On April 20, Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation (SH) announced that it will establish a dedicated department for the Urban Public Housing Complex Project.

The Urban Public Housing Complex Project is a government-led initiative to supply housing in underutilized and aging areas that are difficult to redevelop through conventional urban renewal methods, with the public sector participating directly in these developments.

This organizational restructuring follows the 'Seoul-Type Fast-Track Plan for Public Participation Housing Projects' announced by the Seoul Metropolitan Government on April 13. To accelerate the implementation of the Urban Public Housing Complex Project, which is one of the three major Seoul-type public participation housing projects (public redevelopment, Urban Public Housing Complex Project, public cluster housing), SH has established the Urban Public Complex Project Department.

The newly established Urban Public Complex Project Department will be responsible for closely overseeing the entire process of the project, from identifying candidate sites to project execution. SH plans to ensure transparency by releasing information throughout the project and to strengthen communication with local residents, thereby resolving factors that cause project delays and accelerating project progress.

One of the advantages of SH’s participation is that project approval authority can be centralized under the Seoul Metropolitan Government, thereby shortening the project timeline. SH plans to closely cooperate with the Seoul Metropolitan Government to enhance project feasibility and streamline administrative procedures.

Hwang Sangha, President of SH, stated, "As we have established a dedicated organization in line with the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s policy direction, we plan to further accelerate the Urban Public Housing Complex Project. Furthermore, we will actively participate in Seoul-type public participation housing projects to contribute to expanding housing supply and improving aging areas in Seoul."
