Redevelopment Maintenance Plan for Jangan-dong Area Approved with Amendments... Project to Supply 1,754 Housing Units

Creation of Public Pedestrian Passages Connecting Dapsimni Park and Jungnangcheon Stream
Easing of Permissible Floor Area Ratio from 234% to 244%

Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 8th that on the 6th it held the "1st Urban Planning Authority Subcommittee" meeting, where it approved with amendments the decision on the maintenance plan and designation of the maintenance zone for the "Redevelopment Project for Housing Maintenance in the Area around 134-15, Jangan-dong," as well as the landscape review agenda.

The area around 134-15, Jangan-dong, Dongdaemun-gu is rich in natural resources such as Baebong Mountain to the west and Jungnangcheon Stream and Yongma Mountain to the east, and the opening of the Myeonmok Line light rail is planned to the north. Compared with the living zones of Cheongnyangni, Jeonnong/Dapsimni, and Imun/Hwigyeong, development in this area has been relatively stagnant. With this decision, it is expected to become a turning point for improving the residential environment and revitalizing the wider Jangan-dong living zone.

Under this maintenance plan, the Type 2 (7-story) General Residential Zone will be upgraded to a Type 3 General Residential Zone, and by applying a development feasibility adjustment coefficient of 1.5, the permissible floor area ratio has been eased from the existing 234% to 244%. With a planned floor area ratio of 298%, a maximum of 36 stories, and a total of 1,754 units (including 391 public housing units), the project is scheduled to supply housing on this scale.

A spatial plan has also been drawn up to reflect changes in urban conditions and local characteristics such as transportation and landscape. Taking into account the east-west pedestrian flow connecting Hancheon-ro and Jungnangcheon Stream, the plan includes small parks and cultural parks so that they can be linked with nearby parks in the project area, and creates public pedestrian passages within the complex to establish a circular greenway system connected to surrounding parks. The public pedestrian passages will secure an open circulation axis connecting Dapsimni Park, Jangi Small Park, and Yongma Mountain, and will form an urban landscape that harmonizes with neighboring buildings. Around the center of the complex, high-rise residential buildings of around 36 stories will be arranged with consideration for view corridors, while along major streets such as Dapsimni-ro and Hancheon-ro 36-gil, mid- to low-rise buildings are planned to create a flexible skyline.

An official from Seoul Metropolitan Government said, "We expect that this decision on the maintenance plan will serve as an opportunity to inject new vitality into the stagnant Jangan-dong area," adding, "We will continue to actively support follow-up administrative procedures, including integrated deliberations, so that the supply of high-quality housing can be promoted swiftly."
