On March 24, Incheon City announced that it plans to complete the fifth phase (2.4㎢) of the residential land development project for Geomdan New City in Seo-gu, the city’s second-generation new town, by the end of this year.


The fifth phase covers an area of approximately 2.4 million square meters and will include 16 blocks for multi-family housing sites, as well as sites for housing construction. Urban infrastructure such as parks and green spaces, roads, and water and sewage systems will also be established.


Geomdan New City is a major new town development project in the northwestern area of Incheon, featuring a large-scale residential land development initiative that combines residential, commercial, educational, and park facilities. After being designated as a residential development zone in 2007, the development plan was approved in 2009, followed by the implementation plan in 2010. Full-scale construction began in 2015.
