Minister Hong Ji-sun Urges Faster Redevelopment of Ilsan, First-Generation New Town
Published
Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Hong Ji-sun said that visible progress is needed in the redevelopment of Ilsan New Town's first-generation projects, and urged that the pace of the projects be accelerated.
Ilsan New Town is one of the first-generation new towns developed in the early 1990s. Nearly 30 years after construction, its apartments and infrastructure have aged, and the need for redevelopment has steadily been raised. This call is interpreted as meaning that redevelopment projects should not remain at the planning stage but should lead to real change.
Minister Hong stressed that results residents can feel must be delivered. Because redevelopment involves multiple stages, she takes the position that relevant agencies and local governments should cooperate to advance the procedures quickly.
At present, the Ilsan New Town redevelopment project is proceeding with resident opinion gathering and administrative procedures in parallel. Attention is focused on how specific implementation schedules and results will unfold going forward.
