Gangbuk-gu, Insu-bong Supgil Village Selected as a Leading Site for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 'New:Village' Project

Supply of Infrastructure and Convenience Facilities such as Parking Lots and Parks

Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 27th that Insu-bong Supgil Village (around 516-21 Suyu-dong, project area 54,848.7㎡) has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s urban regeneration ‘New:Village’ contest project.

The Ministry of Land’s ‘New:Village’ project is a program that provides financial and institutional incentives and supports the installation of public infrastructure and convenience facilities as a package when the private sector renovates housing in aging low-rise residential areas that have been left in maintenance blind spots due to difficulties in full redevelopment or reconstruction.

The area around Insu-bong Supgil Village in Gangbuk-gu, located near Bukhansan, is designated as a natural scenic district and height-restricted zone, subject to strict building regulations. It is a low-rise residential area densely populated with old and poor-quality buildings, severely lacking in living convenience facilities and parking spaces, making residential environment improvement urgent.

In this area, a total project cost of 21.9 billion KRW will be invested over five years from next year to 2029, aiming to improve the residential environment through housing maintenance promotion and infrastructure expansion under the New:Village project.

Earlier, in October, Insu-bong Supgil Village was selected as a candidate site for the city’s ‘Human Town 2.0’ project. The city plans to establish related statutory plans and officially start the project by the first half of next year.

Going forward, Insu-bong Supgil Village will receive multifaceted support for private housing maintenance by linking the ‘New:Village’ and ‘Human Town 2.0’ projects. To maximize the effect of low-rise residential area maintenance, special building zones will be designated during new construction and remodeling, providing various relaxations of building standards, expert architectural consultation, and financial support such as interest differential compensation.

Additionally, a Moa Center (village management office) will be established to comprehensively provide housing and village management services.

District Mayor Lee Soon-hee said, “We will do our best to activate housing maintenance and improve the residential environment by creating infrastructure and convenience facilities through the New:Village project.”
