'Jungnang Station Area Revitalization Project Site' Selected... First Case in Jungnang-gu

Land Use to Be Upgraded to General Commercial District

The project to revitalize the district around Jungnang Station, currently underway in the area surrounding Jungnanggyo Shopping Center in Sangbong-dong, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, has been approved as a target site by passing the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Advisory Committee for Station Area Revitalization Projects.

According to Jungnang-gu on October 2, the target site is the area around Jungnanggyo Shopping Center at the entrance to Dongbu Market-gil, 129-9 Sangbong-dong, which falls within the Sangbong Life Zone District Unit Planning Area. The district plans to redevelop the aging market area around Jungnang Station into a mixed-use complex that integrates residential, commercial, and community facilities (SOC).

This selection marks the first case in Jungnang-gu where the revised operational standards have been applied. For this non-central station area, upgrades to land-use zoning and eased requirements for public contributions will be implemented, providing a development foundation to areas where mixed-use development was previously difficult due to a lack of central station areas.

The district plans to rezone the quasi-residential area as a neighborhood commercial area to encourage high-density, mixed-use development, and intends to modernize the existing market, establishing it as a hub integrated with the specialization of Dongbu Market-gil to attract visitors. Facilities needed to serve the local population and public services will be secured as public contributions.

Jungnang-gu District Mayor Ryu Gyeonggi stated, “The selection of this district as a target site lays the groundwork for fully launching the Jungnang-gu station area revitalization project.” He added, “We will establish an open-traditional market at the entrance to Dongbu Market-gil and continue administrative support to vitalize the local commercial sector.”
