The Gangbuk District Office in Seoul is promoting the "Green Parking Village Project (Green Parking)," which provides construction cost support for residents who remove fences to create parking lots, in an effort to alleviate parking shortages in residential areas.

The project consists of two components: "Fence Removal" and "Converted Parking Lots on Leftover Land." The fence removal initiative involves demolishing the fences or gates of single-family, multi-family, and row houses to create parking spaces, with landscaping facilities installed in the remaining area.

Households can receive up to 10 million won per parking space, and up to 30 million won if additional spaces are secured. For households requiring security, part of the cost for installing security windows and doors is also supported. However, houses that have been confirmed for new construction due to New Town, redevelopment, or reconstruction projects are excluded from eligibility.

The converted parking lot project on leftover land utilizes vacant lots or unused open spaces within residential areas to install parking facilities. Construction costs are supported up to 3 million won per parking space, and for lots with more than 20 spaces, up to 1.5 million won per space. The newly established parking lots will be operated as resident-priority parking zones, and landowners will be eligible for parking fee revenue or property tax reduction benefits.

Residents wishing to participate can call the Parking Facilities Team at the Parking Management Division (02-901-5953) or apply through the Gangbuk District Office website. After application, the process proceeds with an on-site visit and consent procedure before construction begins.

An official from the district office stated, "The Green Parking Village Project plays a significant role in resolving conflicts among residents caused by a lack of parking spaces and in creating a safer walking environment," adding, "We aim to create a safe and pleasant neighborhood through active resident participation."
