Candidate Byun introduced the direction of housing policy, such as high-density development in the station area, development of semi-industrial areas, and maintenance of small-scale houses with public participation at an online press conference on the 18th. Candidate Byun said, “Contrary to what is generally thought, in downtown Seoul, there are plenty of places to supply housing.” “Seoul is about 6 times larger than Paris, France, and the residential density is low.” Statistically, the population density of Seoul (16.18/㎢) is lower than that of Paris (21.28/㎢).
However, it is pointed out that this is not suitable for the reason that there is actually a lot of land to supply housing because it is a statistics compared to the simple area excluding development restricted areas such as natural green areas. According to statistics in Seoul, the green area of Seoul’s total urban planning area (605.59 ㎢) is 232.93 ㎢ (38.7%), which is as high as a third of the total.
Considering the characteristics of Seoul, which has a small flatland and a lot of mountainous terrain, the number of housing supply areas in Seoul is further reduced. In Seoul, there are many restrictions on the supply of housing, such as high altitude restrictions, as Naesasan (Bukaksan, Inwangsan, Namsan, Naksan) is located in the city center and Oesasan (Mt.
On the other hand, in the center of Paris, there are no mountains and large forests, Vincennes Forest Park (9.95㎢) and Boulogne Forest (8.46㎢), are located on the outskirts. This is the reason why criticism comes out about the remarks of Candidate Byeon,’Would you like to build a house from a mountain?
Candidate Byun argues that high-density development in the station area is necessary, citing that the average floor area ratio near subway stations in Seoul is low as a way to supply urban housing.
In fact, the youth housing near the Samgak area has a floor area ratio of 962% applied to the two dongs, and has entered into a mammoth-class rental housing supplying 1086 households (1916 units including shared type). The floor area ratio of 962% exceeds the floor area ratio of 919% in Dogok-dong, the 1st Tower Palace (1297 households, 4 buildings).
Professor Shim Gyo-eon of Konkuk University’s Department of Real Estate said, “You can secure the quantity of housing that meets the market demands only by solving the private reconstruction.”
