reconstructed into a maximum of 49 floors with 1,881 households (including 293 rental units). Complex 8 is located between Mokdong Station and Omokgyo Station on Line 5 and is surrounded by schools such as Seojeong Elementary School and Jinmyeong Girls' High School, as well as Yangcheon Park. Currently, Complex 8 consists of 15 buildings with 1,352 households, mainly small to medium-sized units.

According to the maintenance plan, green spaces will be created along Mokdong-ro to connect schools and Yangcheon Neighborhood Park, and a public pedestrian passage will be installed through the center of the complex. A three-dimensional pedestrian walkway will be constructed to connect the walking paths severed by the Seochon Underpass (Mokdong-ro) on the west side of the complex, linking it to Complex 9. A new children's park adjacent to Seojeong Elementary School and Jinmyeong Girls' High School will also be established. The public pedestrian passage in the center of the complex will be connected to Yangcheon Neighborhood Park. Neighborhood living facilities and open community spaces will be installed along Mokdongseo-ro, linked with the commercial area on the east side of the project site.

Mokdong Complex 13 will be transformed into a maximum of 49 floors with 3,811 households (including 570 rental units) after reconstruction. The number of households increased by 60 compared to the initial plan announced during the public inspection. Complex 13 consists of 33 buildings with 2,280 households and passed the safety inspection in February last year. It is located in the station area of Yangcheon-gu Office Station on Line 2 and is close to the academy district behind Mokdong.

The maintenance plan includes the installation of two public pedestrian passages connecting the central area, surrounding complexes, and Yangcheon-gu Office Station on Line 2. Neighborhood living facilities will be arranged adjacent to the northern Mokdong central district of the project site. The width of Mokdongdong-ro and adjacent roads inside and outside the project site will be widened by 3 meters to secure bicycle lanes and pedestrian spaces.

Mokdong Complex 12 will be reconstructed up to 43 floors with 2,810 households (including 367 rental units). Complex 12 falls under the airport approach zone and is subject to height restrictions according to the Airport Facilities Act. It currently consists of 26 buildings with a maximum of 15 floors and 1,860 households. It passed the safety inspection in January last year and submitted the rapid integrated planning proposal in May of the same year. The complex is close to Gaenam Neighborhood Park, Sintree Park, and Yangcheon-gu Office Station on Line 2.

Pedestrian-only roads and public pedestrian passages connecting Complex 12 with surrounding complexes and Yangcheon-gu Office Station on Line 2 will be installed. A small park will be created around Gaenam Elementary School to expand parks and green spaces near the school. The width of roads near the project site will be widened by 1.5 to 3 meters to secure bicycle lanes and pedestrian spaces. Considering the increase in the number of households due to the large-scale reconstruction project in Mokdong, a kindergarten site will be newly established as part of the plan.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to announce the maintenance plan reflecting the revised approval from this review and finalize the architectural plan through integrated review.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Housing Office of Seoul City, said, "Mokdong Complexes 8, 12, and 13 are projects under the rapid integrated planning advisory project method within the Mokdong district. Once the reconstruction projects are completed, it is expected that the residential environment will be greatly improved along with the reconstruction of nearby complexes."
