A public parking lot with 379 spaces is scheduled to be completed in December beneath the Namdong Neighborhood Park in the Incheon Namdong National Industrial Complex.


The Incheon city government began construction of the parking lot in March last year, investing 25.8 billion won from both national and municipal budgets to address the severe problem of illegal parking and stopping within the Namdong Industrial Complex. The project is currently 81% complete.


The city expects that once the project is completed, the total number of public parking spaces in the Namdong Industrial Complex will increase from 261 to 640, helping to alleviate the parking shortage. A survey conducted in 2020 found that the parking supply rate within a 500-meter radius of the project site was only 33.3%, and out of a total of 784 vehicles, 551 were parked illegally.

The Namdong Industrial Complex, the nation’s largest industrial park dedicated to small and medium-sized enterprises, was developed between 1985 and 1997 to provide factory sites for SMEs relocating from the greater Seoul area. Currently, about 8,000 companies are operating in the complex.


Through the Namdong Industrial Complex regeneration project, the city is expanding various infrastructure facilities, including the creation of a 21,000-square-meter park, maintenance of 27,000 square meters of green space, installation of rest areas and bus shelters, and overall improvement of the road environment, in addition to the public parking lot.


The city expects that once all projects are completed, the working environment for industrial complex employees will be greatly improved, and the complex will be transformed into an environmentally friendly and competitive industrial park.


Incheon Mayor Yoo Jungbok, who visited the public parking lot construction site at the Namdong Industrial Complex on the 17th, said, "The Namdong Industrial Complex is a key hub supporting Incheon’s industrial economy. Resolving the parking shortage and expanding infrastructure are essential tasks to enhance the competitiveness of the complex. We will continue to pursue regeneration projects such as the creation of parks, green spaces, and improvements to the road environment to transform the industrial complex into an eco-friendly and competitive site."
