Seoul City announced on the 9th that it will provide housing for newlyweds in areas where the greenbelt (development restriction zone) has been lifted. This is part of a government plan to expand housing supply by lifting the greenbelt and creating new housing sites for 80,000 households in the metropolitan area.
The city plans to expedite the process by implementing the project quickly in areas where possible, even before the law is revised.
The city held a press conference that morning and announced the detailed plan, which includes providing housing for newlyweds, such as “Newlywed 20-year leasehold housing,” in areas where the greenbelt has been lifted. Officials stated that they plan to utilize areas with low preservation value, such as damaged or underdeveloped areas within development restriction zones.
Additionally, the city has designated and managed areas previously scheduled for deregulation as land transaction permit zones. On the 7th, the city designated 125.16 hectares of the total development restriction area of 149.09 hectares in Seoul, excluding 23.93 hectares.
The city plans to accelerate the pace of redevelopment and reconstruction projects to expand the supply of apartments in the city center. Measures to expedite the process include promoting a pilot project for electronic voting union general meetings in the second half of this year and strengthening conflict management throughout the project cycle. The city also plans to implement the “Redevelopment and Reconstruction Project Support Plan” announced in March, aiming to expedite the supply of housing, including shortening the redevelopment project period for 130,000 households over the next six years.
Initially, the city refrained from lifting the greenbelt to preserve the natural environment. However, Mayor Oh Se-hoon explained his change of position, stating that lifting some development restrictions is necessary to address the housing crisis caused by low birth rates. He emphasized the need to create new housing sites to solve the housing problems of younger generations and the low birth rate.
