The Tainan City Government is promoting the "Tainan City Yongkang Datong City Land Rezoning Project" and recently held a groundbreaking ceremony. This project has gone through procedures such as the delisting of public facilities reservations, urban planning, and urban land rezoning. It has now officially entered the construction stage and is expected to be completed in 2028. In the future, public facilities such as parks, roads, and flood detention will be added to improve the local living and living environment.

Mayor Huang Weizhe said that the land rezoning area in Datong City, Yongkang, was about 3.7 hectares, and the project cost reached 150 million yuan. It took nearly 4 or 5 years from planning to construction, and the process involved the rights and interests of many landowners and people. After the rezoning is completed, it will not only increase parks and other public facilities and flood detention space, but also improve land use and the overall environment, taking into account public construction and landowners' rights and interests, creating a win-win situation for the public and private parties.

Huang Weizhe pointed out that Yongkang is currently the most populous administrative district in Tainan. With population and urban development, the demand for public facilities and housing has also increased. The city government continues to supplement public facilities such as roads and parks through land revitalization and public land rezoning, and strengthens flood control functions to improve the regional living environment.

Land Director Chen Shumei said that the total development area of ​​this project is about 3.714 hectares, of which the residential area is about 2.332 hectares, accounting for 62.79%; the land for public facilities is about 1.382 hectares, accounting for 37.21%, including 0.644 hectares of road land and 0.738 hectares of park and children's playground land.

The Land Bureau pointed out that a major feature of this project is to deorganize the "Wen Primary School 5" school land that has not been developed for many years and has no need for a school, and to incorporate it into the overall rezoning together with the surrounding market and park land. Before the rezoning, the land in the area was mostly used for low-density uses such as iron sheet factories, resource recycling plants, car washes and vacant land. In the future, land for residential and public facilities will be reallocated to improve land use efficiency.

After the rezoning, in addition to opening up roads and parks, a flood detention pond will also be set up in the park with a flood detention volume of 4,180 cubic meters. Parking spaces for automobiles and motorcycles and land reserved for activity centers will also be planned to take into account flood control, parking and public service needs.

The Land Bureau said that through the "deorganization, redistricting and revitalization" strategy, the city government returned idle public reserved land to the people. With the groundbreaking of the project, the Yongkang Datong redistricting area will have a new look, bringing a more livable, friendly and safe living environment to local residents.

Market research shows that the average transaction price of buildings and residential buildings in Yongkang District in the past year has been approximately 300,000 to 330,000 yuan per square meter. Due to the largest population, according to the July transaction volume announced by the Tainan City Land Bureau, Yongkang District has 408 transactions, making it the most popular administrative district in Tainan City, far more than the 273 buildings in the North District and the 167 buildings in the Annan District.
