Seongdong-gu Launches Rapid Management Promotion Team for Redevelopment... Intensive Support for Haengdang 8 District and More

Director of Urban Management from Seoul Appointed as Concurrent Head

One-Stop Maintenance Administration... External Expert to Be Hired

On July 13, Seongdong-gu District Office in Seoul (Mayor Yoo Bohwa) announced that it has begun preparations to operate the newly established "Rapid Management Promotion Team for Redevelopment and Reconstruction," which was created as the first official approval of the 9th popular election term.

The Rapid Management Promotion Team is an organization that oversees all maintenance projects in the district, including redevelopment, reconstruction, and remodeling. Its responsibilities include site-specific consulting, coordination with relevant departments, support for licensing procedures, consultation with external experts, and mediation of resident conflicts.

The district appointed Yoo Okhyeon, the newly appointed Director of Urban Management, who has 30 years of experience in architecture and urban maintenance as a public official, to serve concurrently as the head of the promotion team. Since entering public service in 1995, Director Yoo has worked in Seoul Metropolitan Government's housing and New Town policy departments and in the architecture, housing, and urban maintenance departments of four district offices.

This dual role is temporary. The district explained that it is currently in the process of hiring an external expert to lead the promotion team, and Director Yoo will hold both positions until the hiring process is completed.

One of the first areas to be managed by the promotion team is the "Haengdang 8 District" area, around 300-1 Haengdang-dong. This district was conditionally selected as a candidate site for the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Rapid Integrated Planning for Housing Redevelopment on December 16 last year. Afterward, the district office proceeded with procedures such as gathering residents' opinions and holding resident briefings, fulfilling the required conditions. As a result, on May 18 this year, Haengdang 8 District was finally selected as a candidate site.

The district began recruiting members for the resident participation group on June 22, and on July 6, issued a bid notice to select contractors for the establishment of the maintenance plan and designation of the maintenance area. The district explained that this schedule is ahead of the bid notice for establishing the architectural maintenance plan, which the Seoul Metropolitan Government is expected to announce later this month.

Mayor Yoo Bohwa stated, "The Rapid Management Promotion Team is the first implementation project of the 9th popular election term, designed to directly coordinate and support maintenance projects that are delayed due to complex procedures and resident conflicts," and added, "We will realize a rapid and efficient maintenance administration that residents can truly experience, centering on a responsible leader with expertise and on-site experience."
