On September 18, Hwaseong City held a kickoff briefing for the "Hwaseong City GB Release District (District Unit Plan) Maintenance Service" and reviewed the future direction and major tasks of the project, the city announced on the 19th.

The maintenance targets comprise 53 districts covering 2.56 square kilometers, which have been managed as district unit planning areas after being released from the Green Belt zone in 2004 and 2006. The service period will run from July 2026 to November 2027.

This measure aims to assess the current status of long-term unimplemented urban planning facilities approaching the expiration of validity. By comprehensively considering the changed local conditions and feasibility of execution, the city seeks to develop a rational maintenance plan.

There are three main strategic directions. First, for infrastructure projects that are highly feasible, the city will establish implementation plans and maintain these facilities. Second, for facilities where local conditions have changed, Hwaseong will adjust their scale to suit the current reality. Third, for facilities lacking feasibility or where execution is virtually impossible, the city will proceed with phased deregulation procedures.

The plan is to relax unnecessary urban planning regulations to activate land use while promptly advancing key infrastructure projects essential for residents’ everyday lives in consultation with relevant departments.

Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun said, "Urban planning must accurately reflect the changed local conditions and the real lives of residents. Through this service project, we will closely examine the necessity and feasibility of long-term unimplemented urban planning facilities and establish a rational maintenance plan so that essential infrastructure for residents’ lives can be provided in a timely manner."

He added, "We will reasonably lift unnecessary regulations and push forward with the necessary facilities without delay to establish an urban management system that residents can truly experience."
