Uijeongbu City Accelerates Spatial Reorganization Around Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park... Begins Urban Innovation District Designation

Uijeongbu City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Donggeun) has officially launched the "Uijeongbu City Spatial Restructuring Plan and Urban Innovation District Designation Project" to develop a spatial reorganization strategy for the area around Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park, which was selected as a candidate site for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Leading Spatial Innovation Project in July.

This project is being carried out as a preliminary planning effort to effectively promote long-term changes and the reorganization of urban functions in the area around Uijeongbu Station, in response to the Leading Spatial Innovation Project.

Since the project began in September, the city has conducted preliminary surveys and current status analyses. On November 19, a kickoff meeting was held, presided over by the mayor, to share the direction of the project and key issues for review.

The main issues for review include: ▲setting appropriate district boundaries to maximize the function of the innovation district; ▲developing strategies to maintain park functions, such as establishing a multi-level park at Yeokjeon Neighborhood Park; and ▲conducting preliminary traffic volume surveys to address the limitations of existing road capacity.

Based on these efforts, the city plans to establish a draft plan by next year, conduct prior consultations with relevant departments and agencies, and then pursue the designation of the urban innovation district through deliberation by the central and Gyeonggi Province Urban Planning Committees.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "The area around Uijeongbu Station is a key region where groundbreaking changes in the transportation environment, such as the opening of the GTX-C line, are planned. We will proactively respond to these changes and develop a feasible spatial innovation plan that citizens can truly experience."
