‘None’ to proceed with the 8/4 countermeasures project in response to the unilateral announcement of the target site without coordination
“Considering the possibility of business adjustment, the promises made by the heads of local governments and the policies of the new government are reflected”
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is starting to re-promote the metropolitan area public housing project (August 4 measures), which has been adrift for two years due to protests from local governments. We plan to discuss again with the local government from the second half of the year, and in the process of discussing, we will not stick to the existing project, public housing, but fully reflect the requirements.
Combining the daily coverage on the 15th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is planning to start consultations with local governments in the area affected by the 8/4 measures in the second half of the year.
The August 4 measures are policies announced during the Moon Jae-in administration in 2020, and increase the supply in the Seoul area, including the Seoul area, through the maintenance, recycling and public reconstruction of idle spaces such as Taereung CC, West License Examination Center, Gwacheon Government Complex, and Seoul Regional Procurement Service. is the main content.
At that time, the government presented the goal of “focusing on supplying housing needed to end-users in the Seoul area and other areas by discovering as much new housing sites as possible, such as military sites and relocation institutions.”
However, the project did not produce any significant results for nearly two years as protests grew against measures taken unilaterally without coordination with local governments and residents.
At some point, consultations with local governments were also stopped. An official from Seocho-gu Office said, “There has been no discussion with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport since the announcement of the measures.” “We must have something to say before we can come up with a plan, but the conversation has stopped. did. In the Seocho-gu Office, the Seoul Regional Procurement Service and the idle land of the National Diplomatic Academy are selected as target sites for supply.
The 8·4 supply plan, which seemed to be dead, will be fully implemented again after about two years. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to start consultations with local governments in the target area within the year. As the government and local government heads have changed, they will come to a conclusion after consultation again. The plan is to adjust the project plan by reflecting the policy direction of the new government and the promises made by local government heads, rather than sticking to the existing plan to supply only public housing such as rental.
Similar cases may arise as the city of Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, found an alternative site for the government complex in Gwacheon and canceled the plan. However, there is a possibility that the plans of the two sides will be mixed in places where it is not possible to prepare an alternative site.
An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, “During the local elections, the regional structure of the project sites has changed, and there is a new government policy direction. said
“However, since it has only been about a month since the mayor took office, consultations will begin in the second half of the year,” he explained.
