3,015 Housing Units to Be Supplied in Four Areas Including Sosabon-dong, Bucheon

A total of 3,015 housing units will be supplied across four areas, including Sosabon-dong in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province.

On November 5, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that it has approved Bucheon City's small-scale housing maintenance management plan (proposal) for four locations, including Sosabon-dong, with a total of 3,015 units to be supplied.

According to the plan, first, the management area on the east side of Shinhan University, covering 31,334.5 square meters around 108-7 Sosabon-dong, will integrate two street housing maintenance zones, each over 10,000 square meters, to create an apartment complex. The area will be rezoned from a Type 2 General Residential Area to a Type 3 General Residential Area, and 75 public rental housing units will be supplied.

In addition, the management area south of Simgok Library, spanning 66,307 square meters around 562-68 Simgokbon-dong, will consolidate four small street housing maintenance zones and connect with a community space for residents at the foot of Seongjusan Mountain. Here as well, part of the Type 1 General Residential Area will be rezoned to Type 2, and 70 public rental housing units will be supplied.

For the 14,689-square-meter management area north of Seongjusan Mountain, around 620-4 Simgokbon-dong, the plan is to standardize the public parking lot to increase parking capacity.

Furthermore, the management area south of the Catholic University, covering 13,384 square meters around 21 Yeokgok-dong, will integrate standalone apartment buildings and low-rise villas into a single street housing maintenance zone, and sidewalks will be expanded to improve access to public transportation stops.

The small-scale housing maintenance management area system was introduced in 2021 to promote and systematically implement small-scale housing maintenance projects, with each area designated up to a maximum of 100,000 square meters.

An Sung-hyun, Director of Urban Regeneration at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, stated, "Establishing a small-scale housing maintenance management plan allows us to carry out projects on a block scale of appropriate size, which helps achieve balanced redevelopment of the area. We will swiftly renovate aging residential areas in the province's old downtowns through these management plans to improve residents' quality of life, and we will continue to actively support the activation of small-scale housing maintenance, including support for resident proposals for management plans."
