Baekmanuri (34-4, Gopung-ro 43beon-gil, Ilsandong-gu) is a shared-use facility for residents, established in the space beneath the Baekma Overpass. This area had long been neglected, resulting in illegal dumping of trash and unauthorized parking, which led to its deterioration into a slum.

The total floor area is 445.78 square meters. The facility is comprised of shared spaces for residents, such as a book cafe, seminar room, shared office, and small meeting rooms, as well as areas for community activities.

During the pilot operation period, both space rental and cafe use at Baekmanuri will be available. The facility will be open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the in-house cafe will operate from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The official opening of Baekmanuri is scheduled for September.

A Goyang Special City official stated, "Through this pilot operation, we will review our management procedures in advance and collect a wide range of feedback from Baekmanuri users, so that we can ensure stable operation of the facility after its official opening."
