This Moa Town project is especially significant as it is the first case in Dongjak District to be selected through a resident proposal. With a resident consent rate of 77.37%, the project is expected to gain momentum. The 102-8 Dongjakdong area is a 21,211-square-meter low-rise residential zone on hilly terrain. Unlike the adjacent area where apartment complexes have been developed, this area was excluded from previous development projects, resulting in a high proportion of aging homes and a lack of social infrastructure.


The district plans to establish a Moa Town management plan to expand basic infrastructure, including improving access roads, enhancing the pedestrian environment, and creating community-oriented rest areas. A systematic redevelopment will be promoted to harmonize with the surrounding areas. In addition, the district intends to develop a distinctive architectural plan to present a new model for Moa Towns.



Dongjak District Mayor Park Ilha stated, "With the selection of this Moa Town, the Dongjakdong area will be transformed into a forest-accessible residential complex within the city," adding, "We will continue to focus all administrative efforts on rapidly transforming the map of Dongjak."
