(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hwang Yoon-gi = On the 20th, President Lee Jae-myung, along with Blue House staff, visited the rooftop of an apartment in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, which was about to be moved in, and personally inspected the 3rd new city supply site.

President Lee climbed to the 15th floor rooftop of the A3 block building in the Gyeyang public housing district in Incheon around 3 p.m. on this day.

This building is expected to be the first apartment in the 3rd new town to be occupied by the end of this year, and construction is currently being completed.

President Lee was accompanied by Ha Joon-kyung, the new policy director in charge of real estate supply-related policies at the Blue House, and Shin Moon-hak, senior secretary for economic growth.

Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Hong Ji-seon, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) President Lee Seong-hoon, Incheon Mayor Park Chan-dae, and Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Nam-joon also accompanied them.

President Lee went up to the rooftop with a view of the surrounding grounds and received a report from the head of LH's business division in charge of the Gyeyang and Bucheon regions.

President Lee compared the panel and the actual site and asked, "How many generations will there be and what are the plans for the railroad?"

After hearing an explanation about areas where construction has not yet begun, he said, “This is an emergency time,” and urged, “We need to expedite supply as much as possible.”

When President Lee explained that it takes time to process the ground, President Lee ordered a more proactive response, saying, “There is also a way to proceed with the acceptance and consultation process at the same time while laying the groundwork.”

After inspecting for approximately 20 minutes, President Lee moved to the basement of the building and held a meeting with end users and real estate experts.

At the meeting, President Lee heard opinions on the introduction of modular (prefabricated) housing from experts and ordered, "Comprehensively review it with a view to creating a modular housing market."

Prospective residents suggested, "As the majority of residents are expected to commute to Seoul, measures to improve metropolitan transportation, including metropolitan buses, are needed," and Mayor Park, who was present at the meeting, responded, "We will prepare transportation measures as much as possible."
