Bucheon City Finalizes "Basic Plan for Industrial Areas"... Transitioning to Future-Oriented Industrial Spaces

On May 18, Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it has finalized and published the "Basic Plan for Industrial Areas," which aims to transform 3.54 square kilometers of industrial zones—excluding industrial complexes—into future-oriented industrial spaces.

This plan is a statutory blueprint established under the "Special Act on the Management and Revitalization of Urban Industrial Areas." It outlines mid- to long-term strategies for systematically managing and revitalizing aging industrial areas that are at risk of decline due to changing industrial conditions and a lack of infrastructure.

The city divided the industrial areas into three types—industrial innovation, industrial maintenance, and industrial management—based on industrial and locational conditions, and proposed tailored management directions for each category.

In addition, to encourage voluntary participation and investment from businesses, Bucheon City established institutional support standards that can be applied when promoting redevelopment projects. By utilizing relevant systems such as public contributions and the provision of open spaces, the city will grant incentives for building coverage ratios and floor area ratios.

Furthermore, while the city will encourage the establishment of future new industries, it plans to restrict new locations for industries that cause environmental impacts such as air pollution, dust, and noise.

An official from Bucheon City stated, "The Basic Plan for Industrial Areas is an important foundation for the systematic management of aging industrial zones and for the transition of the industrial structure," adding, "We will create an environment where businesses can grow and a pleasant urban environment that citizens can experience firsthand."
