According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 1st, after making the western arterial road underground in August, it decided to build 300 public rental houses using the idle land. The Seobu Arterial Road is an urban expressway with a length of 8.1 km from Doksan-dong (Siheung Bridge) in Geumcheon-gu to Yangpyeong-dong (Mokdong Bridge) in Yeongdeungpo-gu and four round trips.
A city official said, “After the construction of the western arterial road is completed in August, the existing road will be reduced to create a general road, and 300 public rental housing units will be built using approximately 63,800㎡ of idle land around the roadside.”
This plan is the maximum possible to build public housing along the western arterial road. The city’s explanation is that the length of the idle site extending along the road is wide, but the actual housing site is insufficient. The public rental housing site is planned in the areas of Guil Station in Guro-gu and Gwangmyeong Bridge in Geumcheon-gu.
In addition, the city of Seoul is conducting a’city on the road’ project on the northern arterial road. By 2025, an artificial site will be built on the 500m section of the 1.2km section from Sinnae Intersection to Jungnang Intersection in the northern arterial road in Jungnang-gu, and a compact city with housing and jobs in about 75,000m2 including the surrounding area will be built as Seoul Housing City (SH) It is created with the corporation It plans to build 1000 public housing units with the goal of starting construction in the second half of the year.
As the ruling party mayor candidates of the Seoul Mayor of the ruling party made a pledge of the housing supply plan using idle road land, it is noted whether specific details will be included in this supply plan.
Candidate Young-seon Park (former Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business) said, “There are quite a lot of municipal oils that Seoul has.” “In a new idea, the land created by undergrounding roads is owned by the state or city, so we can provide half-price apartments.” Insisted. Candidate Sang-ho Woo (also a member of the Democratic Party) made a pledge of’a city on the road’. He said, “We will build 160,000 public housing units covering North Riverside Road and Olympic Highway.”
Both candidates Park and Woo also pledged to underground the ground sections of subway lines 1 and 4 in addition to roads.
While announcing the’Strategy for Balanced Gangnam-North Korea Development’, Candidate Woo said that △Seoul Station~Guro △Guro~Onsu △Guro~Geumcheon-gu Office △Cheongnyangni~Changdong section will be underground. Candidate Woo said, “A site of 175,000 pyeong is created through undergroundization,” and “We will adjust urban green areas and public housing in the above-ground section created by undergrounding the railroad road.”
There is also an optimistic outlook that if such a policy is realized, the housing market will stabilize. Earlier, SH Corporation President Kim Se-yong said in an interview with the media, “If the ratio of public rental housing accounts for 20% of the total housing in Seoul, you can get a house price in Seoul.”
Currently, the proportion of public rental housing in Seoul is 12% (350,000 units) compared to the total housing (2.98 million units as of 2019), and 230,000 more rental houses are needed to fill 20%.
