The Bongcheon 14 District (area around 4-51 Bongcheon-dong) is an area where old and deteriorated buildings over 30 years old are densely concentrated, and where urgent improvement of infrastructure such as narrow alleyways is needed. Since being designated as a maintenance district in 2014, a maintenance plan has been established reflecting residents' demands and changes in the urban environment. After going through various reviews related to transportation, architecture, and environment, the full-scale redevelopment project is being launched after about 11 years.

Through this project, the area around 4-51 Bongcheon (Cheongnim)-dong will see the construction of 18 apartment buildings ranging from 4 basement levels to 27 above-ground stories, totaling 1,571 units (including 260 rental units), along with ancillary and welfare facilities. As a public contribution, a new multi-purpose government building will be constructed on the site of the existing Cheongnim-dong Community Service Center, which will include the Dodam Public Daycare Center, welfare facilities for the elderly, and a community center. In addition, a small park will be created for use by all nearby residents.

Following the approval of the implementation plan, subsequent procedures such as sales, relocation and demolition, and groundbreaking will proceed in earnest. The district expects that the Bongcheon 14 District redevelopment project will supply high-quality housing and improve the residential environment and urban competitiveness of Gwanak-gu.

Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, stated, "With the approval of this implementation plan, the previously stalled maintenance project can now proceed at a faster pace," and added, "We will actively support the project to ensure its success through transparent administration and swift procedures."
