Rapid Integrated Planning Architectural Layout Plan for 39-361 Yongdu 1(il)-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Seoul City

The area around 39-361 Yongdu-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, adjacent to Cheongnyangni Station in Seoul, will be transformed into a residential complex with up to 42 floors and 695 units through rapid integrated planning.

On August 25, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it has finalized the rapid integrated planning for the 39-361 Yongdu-dong area.

This site is adjacent to the Cheongnyangni Redevelopment Promotion District and the Jeonnong-Dapsimni Redevelopment Promotion District. However, it has been an area urgently in need of environmental improvement due to aging houses and narrow alleys. With the finalization of this rapid integrated planning, the area is set to be reborn as a pedestrian-friendly complex.

The plan will be implemented based on three main principles: an integrated spatial plan in harmony with surrounding areas; the creation of an open community linked to pedestrian streets; and the development of a creative landscape.

First, public pedestrian pathways within the complex will be secured to improve the walking environment and enhance safety and convenience. In addition, Cheonhodaero 45-gil and Gosan-ro 30-gil nearby will be widened from their current one lane to three lanes to improve the traffic system. Some sections of Cheonhodaero 39-gil will also be widened to increase convenience for users of social welfare facilities.

Furthermore, customized living convenience spaces will be provided. Along the main pedestrian axis and public pedestrian pathways within the complex, open community facilities such as a resident integration community center and daycare centers will be established to enhance convenience.

The urban landscape will also be improved. In line with the development direction of the Cheongnyangni Station area, the plan will open up north-south views and be designed to harmonize with the eco-friendly landscape of Cheonggyecheon. In addition, a specialized design will be applied to block noise from the nearby railway, creating a harmonious urban image.

Customized urban planning measures, such as upgrading the zoning and increasing the standard floor area ratio, have been applied to enhance business feasibility. The area has been upgraded from a Type 2 (7-story) and Type 2 residential zone to a Type 3 residential zone, further strengthening the project's viability.

Choi Jinseok, Director of Housing at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, stated, "With the finalization of the rapid integrated planning for Yongdu-dong, we will expand the supply of housing in resident-centered complexes specialized for transportation and pedestrian access. We expect to see not only improvements in the local residential environment but also gradual changes in the urban landscape around Cheongnyangni Station."

Meanwhile, with the finalization of this rapid integrated planning, 129 out of 205 targeted sites in Seoul have now completed their plans. As a result, the foundation for supplying a total of 223,000 housing units has been established.
