Gwangju Dong-gu (District Mayor Lim Taek) announced on the 31st that it will comprehensively reorganize long-term unexecuted urban planning facilities within the district unit plan of natural villages that have been released from development-restricted zones.

The natural villages in Dong-gu include eight areas (6.16㎢): Namgye, Naeji, Gyo-Sondong, Hwasan, Yongyeon, Nokdong, Junam, and Chiljeon villages.

This reorganization is being promoted as the sunset period (2026) for urban planning facilities within the district unit plan areas of natural villages released from the development-restricted zone (GB) in 2006 is approaching.

Dong-gu plans to begin a service to establish the reorganization of the district unit plan in March. Afterward, the district will fully review the necessity and utilization of infrastructure plans to suit the conditions of the area, collecting opinions from local residents and consulting with related agencies, and will prepare alternatives for roads, parking lots, parks, and green spaces that are deemed less necessary.

Lim Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, "We will listen to the opinions of local residents until the sunset of the urban planning facilities to ensure that the facilities are reorganized rationally and efficiently," adding, "Through this, we will do our best to reduce the budget and protect the property rights of residents."
